Abstract

Skull identification is extremely important in today’s society, especially in medico-legal circumstances. As a
result, all technological advancements in this field can contribute to the growing need for precise and robust
tools that allow for the establishment and verification of human identity. Identification of skulls when all other
proof and evidence are destroyed or limited requires the usage of facial reconstruction for the forensic team.
The facial graphics serve as an emphasis for public attention to specifics of the case to generate additional
investigative guidance. The physical appearance of the face is at its best a significant cause for the purposeful
identification and communication to the investigating authorities of knowledge. Human identification is one
of the most remarkable approaches in the field of forensic medicine. The identification mission is performed
in the field of forensic anthropology by the examination of the skeletal remains. Anthropologists have been
paying attention to improve the techniques that allow accurate and clearer identification. Therefore, forensic
identification has become an active field of study and skull detection has emerged as a vital source for
identification. Skull identification is attracted and applied in many forensic areas. This review articleis a
summation of the various facial reconstruction approaches and their role in forensic science to identify the
individual.
