ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for identification of persons using dental data is disclosed. A unique but simple bite wafer is inserted between the lower and upper jaws of a person and biting pressure is exerted on the wafer. The registrations made on the bite wafer are geometrically evaluated. The geometric data is permanently recorded for future use when identifications and/or comparisons are to be made. The recorded data is different for each person which enables the identification and comparisons.
