A new, simple, and reliable forensic identification system has been described. It permits the rapid and positive identification of victims of catastrophies such as airplane accidents, battles, floods, and fires. An electronic microprocessing unit directs a mechanical engraver to encode up to 13 alphanumeric characters on a small gold disk 0.25 mm thick and 2.0 mm in diameter. The identification chip is sealed in a 0.8-mm deep cavity prepared with a specially designed diamond burr in the lingual enamel of a molar tooth. The sealant is a stained composite material shown experimentally to be leakage proof, fire resistant, and readily detectable in teeth exposed to high temperatures. At the identification center the gold disk can easily be recovered and the victim positively identified without recourse to time-consuming comparison of dental records. Minimal training is required for the forensic personnel.
一种新型、简单且可靠的法医鉴定系统已被描述。它能够快速且准确地识别诸如飞机失事、战争、洪水和火灾等灾难的受害者。一个电子微处理单元指挥一台机械雕刻机在一个厚度为0.25毫米、直径为2.0毫米的小金盘上编码多达13个字母数字字符。识别芯片被密封在一个0.8毫米深的腔体内，该腔体是用专门设计的金刚石磨头在一颗磨牙的舌侧牙釉质中制备的。密封剂是一种经过实验证明具有防漏、耐火且在高温下暴露的牙齿中易于检测的染色复合材料。在鉴定中心，金盘可以很容易地被取出，并且无需借助耗时的牙科记录比对就能准确识别受害者。法医人员所需的培训极少。
