Abstract

 Introduction: The significance of denture marking is immense when a positive identity of an individual is required which has been stressed by forensic odontologist internationally. In a developing country like India, an inadequate database of dental records have challenged the forensic science. Labelled dentures can be vital in identifying people who have lost their memory or in identifying the bodies of those who have died in disasters.Two methods of denture marking have been proposed, the surface marking and inclusion method. Surface marking wears off easily while inclusion methods being more permanent were used for denture labelling in this case report. Methodology: The three inclusion methods used includes the bar coding method, photographic method and matrix band method. These three methods were used for labelling dentures in patients. This case report presents the methodology and various benefits of the denture labelling in three completely edentulous patients. Discussion: An appropriate framework within dental education is required to ensure that both dentist and student dental technologists are exposed to denture marking methodologies There is a need to offer patients an esthetically suitable denture marking system that is also inexpensive and permanent.
