Background: Forensic dentistry plays a major role in the human identification, mainly in mass disasters situations. Forensic odontologist applies several techniques and correlates different parameters to establish an accurate scheme toward identification. Materials and Methods: A PubMed search was carried out for different parameters involved in human identification in forensic dentistry; the results focused on oral and dental correlated factors, genetics, and radiology. 47 articles were included in this review. Results: The main parameters found to be involved in forensic dentistry procedures were divided into four categories: (1) Comparative identification of oral and dental parameters, especially when ante-mortem records are available; (2) reconstructive identification of oral and dental parameters helping in gender and age estimation; (3) genetics and DNA extraction and printing that can be found in dental structures and biological remains; (4) radiographs and computed tomography images included in the matching procedure that is of great help in identification. Conclusion: The results of this study reported the correlation and importance of different parameters to be included in the process of human identification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
