"Dr John Sottosanti stood before the Shroud of Turin, the ancient linen believed to have wrapped Jesus' body after the crucifixion, when he noticed something few had ever seen: the faint outline of human teeth beneath the cloth's imprint. In a new, yet-to-be peer-reviewed study, Sottosanti revealed that he could discern the biting edges of the lower front teeth, known as the incisal plane."
"The detail, he said, is extraordinary: the lower teeth on the Shroud suggest the body emitted a burst of radiant energy at the moment of the Resurrection, powerful enough to imprint even the smallest anatomical features. 'Suppose teeth, located behind the lower lip, are indeed evident in the image on the Shroud,' Sottosanti said. 'In that case, their presence lends credence to the theory that a burst of energy was released at the time of the resurrection, allowing them to be in the image.'"
"However, not all experts are convinced by the conclusion. Dr Kelly Kearse, an immunologist who has extensively studied the Shroud of Turin, told the Daily Mail: 'The issue of visible teeth on the Shroud is a subjective one and has been around for several years. 'In my opinion, for what it's worth, I believe it is difficult to tell because of the banding of the cloth, which appears white in the negative image.'"
Dr John Sottosanti identified a faint outline of human lower front teeth on the Shroud of Turin and reported discerning the incisal plane. The finding appears in a new yet-to-be peer-reviewed study. He concluded that only lower teeth are visible, likely because upper teeth were hidden by a mustache and lips. He cited primary flaccidity after death as a mechanism for jaw opening and argued the imprint implies a burst of radiant energy at the moment of resurrection, powerful enough to capture fine anatomical detail. Other researchers remain skeptical, noting cloth banding and subjective interpretation can obscure tooth visibility.
