Abstract

Forensic dentistry is one of the advanced and reliable branches of dentistry which helps to identify victims in mass disasters and in many medico legal investigations with the help of identification markers in the prosthesis. This review article explains the various denture markers which can be used in the field of forensic odontology and also describes about the strengths and weaknesses of various methods involved in this field. The dental literature was searched via, Science Direct, Ebsco Host and Medline/PubMed from 1933 to 2013.This article also describes the various methods which are less expensive and can be easily used as an identification tool during the time of need.
