Forensic identification using the dental characteristics is one of the most powerful scientific methods of iden tification. Since dental identification is performed by comparing the dental characteristics between antemortem and postmortem data, success or failure is determined according to the quality and quantity of antemortem data. Antemortem data is ultimately produced and managed by clinicians, therefore, clinician is also one of the im portant factors for successful identification. In this study, the types of antemortem data which is used for dental identification and methods to improve the quality of antemortem data, were reviewed. And suggestions were given to clinicians for increasing the success rate of identification. It is expected that through this mutual com munication between forensic odontologists and clinicians, the identification rate of missing persons in Korea can be improved.
