Background: In this world of simulation and impersonation, the identity of a given individual is always questionable. Many events that take place in the human journey between the Womb to the Tomb, may result in human destruction, by natural disasters like earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruptions or a manmade disaster like plane crashes, train accidents and terrorist attacks, etc. In almost every disaster there is an urgent and pressing need to identify the victims on behalf of the next of kin. The various identification methods employed in forensic sciences include bite marks, radiographs, photographs etc. However in this era of biometrics, digital imaging technology, the future of investigation lies more in the comparative data/techniques like DNA profiling, fingerprints, odontometrics, Cheiloscopy, Rugoscopy etc.
