Dental identification systems (DISs) encompass various techniques used for forensic identification, serving as alternatives or complements to genetic methods. Technologies such as microchip implants, prosthetic inscriptions, microSD cards, and identification plaques have been proposed to address limitations in comparative methods, offering streamlined processes for forensic experts. This study reviews current and potential DIS implementations, emphasizing cost-effectiveness and community benefits. Literature analysis from PubMed (2008-2024) yielded 17 relevant articles on implantable DISs, enabling direct subject identification via teeth or prostheses. The integration of DIS aims to enhance accuracy and speed in personal profiling and legal identification, promoting technology transfer in dentistry. It will be necessary to develop strict privacy regulations to protect patient data and establish ethical guidelines for their use. The study's aim is to highlight that the universal adoption of DISs could mitigate healthcare disputes and facilitate data exchange in clinical settings, which is particularly beneficial for vulnerable populations.
