Barcodes in Naming Basic Denture for Forensic Identification Needs

Abstract

Background: discipline within Forensic odontology is a part of the science of forensic medicine which
recently demonstrated its role in the identification of victims, often confronted with various obstacles, to
slow down the investigation of the identity of the victim. There are obstacles in the identification process,
partly due to the incomplete identification data that can be collected, so that the identification of the remains
becomes difficult and requires a long time to be confirmed despite obtaining good professional management
in the identification process. The American Board of Forensic Odontology shows that most identification
uses teeth based on restorations, caries, missing teeth and / or prosthetic devices such as removable dentures
of the victim. The necessity of naming the removable denture as the data themselves are attached to the
patient can facilitate the identification of Purpose: Knowing how to manufacture and benefits of identity
with a barcode on the denture in the easy identification of individual Methods: this research was preexperiment with only posttest design. By using 10 Full Denture samples, the sample collection was obtained
from the Lemeshow Formula. The ten research samples were taken by simple random sampling. Conclusion
barcode contain identity data embedded in the denture base can be used as labeling on denture users because
of their role in knowing the identity of individuals , and hacyl of reading barcodes are not influenced by the
length of the base submerged .
