The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of accuracy in establishing identity in edentulous individuals by using occlusal "ante- and postmortem" radiographs of the maxilla. Twelve examiners with the following background; six dental radiologists, four other specialists in dentistry and two dental students were asked to combine the radiographs. The results showed that six of the 12 observers were able to correctly establish identity for all 20 cases. Five of these observers were dental radiologists and one of them was a prosthodontist. The other specialists made 3-8 identifications. The senior and the junior dental students made two and four incorrect identifications. The findings from this study emphasise the importance of having more than one forensic specialist signing the identification form. The results also indicate that examiners well trained in oral radiology are able to determine a positive identity even in cases where the teeth are not present.
本研究的目的是通过使用上颌骨的咬合“生前和死后”X线片来评估无牙颌个体身份识别的准确程度。邀请了12名具有以下背景的检查者：6名牙科放射科医生、4名其他牙科专家和2名牙科学生来组合这些X线片。结果显示，12名观察者中有6人能够正确识别所有20例病例的身份。其中5名观察者是牙科放射科医生，1名是口腔修复科医生。其他专家做出了3 - 8次身份识别。高年级和低年级牙科学生分别做出了2次和4次错误识别。本研究的结果强调了让不止一名法医专家在身份识别表格上签字的重要性。结果还表明，即使在没有牙齿的情况下，接受过口腔放射学良好培训的检查者也能够确定明确的身份。
