Social media applications can be valuable investigative tools in the search for missing and unidentified persons. As yet, no forensic App exists with the aim of assisting the human identification process, through the search of antemortem data to be used as adjunct data in the comparison with postmortem data collected. The aim of this article is to introduce a new application for Smartphones called "Selfie Forensic ID" App which will employ selfie and face photographs as an archive of dental data and dental features of the front teeth of missing persons sharing with Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter Social Networks (available for free download from both Android and Apple store at http://onelink.to/selfieforensic). Features such as diastema rotated or wrongly positioned teeth, lip anomalies, recognizable fixed prosthetics, dental crown discolorations, dental or cutis piercing could represent strong identifiers in the comparison of AM and PM data. The increased number of terrorist attacks and natural disasters which result in the premature death of innocent people underlines the importance of storing personal identification data to avoid bodies remaining unidentified. The authors believe there will be an increased public willingness to share personal ID information through understanding of the ethical and administrative consequences to the families of deceased persons should bodies remain unidentified.
社交媒体应用程序在寻找失踪人员和身份不明人员方面可以成为有价值的调查工具。目前，还没有一个法医应用程序的目的是通过搜索生前数据来辅助人类身份识别过程，以便在与收集的死后数据进行比较时用作辅助数据。本文的目的是介绍一款名为“自拍法医身份识别”应用程序的新智能手机应用程序，该应用程序将利用自拍和面部照片作为失踪人员前牙的牙科数据和牙齿特征的存档，并与Instagram、Tumblr和Twitter社交网络共享（可从安卓和苹果应用商店免费下载，网址为http://onelink.to/selfieforensic）。诸如牙缝、牙齿旋转或位置错误、嘴唇异常、可识别的固定修复体、牙冠变色、牙齿或皮肤穿孔等特征在生前和死后数据的比较中可能是强有力的识别标志。恐怖袭击和自然灾害导致无辜人员过早死亡的数量增加，凸显了存储个人身份数据以避免尸体身份不明的重要性。作者认为，通过了解尸体身份不明对死者家属造成的伦理和行政后果，公众将更愿意分享个人身份信息。
