Forensic organizations worldwide have recommended that dental prostheses should be labeled with at least the patient's name and preferably with further unique identifiers such as social security number, etc. The practice of denture marking has been conducted over many years and several denture marking systems have been reported in the dental literature. However, very little is known about the resilience of such systems to conditions experienced in the majority of post- and perimortem assaults. The purpose of this investigation therefore, was to expose a selection of 10 denture labels to a series of hostile environments. Results of the study indicate that the majority of the denture labeling systems appear capable of withstanding a range of common, and not so common postmortem assaults. With regard to thermal insult, however, most performed badly with the exception of a label constructed from stainless steel orthodontic band. However, another label in the form of an electronic RFID-tag performed above expectations in the majority of experiments. Furthermore, its cosmetic appearance has proven most popular with many patients.
全球法医组织建议，假牙至少应标有患者姓名，最好还标有社会安全号码等其他唯一标识符。假牙标记的做法已经进行了多年，牙科文献中也报道了几种假牙标记系统。然而，对于这些系统在大多数死后和濒死期袭击中所经历的条件下的耐久性，人们知之甚少。因此，本次调查的目的是让10种假牙标签样本经受一系列恶劣环境的考验。研究结果表明，大多数假牙标记系统似乎能够承受一系列常见和不太常见的死后袭击。然而，在热损伤方面，除了由不锈钢正畸带制成的标签外，大多数表现不佳。然而，另一种电子射频识别标签形式的标签在大多数实验中表现超出预期。此外，事实证明它的外观最受许多患者欢迎。
