Abstract

The aim of this research was to help in the identification of individuals for medico-legal purposes by introducing an identification method in a dental prosthesis. For this purpose this research compares two different systems: a T microchip transponder and a QR code. The QR code was printed in three different materials: paper, aluminium-titanium and chrome-cobalt plaques. All of the materials were analysed respecting the possible location, the response to the action of temperature and the efficiency of the reading method. The tests performed allowed to identify differences between methods. The chrome-cobalt plaque was the one that presented better mechanical properties when subjected to the action of temperature.
