Maxillofacial radiographic systems of identification are classified as reconstructive and comparative. The reconstructive systems aim to determine age, sex, and race from unknown remains. The comparative methods make use of an ante mortem radiographic record of the victim and comparisons are made with the post mortem radiographs of the remains. The paper discusses use of maxillofacial radiology in forensic identification.
