Abstract

Forensic Odontology is the branch of dentistry which deals with the proper handling and
examination of dental evidence and the proper evaluation and presentation of dental findings
in the interest of justice. Denture marking is accepted as a means of identifying dentures and
persons in geriatric institutions, during war, crimes, and civil unrest, natural and mass
disasters, post mortem and medico-legal investigations. Various methods have been proposed
for denture marking but it is important to use a method that is simple, practical, affordable
and universally acceptable. This paper reviews the various methods of denture marking and
highlights the significance of placing identification marks on dentures.
