Denture markers: A comparison

Abstract

Denture markers have played an indispensable role in forensic odontology and in the identification of hospitalized patients/inmates of community centers. Surface inscription and inclusion markers have been used through the years with their own advantages and limitations. Barcodes routinely used for commercial purposes generally hold data in a single dimension. A two-dimensional (2D) barcode can hold loads of information as it holds the data in length and width. A simple technique using barcode as a denture marker is described.
