Evaluating the Efficacy of Innovative Coding System for Ceramic Restorations

Abstract

Background: Forensic odontology has evolved with the evolution of mankind. Since ages it has been of our interest to identify the dead. Because of events beyond our control many human beings may not die a natural death or in familiar surroundings. The task of identifying these individuals is of paramount importance in forensic odontology. Method: A Quick response code of minimum dimension was customized and incorporated into e max lithium disilicate restorations. Restorations are fabricated in such a way that it can scanned using mobile software and displays aadhar number of patient, which ultimately helps in forensic identification. Result: This coded prosthesis helps in the identification of individuals. Conclusion: Code used in present study was readable in most of the ceramic restorations and maintains its sustainability in all the conditions under which it was tested.
