Abstract :
Identity of a person is every individual’s primary right, either when they are alive or dead. Always, importance is given for identification, which is done by comparative data analysis, i.e. post and ante mortem comparison; but no where do we get complete dental details or records in a single place which can make the identification process genuine and easier. Data kept by some of the dentists is sketchy and when it comes to being used for identification, it lacks uniformity and comprehensiveness. Hence it is advisable to include patients intra oral and extra oral photographs, lip prints, palatal rugae patterns, radiographs so that in disasters, more the points of verification, the better the chance of identification. This study addresses the gap in collection, classification, compilation, storage and retrieval when asked to provide dental data for identification, for disaster related deaths. So the need of the hour is to have every individual’s detailed dental records with essential photographs and x–rays and to have all the details stored safely, which could be used any time in the future by the patients or their family members, after producing a legal official request letter.
