摘要

Forensic identification of unidentified deceased persons is based on three primary identifiers: dental status, DNA, and fingerprints. Intraoral 3D scans, which are increasingly being used in routine dental practice, contain high-resolution information on individual dental morphology. In the present case, a young man with preserved, healthy dentition was identified by the digital comparison of the postmortem scan with an antemortem intraoral scan. Traditional methods, such as dactyloscopy, DNA matching, and conventional fingerprinting were not available or not feasible. This case illustrates the potential of digital scan data for forensics and its growing importance as a primary identifier, especially for individuals with healthy dentition and no restorative work.
