A Pilot Study on the Deposition of Drugs in Dental Tissues as Alternative Matrices for Forensic Toxicology
These findings suggest that other substances orally assumed might be endowed with similar effects on dental tissues, especially when combined with sugar or acid solutions, supporting teeth as viable matrices in post-mortem toxicology. However, pulp concentrations may reflect oral contamination rather than systemic levels.
