Various forensic odontology techniques help in the identification of the human remains in incidents such as terrorists\u2019 attacks, airplane, train and road accidents, fires, mass murders, and natural disasters such as tsunamis, earth quakes and floods, etc. (Disaster Victim Identification-DVI). Dental structures are the hardest and well protected structures in the body. These structures resist decomposition and high temperatures and are among the last ones to disintegrate after death. The principal basis of the dental identification lies in the fact that no two oral cavities are alike and the teeth are unique to an individual. The dental evidence of the deceased recovered from the scene of crime\/occurrence is compared with the ante-mortem records for identification. Dental features such as tooth morphology, variations in shape and size, restorations, pathologies, missing tooth, wear patterns, crowding of the teeth, colour and position of the tooth, rotations and other peculiar dental anomalies give every individual a unique identity. In absence of ante-mortem dental records for comparison, the teeth can help in the determination of age, sex, race\/ethnicity, habits, occupations, etc. which can give further clues regarding the identity of the individuals. This piece of writing gives an overview of dental evidence, its use in forensic identification and its limitations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2174\/1874210601509010250","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,19]],"date-time":"2015-08-19T06:41:57Z","timestamp":1439966517000},"page":"250-256","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":165,"title":["Dental Evidence in Forensic Identification \u2013 An Overview, Methodology and Present Status"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Kewal","family":"Krishan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tanuj","family":"Kanchan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arun K","family":"Garg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"refR1","unstructured":"Goldman AD. \n                    \n                    The scope of forensic dentistry In: Cottone JA, Standish SM, Eds. \n                    Outline of Forensic Dentistry.  \n                    Chicago: Yearbook Medical Publishers 1982; pp. \n                    \n                    \n                    15-9."},{"key":"refR2","unstructured":"Krogman WM, Iscan MY. \n                    The human skeleton in forensic medicine.  2nd ed. \n                    Springfield, Illinois: Charles Thomas Publisher 1986; pp. \n                    \n                    \n                    \n                    189-243."},{"key":"refR3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"269","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bdj.2011.199","volume":"210","author":"Hinchliffe J.","year":"2011","unstructured":"Hinchliffe J. \n                    Forensic odontology, part 2.
