“…The diverse possibilities offered by dental records have been extensively studied for personal identification, and dental records can be used for positive identification. 6 Fujimoto et al (2016) 35 proposed a new method of personal identification, the IDOL method, which uses reference points in anatomical structures on AM panoramic radiographs compared to PM computed tomography. Satisfactory results were obtained without relying on dental treatments as a reference.…”

Purpose This study aimed to assess the usefulness of machine learning and automation techniques to match pairs of panoramic radiographs for personal identification. Materials and Methods Two hundred panoramic radiographs from 100 patients (50 males and 50 females) were randomly selected from a private radiological service database. Initially, 14 linear and angular measurements of the radiographs were made by an expert. Eight ratio indices derived from the original measurements were applied to a statistical algorithm to match radiographs from the same patients, simulating a semi-automated personal identification process. Subsequently, measurements were automatically generated using a deep neural network for image recognition, simulating a fully automated personal identification process. Results Approximately 85% of the radiographs were correctly matched by the automated personal identification process. In a limited number of cases, the image recognition algorithm identified 2 potential matches for the same individual. No statistically significant differences were found between measurements performed by the expert on panoramic radiographs from the same patients. Conclusion Personal identification might be performed with the aid of image recognition algorithms and machine learning techniques. This approach will likely facilitate the complex task of personal identification by performing an initial screening of radiographs and matching ante-mortem and post-mortem images from the same individuals.

“…3 Especially antemortem panoramic recordings are easier to access than 3D imaging methods. Fujimoto et al 26 computed tomography images of patients with panoramic radiography were compared. In the panoramic view, the apex of the single-rooted teeth, the distal root of the multi-rooted teeth except the wisdom teeth, and the distal alveolar ridge were marked and compared.…”

Forensic odontology is the unit of dentistry that deals with legal issues. Comparative identification today is based on the comparison of antemortem and post-mortem images of the deceased. The uniqueness of the structures in the oral and paraoral region and their resistance to environmental effects allow comparative identification. Comparative identification is done in 3 stages. These stages are antemortem data collection, postmortem data collection and comparison of these data. Among these data, the most valuable ones are the radiographic records closest to the time of death. For identification, digital radiographs are generally preferred to analog radiographs due to their ease of use and archiving. Although most of the radiography techniques are important in identification, the most commonly used radiography techniques are periapical, bitewing, cephalometric, wrist radiographs, occlusal, panoramic, waters and three-dimensional imaging methods.
