- Bite mark analysis is primarily used in sexual assault and violent crime investigations because these crimes often involve physical altercations where the perpetrator may leave bite marks on the victim.
- These marks can help identify suspects by matching dental patterns or exclude individuals from suspicion.
- In contrast, poisoning, drug overdose, and theft cases rarely present with bite marks, making bite mark analysis irrelevant in those contexts.
