Following mass disasters and individual deaths, dentists with special training and experience in forensic odontology are frequently called upon to assist in the identification of badly mutilated or decomposed bodies. Teeth and dental restorations are resistant to destruction by fire and the elements and are, therefore, useful in identification. The forensic odontologist makes use of dental radiographs taken of the victim before death. These are compared to dental data from the remains to assist in making the identification. Many features of the teeth and numerous characteristics of dental treatment are quite unique. This permits accurate and legally acceptable identification of the remains. The cases described illustrate the procedures and techniques of identification using ante-mortem and post-mortem radiographs.
在大规模灾难和个人死亡事件发生后，具备法医牙科学特殊培训和经验的牙医经常被要求协助辨认严重毁损或腐烂的尸体。牙齿和牙齿修复体耐火且耐自然因素破坏，因此有助于身份识别。法医牙科学专家利用受害者生前拍摄的牙科X光片。将这些片子与遗体的牙科数据进行比对，以协助进行身份识别。牙齿的许多特征以及牙科治疗的众多特点都相当独特。这使得能够对遗体进行准确且在法律上可接受的身份识别。所描述的案例说明了使用生前和死后X光片进行身份识别的程序和技术。
