This study was designed to provide insight concerning the attitudes and practices of forensic dentists regarding antemortem dental records reviewed for purposes of dental identification. Forensic dentists were invited to participate in a 10 item survey. The majority of the respondents reported a considerable amount of experience in dental identifications of the deceased. Sixty-six percent reported having suspected dental negligence or fraud in their antemortem record reviews. Only 17% believe that a forensic dentist should report suspected dental negligence, while 31% agree that dental fraud should be reported. Their response to additional issues addressed in the study suggests diversity in the practices and attitudes of forensic dentists in the use of antemortem dental records. In conclusion, opening a dialogue among practicing forensic dentists may lead to a standardized set of recommendations by the appropriate societies in the forensic dental community.
本研究旨在深入了解法医牙医在为牙齿鉴定目的审查生前牙科记录时的态度和做法。邀请法医牙医参与一项包含10个项目的调查。大多数受访者表示在死者牙齿鉴定方面有相当丰富的经验。66%的受访者报告称在生前记录审查中曾怀疑存在牙科疏忽或欺诈行为。只有17%的人认为法医牙医应报告疑似牙科疏忽，而31%的人同意应报告牙科欺诈。他们对研究中涉及的其他问题的回答表明，法医牙医在使用生前牙科记录的做法和态度上存在差异。总之，在执业法医牙医之间展开对话可能会促使法医牙科界的相关协会制定一套标准化的建议。
