Dental implants are crucial for forensic identification, especially after mass disasters. Their durability and unique features, like batch numbers, aid in identifying remains even after extreme conditions like incineration.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Odontology
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Dental implants are increasingly common and offer unique identification potential.
  • Mass disasters pose challenges for traditional forensic identification methods.

Approach:

  • A systematic literature review of PubMed and Web of Science was conducted.
  • 14 articles were included, focusing on dental implants in forensic identification.

Key Points:

  • Dental implants aid in identifying deceased individuals, with features like implant-maxillary sinus distance being pathognomonic.
  • Incineration experiments show batch numbers and implant structures survive, aiding identification.
  • Radiological assessment of dental implants is a valuable identification tool.
