scale
notes: label: Description
content: This scale comes from the School of Dental Medicine at the University at Buffalo Laboratory for Forensic Odontology Research. It was used in studies conducted by Dr. Mary Bush, Mr. Peter Bush, and their graduate students. They used a custom apparatus (2023.0110.01) and varied teeth molds (2023.0110.02 and 2023.0110.03) in a series of cadaver studies that were approved by a Human Subject Review Board in order to better understand the numerous variables that can affect bitemarks left in the skin. The scale was included in photographs of bitemarks to assist with later comparisons.
