Study notes
After a plane crash, how do dental teams identify victims? DVI protocol: antemortem teams gather dental records/X-rays from families' dentists, postmortem teams chart the deceased's teeth, reconciliation experts match them - the Interpol forms standardize worldwide. Students learn disaster dentistry's organization: identification is teamwork under protocol, not heroics - and the meticulous antemortem record (kept by every dentist) is what makes matching possible.
