Abstract

Dental crowns are one of the most important objects used as evidence in forensic dentistry. Today's technical breakthroughs make it much easier to locate a victim or a missing person. Here, forensic issues and evidence finding were taken into mind. This study can thus reaffirm the necessity of a planned and deliberate approach to the preservation of dental records since they serve as trustworthy identity proof. Dental crowns are available in a wide range of materials and styles, including gold, porcelain fused metal, titanium, ceramic-metal, metallic, all-metal, all-porcelain, zirconia, and e-max.
