Quantifying and comparing the radiopacity of five bulk fill composites in digital dental radiographs – a contribution to human identification

Conclusion: Most of the bulk fill composites addressed in this study were distinguishable from each other based on their radiopacity. The identification of type and even brand of composites may be a promising task in human identification. However, this procedure remains challenging and the scientific evidence behind it is still scarce in the forensic literature.
