title: [The dentist on the DVI team--interdisciplinary philosophy of the Interpol DVI team].
abstract: Recent experiences from mass disasters have shown that a structured and uniform methodology is the only good way to come to quick and correct results in disaster victim identification. It is therefore mandatory that everyone included in such operations is not only conscious of the procedures, but also willing to apply them. This can only be achieved by providing adequate information and training to all personnel involved, tactical and technical. It seems thus not unreasonable that in the future, DVI Interpol would only be willing to work with accredited personnel and DVI teams, in order to optimize the results of disaster victim identification operations.
