19. Click on “WinID3” to open program

20. WinID3 Main Window The main screen of WinID3 is simple. It contains a File Bar at the top. A Button Bar on the left side. An Antemortem* and Postmortem Window representing a record in each of the respective databases. * If you create a new database, a dummy record will be created for both the AM and PM database.

21. GoTo Button The GoTo Button allows the user to easily access any antemortem or postmortem record in the database currently displayed. Either scroll down the names or numbers, then double click on the record you want to bring it to the main screen. Or…… In large databases, type the first letter of a name or number and the list will scroll to that point. Then double click to bring it to the main screen.

22. Ante and Post Buttons Clicking either the Ante or Post buttons on the Button Bar will cause the antemortem or postmortem record to become the active record on the screen. The other records will remain on the desktop, but will be inactive. If no record is on the screen, clicking either Ante or Post button will bring the first record in that database to the screen. Postmortem is currently active on this screen.

23. Add New Button Clicking on the New Record Button will bring up a small menu with a choice of creating either an Antemortem or Postmortem Record. Click on the type of new record you wish to create. Now the record will be active on the WinID3 Main Window.

24. Add New Button After clicking on either a new Postmortem or Antemortem record, the window below opens. Enter the next succession number for Postmortem starting with P001, or a name or number for the Antemortem record being generated. Antemortem numbers start with A001. Then enter the name of person entering the record. Only 12 spaces are available for the Unique #, so if entering a name, abbreviations may be necessary. 26 spaces are available for the name of the person entering the record

25. Delete Record The Delete Record Button will permanently delete the active antemortem or postmortem record. A prompt will appear after clicking this button to be certain you wish to delete the record. To delete, click the OK Button.

26. Grid Button The Grid Button will display the active database in a chart format for either antemortem or postmortem records, depending on which record is active on the screen. The chart displays all data that is present in the database. It is used infrequently and is considered an advanced WInID3 function and not routinely used. It has an advanced filter capability so the database can be filtered and only those records meeting the filter criteria will be displayed.

27. Status Button Clicking the Status Button will bring up the status report screen that shows information concerning the status of the two databases, the Antemortem and Postmortem. Do not attempt to use the View or Print reports area unless you have Access 2000 in the proper location.

28. Persist O&G Button The Persist O&G Button will create two small windows, a graphic and an odontogram window for the current active record. This allows any AM or PM record to remain visible while scrolling through the AM or PM databases. Often used when searching for potential matches. Close either window by clicking on the in the upper right corner.

29. List Tool Button The List Tool Button will bring to the screen a small window shown below. While scrolling through a database attempting a match you can click “Add” on the window and this will save the window that is currently displayed on the screen. It displays both the Antemortem and Postmortem window. You can then review the saved pairs or print the list to use as a guide in comparison. I find it somewhat confusing and rarely use this function.

30. Best Match Button The Best Match Button accomplishes one of the most important functions of WInID3. This button is used when the odontologist wishes to compare a single record to a database. Routinely, a postmortem record will be brought to the screen by the GoTo Button and then compared against all the antemortem database records by clicking on the Best Match Button. The Best match will compare the dental surface descriptors and the physical identifiers and display the most likely match in a series of prioritized lists.

31. Best Match Button Future training modules will give a more detailed explanation of the use of the Best Match Button, since this is a vital function and the basis for the use of WinID3 in disaster identification protocols. For now lets view screen generated when attempting a Best Match comparison. Use the GoTo Button and bring up postmortem record #110.

32. Best Match Screen You should now see a screen as pictured. Note the list of names at the bottom right. This is where you will most often focus your attention in the comparison process. The list is of the AM records that have the most restoration matches between the postmortem record and the antemortem database, with the records with the most matches listed first. You highlight the record by clicking on the name. Do that to “Allison”.

33. Best Match Screen You now have “Allison” highlighted. Now click on the comparison button.

34. Comparison Screen - Graphics You now see the graphic comparison screen. It is displaying and comparing the antemortem record “Allison” to the postmortem record #110. The graphic window is the default window, but you can click on either the Dental or Identifier tab to view those windows. Click on the Dental Tab now.

35. Comparison Screen - Dental The dental comparison screen shows the written charting and the odontogram of the two compared records. The areas of concordance on the dental chart are highlighted in green for ease of viewing. On both windows, if the record displayed in not a likely match and you wish to see the next record, click on the “Next Record” button.

36. Print Button The Print Button when clicked, will bring up a composite of the active antemortem or postmortem record. This is useful for transmitting or storing the database data in a non-digital format. Click Print Button to print the composite data record.

37. NCIC 2000 The NCIC 2000 button will not be used in DMORT dental identification protocols. Clicking this button will generate an NCIC Missing Person or Unidentified Person dental report. The FBI has not as yet adopted WinID3 format for dental data entry, but should they reconsider, WinID3 will be capable of generating a NCIC format report

38. Exit Button Clicking the Exit Button will exit the operator from WinID3 and save the additions and changes made to the database since the last save or the last time this particular database was opened. If you wish to preserve the original database without any changes, go to the File Menu and use the “Save Database As” command and save the newly changed database under a different name. See Slide 7-9 of this module to review the “Save Database As” command.

46. WinID Coding Leave blank if not sure Only primary codes used for sorting Secondary codes for additional info Use comments

47. Junk In Junk Out JIJO

48. WinID Coding In WinID coding the restored surfaces of a tooth are coded. The restorations are not coded. A tooth restored with MO and DO fillings would be coded MOD and not MODO.

49. Primary Codes M - mesial surface of tooth is restored. O - occlusal surface of posterior tooth is restored. D - distal surface of tooth is restored. F - facial surface of tooth is restored. L - lingual surface of tooth is restored. I - incisal edge of anterior tooth is restored.

50. Primary Codes U - tooth is unerupted V - non-restored tooth – virgin X - tooth is missing - extracted J - tooth is missing postmortem or the clinical crown of the tooth is not present for examination. Also used for avulsed tooth. The root or an open socket is present, but no other information is available. / - no information about tooth is available.

51. Secondary Codes A - Annotation - An unusual finding is associated with this tooth. Specifics of the finding are detailed in the comments section. B - tooth is deciduous C - tooth is fitted with a crown. All surfaces are restored. Primary code “MODFL” is in place E - resin filling material.

52. Secondary Codes G - gold restoration. H - porcelain. N - non-precious filling or crown material. Includes stainless steel. P - pontic. Used only when tooth has been marked as missing with “X” primary code.

53. Secondary Codes R - root canal filled. S - silver amalgam. T - denture tooth. Used only when tooth has been marked as missing with “X” primary code. Z - temporary filling material. Also indicates gross caries (used sparingly).

54. Antemortem Dental Coding At the start of data entry for a new record all dental fields are marked / by default, this means no info. All 3rd molars are / unless seen on radiographs. Code as V or U or X from radiographs.

55. Antemortem Dental Coding All anterior interproximal restorations are either M or D, do not code as ML or DF unless restoration is extensive. Posterior amalgams - when coding from radiographs: do not code suspected F or L extensions or pits unless confirmed in written record

56. Dental Coding Chart from radiographs, use written records to clarify. Logic is less AnteMortem features to more PostMortem features.

57. Dental Coding J code used very sparingly: missing crown, extensive fracture, MPM. Crown restorative material ignored unless in written chart Any use of A must be accompanied by notation in the comments.

58. Dental Coding - Comments Standard codes allow comments field searches. Press button to see list of standard codes Include tooth numbers in comments to facilitate searching. The comments field is the institutional memory

88. Adding Records to a Database Each time a new database is created, a postmortem and antemortem “dummy” record is created. Do not delete these records until you have entered at least one antemortem and postmortem record. Now let’s review what data must be entered for either a postmortem or antemortem record.

89. New Record Command To add a new record to an existing database, or to begin adding records to a new database, you click on the “Add New” Button. A drop down menu will appear, click on either postmortem or antemortem depending on which record you wish to enter.

90. Entering Data After clicking “Ok” the following screen will appear. The ID entered will appear in the first entry box on this screen.

91. NCIC # The NCIC 3 will not be utilized in a DMORT deployment. It pertains to the use of the WinID3 database for missing or unidentified persons. AM & PM

92. Entering Data – Originating # Now that we have entered the unique ID # (P001), we need to consider entering further postmortem data. The next areas to consider are “Originating Agency “ and “Originating agency #”. Both are normally left blank, unless working with an agency in conjunction with a medical examiner or coroner such as the FBI, and they have a unique tracking number. AM & PM

93. Body Parts Not Recovered To enter body parts not recovered, click on the small triangle at the end of the entry box. Then click on the part not recovered. If multiple parts are not recovered, hold down the Ctrl Key and click the parts not recovered in the list on the right. When finished press the Tab Key. This data entry may not be utilized in incidents with fragmented remains. PM Only

94. Post Mortem Condition The Post Mortem Condition data box is used to describe the condition of the remains at the dental postmortem examination. After clicking on the data entry box, you can either enter you own description or you can by click on one of the descriptions on the list. PM Only

95. User Designated Fields User designated fields will not be used for DMORT WinID3 data entry. They are user determined optional data fields. PM & AM

96. Dental Data Entry The entry screen also has a rapid entry area for individuals with dentures, all missing teeth or all virgin teeth. If your record has these specific conditions you may use these “shortcuts” to save time and ensure an accurate entry PM & AM

97. Dental Data Entry When you click on the box #1, an Enter Dental box opens and displays the dental entry screen. A small rectangle on the left side of the Enter Dental box is highlighted. In the center is a series of boxes with letters that represents dental conditions and tooth surfaces. To enter data, click on the appropriate lettered box or type the entry in the highlighted rectangle. PM & AM

98. Dental Data Entry To aid the entry of data, a list of Primary and Secondary codes is displayed on the right of the Enter Dental screen. The primary and secondary codes shown are the only codes that will be accepted by WinID3. To enter an MOD amalgam on tooth #3, you may either type in “MODS” or click on the M, O, D, square and then type an “S”. PM & AM

99. Dental Data Entry Notice the format is SMOD in the entry box. Confirm that this is the correct designator, and if you need to enter further descriptors click “Next Tooth”. If you are only editing one tooth or are finished entry, click “OK”. To cancel, click cancel. If you click “Next Tooth”, you will see a new screen to enter data for the next tooth in numerical sequence. PM & AM

100. Dental Data Entry When you click “OK” at the end of the entry of data, the original screen appears. Note the “SMOD” is now in the correct format “MOD S’ and the odontogram is appropriately filled out and labeled with an “S” for amalgam. Now click on any other tooth number and enter a sequence of restorations or conditions to practice. PM & AM

101. Data – Entry Comments WinID3 standard codes as you can see do not cover all possible treatment options that may be present in a dental examination or “translation” of a dental chart. To accommodate the “other” category of treatment and pathology options, one has the ability to enter a Comment for each individual tooth. Comments are to be used sparingly. Standard comments are available; however, any type of comment can be entered.

102. Data – Entry Comments This is the Standard Comments Screen that appears when you click YES. Enter a single or multiple comment by clicking on the box to the right of the comment. Only standard comments should be entered, unless approval for non- standard comments has been granted by either the AM or PM Section Leader. To enter date of x-rays click the box and enter a date.

103. Data – Entry Comments When you click Ok at the bottom of the Standard Code Box it will automatically enter the tooth number and code in Comment Section. The comment section can be viewed by clicking on the Comments Tab. PM & AM

106. Summary The WinID Codes provide a standardized way to record dental information. Information that can not be readily coded is explained in the comments section of each record.

145. IDENTIFICATION

146. Comparison IDs from comparison of radiographs Written records always suspect Closed population May only have supportive dental information Other methods of ID if not dental positive –Anthropology - Pathology - Fingerprints

147. Comparison ABFO Guidelines for body identification –Possible Identification: The antemortem and postmortem data have consistent features, but, due to the quality of either the postmortem remains or the antemortem evidence, it is not possible to positively establish dental identification.

148. Comparison ABFO Guidelines for body identification –Positive Identification: The antemortem and postmortem data match in sufficient detail to establish that they are from the same individual. In addition, there are no irreconcilable discrepancies.

149. Comparison ABFO Guidelines for body identification - continued –Insufficient Evidence: The available information is insufficient to form the basis for a conclusion.

150. Comparison ABFO Guidelines for body identification - continued –Exclusion: The antemortem and postmortem data are clearly inconsistent. However, it should be understood that identification by exclusion is a valid technique in certain circumstances.

151. Use WinID to Aid IDs Two methods –Best Match –Persist Odontogram and Graphic, then Filter on specific Restorations

152. Best Match Search With the specific postmortem record that you wish to compare to the antemortem database selected, in this case record #103, all that is needed to begin the search is to click on the Best Match Button on the tool bar on the left of the screen. Doing this will open a new window called the “Best Matches to Post Record #103”.

153. Best Match 4 ranked lists –Most dental hits –Least dental mismatches –Most dental restoration hits –Most identifier hits Double-click record from list to display comparison screen

154. Best Match Search Window

155. Best Match Search As you see from the previous slide, there are four search lists open in the window. They are : Most Dental Hits Least Dental Mis- Matches Most Identifier Matches Most Restoration Hits

156. Best Match Search Window When you attempt a comparison such as PM #103 with the “Donaldson record”, you will now see this screen.

157. Dental Comparison Window The Comparison window opens, and displays the Dental Descriptor comparison of the postmortem record #103 and the antemortem record of Donaldson. When the dental descriptors of a specific tooth are identical (match) the tooth number is highlighted in green. This allows the odontologist to make an immediate assessment of the number of matches present. Other data such as sex age and race are shown to immediately consider the validity of the match

158. Radiograph Window Now click on the “Graphics Tab” and the radiographic comparison window will be displayed. This window displays the dental radiographs of the AM and PM record that is being compared. You may print this page for a hard copy

159. Radiographic Comparison Most odontologists are visually oriented, so the graphic display is the primary means of determining the concordance between an AM and PM record. We all know that two MO restorations are identical in charting, but are completely different when viewed by a radiograph. Therefore his view will be the primary comparison screen.

160. Radiographic Comparison On the previous screen, the AM record is on top and the PM record below. The size of the radiographic image is determined by the Zoom control above each of the images. To zoom, left click anywhere on the zoom bar. Clicking on the right of the zoom bar will increase the image size one increment, and clicking on the left of the bar will decrease the image size one increment. You may also zoom the image larger by holding down the control key and clicking anywhere on the radiograph with the right or left mouse button.

161. Dental Comparison Window In our comparison of PM record #103 and the AM record of Donaldson, we can see that the radiographs have sufficient concordance to be considered a positive dental identification. To document this you may print this page showing the graphic comparison. A printed record of the dental descriptor com- parison may also be printed.

162. WinID Matching Matching: antemortem to postmortem Hit – an exact match of primary codes –X = X Mismatch – an impossibility –MOD = V Possible – a conceivable progression of dental treatment –O = MO, O = C, O=X

163. Persist and Filter on Restoration Move to a record of interest Use Persist O+G to display Odontogram and Graphic Filter in records opposing screen by a specific restoration –Ante to Post- Post to Ante Scroll through records to find match –Look at Odontogram or Graphic

164. Filter Function in WinID Use to limit records available for view Limits records in Best Match Can filter on  Restorations  Disposition  Age  User defined filter string  Race  Sex  Height  Comments

165. Search Strategies Missing teeth, Perio 3 rd molars, Impacted, Unerupted, Restored Root canals, Posts Crowns, Gold, Porcelain Implants, Pins Pedo, Retained primary teeth Pattern of restorations in quadrant Ortho, missing bicuspids
