Optimized approach to the study of the dentoalveolar apparatus in forensic identification

22/05/2026

AI Summary

Comparative analysis of antemortem dentoalveolar records with postmortem jaw bone findings enhances accuracy of personal identification.
Dental and periodontal data are crucial when genetic methods fail due to burning, putrefaction, or insufficient cadaveric material.
An optimised algorithm for periodontal complex examination is proposed to standardise and expedite forensic dental identification procedures.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of the work is to draw parallels between lifetime and posthumous studies of the dentoalveolar apparatus during the forensic examination of personal identification. The material obtained during life on the state of the dentoalveolar system, both in aggregate and separately, is valuable for comparative analysis with bone objects of the jaws delivered for medical and forensic examination. The relevance of the study is associated with increasing cases of terrorism, hostilities, mass graves, natural disasters, when conducting a genetic study of cadaveric material presents certain difficulties (burning objects, significant putrefactive changes, insufficient amount of the studied material, etc.). In this regard, an optimized algorithm for the study of the periodontal complex is proposed.
