An essay by J. Sottosanti titled “ Dental Surgeon’s Observance of Teeth in the Image on the Shroud of Turin ” published on 1 September 2025 supports the view that the lower teeth are partially visible on the image of the Shroud of Turin. The paper is short at just over 1,500 words and is an easy read. Many have assessed the Shroud image to be anatomically correct.
