Non-odontologists (lay participants) scored poorly, with a mean accuracy of only 60%. Use of the graded ABFO, DVISYS and INTERPOL scales resulted in general improvements in performance, with the false-positive and false-negative rates falling to approximately 2% overall. Inter-examiner agreement in assigning scale degrees was good (ICC = 0.64), however there was little correlation between confidence and both accuracy or agreement among practitioners. These results suggest that use of a non-binary scale is supported over a match/non-match call as it reduces the frequency of false positives and negatives. The use of the terms “possible” and “insufficient information” in the same scale appears to create confusion, reducing inter-examiner agreement. The lack of agreement between higher-performing and lower-performing groups suggests that there is an inconsistency in the cognitive processes used to determine similarity between radiographs.]]> Fri 19 Aug 2022 11:49:46 AEST ]]> Interpretation, confidence and application of the standardised terms: Identified, Probable, Possible, Exclude and Insufficient in forensic odontology identification https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49383 Fri 12 May 2023 14:27:39 AEST ]]> Geomatic techniques in forensic science: a review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38779 Fri 02 Sep 2022 09:43:22 AEST ]]>
