A Comparison of Victim Identification Effectiveness between Digital and Analogue Dental Antemortem Data as Humanitarian Operation.

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of victim identification between the use of digital antemortem data with integrated information system Quick Response Code and the use of analogue antemortem data with conventional systems as humanitarian operation. This research used mixed method embedded explanatory sequential design. The Quantitative primary data were obtained using the PIECES approach from 80 respondents with a Likert scale questionnaire and followed by qualitative primary data collection by in-depth interviews with 8 informants who were determined by purposive sampling and observation. The procedure for testing digital antemortem data with an information system design and analog data with conventional systems was carried out on 120 antemortem data. Each data consisted of 4 types, namely odontograms, panoramic photos, digital photos of faces and dental prints. Participants had given better answers by 55,38% with a value of 3.52. The results of test antemortem data on the type of odontograms (96,6%) and rugae palatine (83,3%) data types show higher accuracy than digital photo record of faces (72,5%) and X-rays foto (71,7%). The victim identification process requires digital data form and an information system to increase its effectiveness. The comparison between digital and analog data shows that the digital dental data antemortem type and using an information system had been successfull and more effective than analogue type using conventional system.
