FORENSIC DENTAL IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUES:We can likely obtain a good investigation when we have a copy of both	Comparison of Antemortem and Postmortem Record
FORENSIC DENTAL IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUES:The stability of the ________ allows the process of antemortem and postmortem comparison	human dentition
The antemortem and postmortem data match in sufficient detail to establish that they are from the same individual. In addition, there are no irreconcilable discrepancies.	Positive identification
The antemortem and postmortem data have consistent features, but, due to the quality of either the postmortem remains or the antemortem evidence, it is not possible to positively establish dental identification.	Possible identification
The available information is insufficient to form the basis for a conclusion.	Insufficient evidence
The antemortem and postmortem data are clearly inconsistent. However, it should be understood that identification by exclusion is a valid technique in certain circumstances.	Exclusion
made most often by the investigating agencies. This is often based on circumstantial evidence and can assist in the accumulation of medical/dental records to be used in the scientific identification process. The location of the unidentified body may provide useful clues. If a decedent is found in a residence, one can establish a putative identification	Presumptive Identification
