Abstract:
Denture marking helps to identify unknown individuals in social and forensic scenarios. This article describes a simple technique of incorporating a patient's photograph with details in the patient's denture. The photographic marker will help in quick identification in old age homes as it is easily readable by a layperson, playing an important role in day-to-day identification. This technique can be used to label both new and existing dentures that are not marked. The simple technique will ensure positive identification of denture wearers.
