Dental arch occlusal surface print recording pallet and process of using the same

摘要

A print pallet composed of a dental tray holding a filler pad of thermoplastic material can be warmed to plasticize such material and inserted into the mouth of a person to be identified to be stamped by the occlusal surfaces of that person's dental arch to imprint a print of such arch occlusal surfaces on the pad. Such print record can be preserved or recorded by various media for later comparison to establish the identity of the person when deceased or incapacitated.
