Forensic (from the Latin word forum) means ‘court of law’. Odontology refers to study of teeth. Federation Dentaire Interrnational (FDI) thus defines Forensic Odontology as ‘that branch of dentistry which deals with the proper handling and examination of dental evidence and with the proper evaluation and presentation of dental findings in the interest of justice’ (by Keiser-Neilson).

difficult and strenuous profession, but In school science awoke my interest in Medicine. I enjoyed the neurosciences and genetics modules as a combination of the different sciences. Knowing more about the functioning of the body on a molecular basis would enable me to understand the occurrence of certain illnesses, as small changes can have a massive impact, such as the onset of progeria. Through studying chemistry I came to understand aspects of other sciences or even everyday life. The basics of biomolecules

But when discussed in depth, the meaning and application of 5W and 1 H on digital evidence and chain of custody among researchers are different from each other. Some have suggested that the 5W and 1 H aspects must always exist in every stage of forensic activity and its interaction with digital evidence, but there is also meaning that the aspect is sufficient to describe the initial process when obtaining digital evidence. In the context of recording interactions with digital evidence, the meaning
