Abstract  

We read, with great enthusiam, the article entitled “Forensic Dentistry - Need to Expand the Horizon”, authored by Sukhpal Kaur, and published in volume 3, issue 3 (December 2023) of Medicon Dental Science [1]. We congratulate the author on the article and its broad and visionary approach. The article is well-written and describes the importance of the dental surgeon's forensic work, particularly in the criminal field. However, the role of the dental surgeon in the legal sphere goes beyond the elucidation of criminal situations.
