Abstract

Identification of a person through forensic science is an art of giving the corpse a name. Denture markers play an important role in forensic odontology and also in identifying a deceased person. A number of methods are used. Out of the differently available denture markers, the barcoding system is a way of collecting data from the mobile. It can be easily incorporated during the fabrication process of the denture and thus could be helpful in identification. This article reviews the importance of bar-coding and how easily it can be used in the routine procedure.
