ABSTRACT:Personal identification in natural and manmade disasters can be made by using methods like DNA analysis, finger prints, carbon 14 enamel dating, rugoscopy, cheiloscopy, skull shape and size, dental structure chart and various denture labelling methods. Denture labelling systems have great significance in identifying people who have lost their memory or in state of unconsciousness or in identifying the human remains in natural calamity, disasters, accidents etc. A number of labelling systems are available and are broadly classified into either surface marking methods or inclusion methods. This article describes a unique method of labelling dentures using lead foil, linked with Aadhaar ID card (Unique Identification Number).
