| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop a new method for estimating time since death for immersed bodies. The change in the amount of deposits on the tooth surface with time was analyzed using the Electron Probe X-ray Micro Analyzer. As a result, the estimation formula of time since death for the immersed body could be calculated. In addition, when the difference in water component (sea water, river water, lake water) was examined, it was suggested that it is necessary to calculate each formula by classifying it into seawater and freshwater based on the difference in the contained components. In this study, we focused on seawater and calculated the regression equation.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
死後長期に経過した死体は、腐敗の影響から死後経過の推定は徐々に困難になる。さらに白骨化した場合においてはその傾向が顕著である。さらに水中死体の場合は死亡現場（あるいは入水現場）と発見現場が異なることがほとんどであるため、死体の身元確認のためにも死後経過時間の推定は重要である。本研究ではその点に要点を置き、法歯学的観点から死後経過時間の推定式の算出を行った。
