Abstract: Critical situations demand an easy and swift identification of those affected. Dentures present in the oral cavity survive in catastrophic situations that the extremities are unable to. Use of denture markers is a very utilitarian means of identifying dentures as well as their users. With the advent of the digital era, the conventional modes of denture labelling, such as engraving, stainless-steel bands, photographs, and lenticular cards, fall short of the mark and no longer suffice. Near field communication is an upcoming wireless, digital, contactless, and economical alternative with lots of potential. It is an offset of the well-known Radio Frequency Identification technology, but with fewer hassles. This case report presents the usage of NFC tags as denture markers within patients' dentures and a six-month follow-up of their performance intraorally.
