Sažetak
This article reviews the emerging field of periodontal tissue analysis in the context of forensic trauma assessment. Periodontal tissues are examined for their unique potential to improve the accuracy and scope of forensic investigations. They respond dynamically to different types of injuries, exhibiting distinct histological changes and features, thereby providing insights into the nature and timing of injuries. Although this method is promising, it also poses notable challenges, including contamination risks, post-mortem changes, and interpretation of histological results. Future implications will focus on advances in molecular analysis, integration of imaging technology, and establishment of reference databases. Standardization, quality assurance, and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential for reliable periodontal tissue analysis. In summary, periodontal tissue analysis is a dynamic and promising tool with significant implications in forensics, provided that it is used ethically and in accordance with the highest standards. This emerging field highlights the use of periodontal tissue analysis and the commitment of forensic experts needed to unravel the complexities of trauma, offering a potential path in the field of forensic science.
