dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Forensic odontology is an important and evolving branch. It has been established for critical issues like medi- colegal cases and identification of a dead person. Radiographic assisted documentation will provide objective information including the precise recording of the uniqueness of every individual where it has been used extensively in dental identification based on anatomy and by comparing maxillofacial skeletal landmarks in antemortem and post mortem records. Main body: Human Identification is mainly based on a dead body decomposition state. More likely of missing persons and the identification of individuals in conditions like criminal investigations and mass disasters. Odontological method for human identification is used commonly as it is simple by comparing with other methods, but complex in execution and requires skills and expertise. There are so many radiological techniques for forensic purposes like Computer tomography, cone-beam com- puter tomography, Orthopantomogram, 3D facial reconstruction, Radiovisiography, and Virtopsy. Objectives: This review highlights the different radiographic techniques and procedures and its application in forensic odon- tology. Source search criteria: Data were obtained and analyzed from previously published literature and electronic database search- es of relevant published literature from PubMed and Google Scholarfrom the 2001 to 2021 year. Conclusion: Imaging technologies and radiographs have become a vital component of modern medical practice and foren- sic odontology. The application of any of the mentioned techniques depends on the availability of previous images, data, or skeletal findings for Identification. So forensic radiology has a potential for crime-solving and is useful in conventional dental identification based on anatomy and by comparing maxillofacial skeletal landmarks in antemortem and post-mortem records, as they have become a crucial part of dental practice as well as in forensic odontology for diagnosis of disease, treatment plan- ning, identification of tooth structures, and age estimation.en_US
