disfigurement

The disfigurement tag on WindowsForum.com covers a legal discussion about whether teeth can be considered a dangerous weapon in an assault case. A thread titled 'Oregon court rules teeth not considered dangerous weapon in a fight' reports on a Court of Appeals ruling that biting during a brawl does not constitute first-degree assault using a dangerous weapon, even though it caused disfigurement. The case involved a defendant who bit off part of an opponent's ear, leading to a conviction that was partially overturned.
