Dental identification involves compiling a prescribed dental chart of a deceased person’s oral findings which is then compared with antemortem dental information. However, this process is complicated, and a comparison can be difficult. In this study, the authors evaluated whether it is possible to identify images from antemortem dental information images using an image comparison program (AKAZE) with one-sided cross-sectional images generated from the STL (Standard Triangle Language) data of upper and lower jaw models acquired with an intraoral scanner. From the STL data of 20 patients, 120 cross-sectional images were generated by three practitioners and compared with the cross-sectional images of 20 patients generated later, and the degree of agreement calculated by AKAZE was analyzed. Statistically significant differences were found between images of the same and different models, and statistically significant differences were obtained when comparing one-sided images with limited information, suggesting that partial dentition information can be used to identify the same dentition.
