Denture marking, a method to identify individuals, is legally regulated only in Sweden and Iceland in Europe, but mandatory in 21 US states. Improved identification in forensic odontology cases could increase by 10% with wider denture marking adoption.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Odontology
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Sweden permanently marks dentures with stainless steel bands containing patient data.
  • Denture marking is recommended but not mandatory if refused by the patient.
  • Requirements for denture markers include biocompatibility, affordability, and durability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the current status of denture marking regulations and practices in Europe and the United States.
  • To highlight the importance of denture marking for identification in forensic cases and long-term care facilities.
  • To advocate for international consensus and collaboration on denture marking standards.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a survey on denture marking regulations and practices across European countries and the United States.

  • Analyzed existing national and state-level legislation regarding denture marking.
  • Reviewed data on the potential impact of denture marking on forensic identification.

    • Main Results:

    • Denture marking is legally regulated only in Sweden and Iceland in Europe.
    • In the US, 21 states mandate denture marking, with variations in requirements for patient requests and long-term care facilities.
    • Widespread denture marking could increase identification in fire incidents by approximately 10%.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a lack of international consensus on denture marking, necessitating further discussion and collaboration.
    • Standardized denture marking practices are crucial for both clinical identification and forensic odontology.
    • Increased adoption of denture marking can significantly improve the ability to identify individuals in mass disaster or fire scenarios.
