Forensic Odontology is a budding science that utilizes dental knowledge in the court of law. It has now
proved itself as an important science in medico-legal issues and personal or individual identification, gender
& age determination. Ameloglyphics stands for imprints of the tooth and the enamel rod end patterns on the
surfaces of the tooth. Teeth are resistant to environmental alterations like fire, desiccation, or decomposition.
Enamel rod patterns are unique and are different for every individual. This review covers the basics of using
enamel rod end patterns that are employed in personal identification in natural calamities.
