Dental Radiographic/Digital Radiography Technology along with Biological Agents in Human Identification

Figure 3

Dental reconstructions for identification applications are illustrated (left). A panoramic reconstruction with maximum intensity projection is represented including root canal fillings, metallic crowns, bridges, and missing teeth [158]. Volume rendering technique reconstruction of a mandible, with colored dental structures corresponding to metal crowns (a) (reprinted with permission, BIR) [69]. This fixation system has been created for PM DPR merging. Both tall and short bodies can be fixed reliably by adjusting the upright and the holding arms. Using chin rest is recommended for perfectly positioning the head (b) (reprinted with permission, Springer Nature) [75]. Panoramic radiograph with suitable annotations (commonly observed dental pattern) (c) (reprinted with permission, Wolters Kluwer-Medknow) [73]. This traced PA skull radiograph represents the borders of sinus and metric variables. The red and yellow arrows point to the scalloped arcade and the partial sinus line, respectively. Point A to B indicates the maximum width of the frontal sinus. The baseline to point C indicates the maximum height of the frontal sinus (d) (reprinted with permission, I.O.F.O.S.) [78]. 3D superimposition: the PM surface is superimposed on the AM surface (e) (reprinted with permission, Taylor & Francis Group) [15].
