Abstract

H.I. (Human Identification) system is a dramatic new system for identifying individuals (and objects) . This system which will become a new“added value”in the dentistry field, offers great conveniences to individuals, as well as to the nation and the international economy.
H.I. system offers necessary informations for personal identification and emergency medical treatments at the 24 hr-stand-by information center with the presentation of the code number entered by computer manipulated laser beam on to the 20-30μ thick, 2 mm wide, stainless-steel or titanium made wafer adhered onto the tooth.
This wafer can be adhered without anesthesia or tooth erasing, by the use of special, painted on with a brush in a simple five minute operation.
This wafer lasts a lifetime, and even longer; for instance, providing facts to prove the deceased's ideas on internal organ transplantation, or his will. It is clear that this system will play a great part in ensuring a safe and advanced society.
For the dentistry world, the H.I. wafer will produce a totally new demand for its adhesion and management, and at the same time augmenting the social role played by dentists.
I have made a brief report on the H.I. system with the conviction that dentists are on their way to playing a larger role in providing safer and sounder everyday life.
