The Dental Forensic Sciences Research Group (FORENSEMED) is an integrated part of the Oral and Biomedical Sciences Research Unit (UICOB) at Faculdade de Medicina Dentária da Universidade de Lisboa (FMDUL). Researchers within this group are active in several areas of Forensic Odontology associated with dental age assessment, forensic human identification, dental anthropology and body damage evaluation. Our expertise is used to develop new methods and techniques as well as exploring fundamental and theoretical aspects of research across these sectors. Research outputs and implementation of expertise has been used to influence international government policy. Current group researchers are also actively working with the police forces and forensic practitioners on research projects in order to provide expertise.
