Title: Postmortem Autolytic Changes in Oral Mucosa: Histological Review
Abstract: Following death various changes occur in the human body known as postmortem changes. These postmortem changes begin at molecular level which can be noted microscopically and finally grossly. Postmortem interval (PMI) is the time elapsed since death. Estimation of time since death is still a difficult task even for an experienced forensic pathologist. Gross changes within human body which occur following death during the postmortem interval have been routinely used to estimate the time of death considering different conditions. However, histological changes of skin and oral mucosa which occur during the postmortem interval have occasionally been used to estimate the time of death under different conditions.
