Forensic identification using odontology is based on the comparison of ante-mortem and post mortem dental records. The insertion of a radio frequency identification (RFId) tag into dentures could be used as an aid to identify decomposed bodies, by storing personal identification data in a small transponder that can be radio-transmitted to a reader connected to a computer. A small passive, 12 x 2,1 mm, read-only RFId-tag was incorporated into the manufacture of three trial complete upper dentures and tested for a signal. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the feasibility of manufacturing such a dental prosthesis, the technical protocols for its implantation in the denture resin and its working principles. Future research and tests are required in order to verify human compatibility of the tagged denture and also to evaluate any potential deterioration in strength when subjected to high temperatures, or for damage resulting from everyday wear and tear. It should also be able to withstand the extreme conditions resulting from major accidents or mass disasters and procedures used to perform a forensic identification.
法医牙科学鉴定是基于生前和死后牙科记录的比对。通过将个人身份识别数据存储在一个可通过无线电传输到与计算机相连的读取器的小型应答器中，在假牙中插入射频识别（RFId）标签可用于协助识别已腐烂的尸体。一个12×2.1毫米的小型无源只读RFId标签被整合到三个试验性全口上假牙的制造中，并进行了信号测试。本文的目的是证明制造这种假牙的可行性、将其植入假牙树脂中的技术方案及其工作原理。为了验证带标签假牙的人体兼容性，以及评估其在高温下或日常磨损导致的强度潜在下降情况，还需要进行进一步的研究和测试。它还应能够承受重大事故或大规模灾难以及法医鉴定程序所带来的极端条件。
