Japanese Dentists Unveil the Fast Dental ID System

Japanese Scientists have come up with a new device that would help, by vastly speeding up the identification from the dental records, of victims of trauma and other disasters. How it works is like this: The computerized device will scan images of victim’s teeth and align them with pictures from unidentified people’s dental records and look for a match. This new system will help speed up the process of identification by automatically comparing the image of the victim’s teeth with other dental records that exist and offer a match in less than four seconds.
Dr. Eiko Kosuge, who is a dentist and radiologist at Kanagawa Dental College in Japan, led the study. This system will help reduce the workload of the forensic experts by 95%.
