Abstract

Law enforcement agencies have exploited biometrics for decades as key tools in forensic identification. With the evolution in information technology and the huge volume of cases that need to be investigated by forensic specialists, automation of forensic identification became inevitable. Postmortem (PM) identification requires use of biometric characteristics that resist early decay of body tissues as well as withstand severe conditions usually encountered in mass disasters. Dental features are the best candidates for PM identification.
