Objective: To use gum as a make-shift impression material to overcome the drawbacks of the conventionally used dental materials and assess its feasibility in forensic odontology. Materials and Method: The technique used requires minimum instrumentation like commercially available chewing gum and a solution that was prepared in the lab along with a camera to capture the images recorded. Result: The technique used could record the dental anatomy and the non-metric traits which would be helpful in the process of identification. The technique also proved to be helpful in the recording of tongue prints. Conclusion: To use chewing gum for recording the morphologic details present on the tooth surface and ease the process.
