Personal identification using dental evidence is decisive in the case of unidentified bodies because dental features, including decayed, missing and filled teeth, are unique to every individual. This review explored the possibilities and problems associated with personal identification through digital methods by the integration of telecommunications and dentistry, also known as teledentistry. Establishment of a global, objective personal identification method using dental evidence through teledentistry is desirable. However, the review reports that there are various problems that need to be resolved first, in aspects such as changes in dentition over time, technology, individual privacy and ethics. It is suggested that solving such problems and constructing a worldwide dental database for personal identification from dental images, using teledentistry, as part of social services, is a new challenge for researchers in forensic odontology and dentistry.
利用牙科证据进行个人识别在身份不明的尸体案件中是决定性的，因为牙齿特征，包括龋齿、缺失和填充的牙齿，对每个人都是独一无二的。本综述探讨了通过电信和牙科的整合，即远程牙科，通过数字方法进行个人识别的可能性和问题。通过远程牙科建立一种全球性的、客观的基于牙科证据的个人识别方法是可取的。然而，该综述报告称，首先需要解决各种问题，例如随着时间的推移牙齿的变化、技术、个人隐私和伦理问题。有人建议，解决这些问题并利用远程牙科构建一个全球性的牙科数据库，以便从牙科图像中进行个人识别，作为社会服务的一部分，这是法医学和牙科领域研究人员面临的新挑战。
