Brief summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the digital palatal model as a possible tool of human identification.

Detailed description

In this research, the investigators investigate the individual characteristics of the human upper and lower dentition and palate. The investigators use digital dentistry, record the data using an intraoral scanner, and store the extracted open source file format on a secure cloud-based server. Data validation is repeated annually. By comparing the initial and control digital samples, the investigators draw conclusions about the usability of the extracted information. The aim of the study is to develop a method and data storage protocol that will allow the patient data to be used years or decades later to replace or restore lost information.

Interventions

DEVICEIntraoral scanning and data acquisition

Intraoral scanner data acquisition, 3 scans are taken for each participant. Data will be exported from dedicated software (Planmeca, Romexis) and imported into GOM surface analysis software. Sample comparisons and sample preparation are performed here. The results are collected in excel spreadsheets and analyzed in SPSS statistical software.
