Forensic odontology and anthropology play an important role in the identification of humans/victims in mass disasters (accidents and earthquakes) and criminal cases (homicide, rape and suicide) even if less available human remains or samples. Forensic also helps in the identification of age, sex, stature estimation and race identification using photographs, bite marks, lip prints, palatal rugae, radiographs and dental DNA identification if antemortem records are available. Here, we review the available methods of human identification. Cone-beam computed tomography of the skull showed superiority in comparison of both facial skeletal and soft tissue to examine the teeth, occlusion, palatal rugae, soft tissue thickness and other unique features.
法医牙科学和体质人类学在大规模灾难（事故和地震）及刑事案件（凶杀、强奸和自杀）中的人类/受害者身份鉴定中发挥着重要作用，即便可供利用的人体遗骸或样本较少。法医鉴定在有生前记录的情况下，还能借助照片、咬痕、唇纹、腭皱襞、X光片和牙齿DNA鉴定等手段，帮助鉴定年龄、性别、身高并识别种族。在此，我们综述现有的人类身份鉴定方法。颅骨的锥形束计算机断层扫描在检查牙齿、咬合、腭皱襞、软组织厚度及其他独特特征方面，在面部骨骼和软组织的比较中显示出优越性。
