Abstract
Denture marking is a vital tool in forensic odontology and clinical practice, aiding in the identification of dental prostheses, especially in disaster victim identification and cases where traditional methods fail. Techniques are categorized into surface methods like engraving and laser etching, and inclusion methods such as embedding RFID tags or barcodes. These markers provide reliable identification, assist in recovering lost prostheses, and can be implemented at low cost in routine dental practice. Advancements like RFID technology have made denture marking more efficient and reliable. Overall, denture marking enhances patient safety, reduces redundancy, and holds significant medico-legal value.
