Forensic odontology with digital technologies: A systematic review
Abstract
Postmortem dental examinations play an important role in individual identification. In forensic odontology, individual identification is based on a traditional visual comparison of the antemortem dental record and dental radiographs with those obtained by postmortem examinations. Digitization in forensic odontology has recently started. The aim of this systematic review was to reveal the progress in forensic odontology by using ante/postmortem information obtained by digital technologies. Thirty-six eligible studies were included. No methods with digital technology have been accepted worldwide because of various factors such as expensive special equipment and the cost of other components. Further research should be conducted and progress should be made in the field of forensic odontology along with the progression of general digital technology.
