The differences in opinions can be at least partly accounted for by the inconsistent nature of approaches used by different practitioners in assessing bitemark evidence. The results of this study indicate that more definitive guidelines as to the assessment of bitemarks as patterned injuries should be developed to ensure the highest possible level of practitioner agreement.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:50 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17897 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:56:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25720 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:30 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42238 90% of the time, with no individual making the correct yes/no decision for all 50 pairs of radiographs. 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 ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49383 Fri 12 May 2023 14:27:39 AEST ]]>
