The authors record the contribution of dentistry to the identification of American victims of one of the most significant aircraft tragedies involving American athletes-the March 1980 crash of a Soviet-made Ilyushin 62 Polish jetliner and the deaths of 31 Americans including a 22-member U.S. amateur boxing team with several U.S. Olympic team candidates. Preparedness was a factor in the dental team's ability to resolve many notable and unexpected problems. Jurisdictional restraints that Polish authorities imposed on the U.S. investigative team hindered its efforts to identify American passengers. The team used dental and fingerprint methods of identification whenever possible and obtained further evidence from anthropologic methods, visual recognition, and personal effects. Dental readiness, organization, methodology, and lessons learned are documented in this paper.
作者记录了牙科在识别美国受害者方面所做的贡献，这些受害者来自涉及美国运动员的最重大飞机悲剧之一——1980年3月一架苏联制造的伊柳辛62型波兰喷气式客机坠毁事件，31名美国人丧生，其中包括一支22人的美国业余拳击队，以及几名美国奥运代表队候选人。准备工作是牙科团队解决许多显著和意外问题能力的一个因素。波兰当局对美国调查团队施加的管辖权限制阻碍了其识别美国乘客身份的努力。该团队尽可能使用牙科和指纹识别方法，并从人类学方法、视觉识别和个人物品中获取了更多证据。本文记录了牙科方面的准备情况、组织情况、方法以及经验教训。
