Abstract:
Fatal accidents are rather common in mining endeavours. Establishing the identification of the deceased in mining accidents can be extremely challenging and the palatal identity appliance is a custom made intra oral device with an embedded memory chip with complete data stored in it which can be very useful in such situations to establish the identity of the dead.
