Dr. Souviron was instrumental,
along with Dr. Bill Silver and Dr. Bruce Greenstein, in founding and
implementing the dental components of the Miami Dade County Mass Disaster
Team.
The services of this dental team include categorizing and analyzing human
remains for purposes of identification in mass disasters, the collection and
computerization of ante-mortem dental records and the computerization
and documentation of post- mortem dental records along with the
analysis of the data in formulating a positive dental identification.
The process used for Mass Disaster Identification is not routinely
implemented. However, in cases of mass disaster, team work, knowledge of the
subject, speed and accuracy is of utmost importance. Having 35 years
experience with dental identifications, handling the dental portion of mass
disasters identification was done in Eastern Airlines flight 401, Valujet
flight 592, Fine Air flight 101 and other mishaps such as helicopter
crashes, fires and multiple deaths from boat accidents are all part of Dr.
Souviron’s expertise.
