Different methods of identification of complete dentures have been described as well as the importance of its use. The QR code has recently been highlighted as a simple and effective novelty for this purpose, but its use in daily clinical practice is still poorly reported. The aim of this study was to perform a literature review regarding the use of the QR code as a system of personal identification in complete dentures. An electronic search was performed in the Pubmed database in June 2017. A specific search strategy was developed and executed, considering as inclusion criteria studies published in the last 10 years. After selecting and reading titles and abstracts, 8 studies were included in the final list. The use of the QR code in complete dentures has been described as simple, efficient and capable of storing a considerable amount of information. Some laboratory studies have tested the resistance of the QR code covered by acrylic resin against adverse conditions such as heat, chemicals and fractures, which, in general, confirmed the feasibility of using this identification alternative. It is important to point out the need for dissemination among dentistry students and patients regarding the benefits and legal importance of having a complete denture identification system.
