I'm not familiar with this case or the trial, but you need a LOT more than a bite mark "match" to convict someone.

The proponents of bite mark evidence would like you to believe that bite marks are as distinctive as fingerprints, and that is pure bullsh!t.

A bite mark may rule out someone as making it, but can never be absolute proof that a specific person did made it. The best that can be said is that the mark is consistent with the suspected individual and could have been made by that person.
