The analysis of dental materials in forensic investigations is very important. Identifying the victims of accidents or attacks sometimes requires the analysis of their dentures. In this paper, X-ray spectrometry was used as a method to determine the chemical composition of a dental material. In this case, it was established that it was a dental alloy (Cr-Ni-Mo) with a percentage composition of 23.58% Cr, 64.32% Ni and 10.82% Mo.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
