Forensic identification (ID) based on an assessment of the dentition is commonplace. However, despite an increase in the oral health of Western populations, there are still many millions of individuals who are edentulous and whom have been treated with completed dentures. In the United Kingdom alone over 300,000 patients are rendered edentulous each year. In order to facilitate the ID of such individuals a number of forensic and governmental organizations have recommended that dentures be labeled. A number of labeling systems exist which can be broadly separated into inclusion systems, marking systems, and novel methods. Each of the commonly described systems are demonstrated with an assessment of their strengths and weaknesses. It is recommended that an inclusion denture marker, preferably metallic, should be used in order to withstand the most common postmortem assaults.
基于牙列评估的法医鉴定很常见。然而，尽管西方人群的口腔健康状况有所改善，但仍有数百万人无牙，并已佩戴全口义齿。仅在英国，每年就有超过30万患者变成无牙状态。为了便于识别这类个体，一些法医和政府组织建议给义齿贴上标签。现有的一些标签系统可大致分为纳入系统、标记系统和新方法。文中展示了每种常见系统，并评估了它们的优缺点。建议使用一种纳入式义齿标记物，最好是金属材质的，以抵御最常见的死后破坏。
