Dental image processing for person identification focuses on using digital dental X-rays or photographs to establish a person's identity. Each person has a unique dental "signature" defined by the number of teeth, their position, shape, size, and any dental work like fillings, crowns, or implants. Similar to general dental processing, initial steps involve noise reduction and image enhancement for better analysis. Extracted features are compared to a database of dental records, which could be antemortem (pre-mortem) X-rays of a missing person or postmortem X-rays of unidentified remains. Matching algorithms analyze the similarity between features. While not a foolproof method, dental image processing can provide strong evidence for identification, especially when combined with other forensic techniques like DNA analysis. Overall, dental image processing offers a promising tool for forensic identification, particularly when used alongside other methods.

Recent growth in the number of studies for automating the process of post-mortem (PM) identification of deceased individuals based on various features of teeth is remarkable. Hence, nowadays dental X-ray has played an important role in human identification. Particularly, in cases of severe accidents (Airplane crashes, 9/11 bombing, Car/Train accidents), natural disasters (Asian Tsunami, Flood, Earthquake, Volcanic eruption, Typical cyclone), etc. wherein other identification clues like fingerprint, iris, face, etc. are not available for human identification. Dental features remain less invariant over longer time period. The purpose of dental image processing is to match the post-mortem (PM) radiograph with the ante-mortem (AM) radiograph based on some features of the dental X-ray images.
