Abstract
The subject of the study was cases of a legal gap when it comes to the need to identify a person by signs of appearance when it changes as a result of gunshot, mine-explosive wounds and subsequent surgical interventions. The previously developed criteria classification of injuries and injuries of the maxillofacial region can serve as the basis for the legal term “significant change in appearance” following gunshot wounds. The proposed classification makes it possible to assess the severity and localization of damage caused by mine-explosive wounds and injuries. To ensure effective law enforcement activities in this area, it is necessary to develop a methodology for assessing changes in the appearance of a person due to injury and subsequent surgical intervention based on the proposed classification.
Keywords: maxillofacial area, gunshot wounds, mine-blast injury, classification, change in appearance.
