Sažetak
The task of determining the identity of human beings that lost their lives not due to a physical death but due to a mass disaster or a catastrophe caused by human beings such as a war, is a well-known fact in the last decades. Dental structures can be useful for the identification of human cadavers as they are the hardest and most resilient structures of the body. The tragic incident of the 11th of September 2001 has introduced a period in which bioterrorism has a new definition. The aim of the following review is to present the importance of forensic dentistry and its methods of human identification in cases of mass disasters.
