BACKGROUND: Dog bite marks and injuries on humans is a significant public health problem with relatively high frequency, impact on economic productivity and quality of life.

AIMS: This survey aimed to investigate current practices and perspectives among forensic odontologists regarding the analysis of dog bite marks, focusing on key aspects such as documentation protocols, canine examinations, DNA collection, and legal considerations across various jurisdictions.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A survey was conducted among 22 forensic odontologists to gather insights into their experiences and practices related to dog bite mark investigations. Respondents were asked about their approaches to documenting bite marks, examining suspect dogs, collecting biological evidence, and complying with legal requirements in different countries.

CONCLUSIONS: The survey findings highlight consensus on fundamental investigative steps such as photographing bite marks and conducting canine examinations. However, variations exist in practices related to DNA collection, and legal requirements across jurisdictions. These insights underscore the need for standardized protocols and further research to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of forensic analyses in this critical domain
