Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
Dental identification of a deceased individual is a core task in forensic odontology. The accurate recording of clinical dental procedures has become more important over time because of the increasing trend of lawsuits worldwide. Previous reports have discussed the practical usefulness of endodontic evidence for human identification. Advances in endodontic imaging, root and root canal anatomy, and biomaterials have been consistently emerging in endodontic research and practice. This article provides an update on the interrelationship between endodontics and forensic personal identification. Dental identification plays an important role in the identification of remains when there is a lack of a fingerprint record. Post-mortem radiograph taken in a way that it duplicates the ante-mortem radiograph are extremely useful in the comparison process for personal forensic identification. Even the status of a person’s teeth changes throughout life and the combination of decayed, missing, and filled teeth is measurable and comparable at any fixed point in time.(1)
