Three situations requiring the identification process are considered, that is, (Situation 1) identification of air disaster victims, (Situation 2) identification of an unknown body, and (Situation 3) identification of a missing person. In this paper, a coding system using "Canobrain Programme" in each situation is described. It employs 3 digits and 2 letters in situation 1 or 4 digits in situations 2 and 3 to designate the status of a tooth surface and the nature of the dental materials used in any restoration. Illustrative examples of the trial of this system in situation 1 and 2 are set out.
