• Fingerprinting — The act of imprinting and its result; the technical and judicial operation of taking capillary fingerprints from a person or the industrial process of marking a texture on a material support through pressing. In a criminal procedural sense, it represents a mandatory structural biometric identification stage included in the dactyloscopic file.
• Amprentology — A specialized branch of forensics that deals with the scientific study, classification, collection, and comparison of macroscopic and microscopic traces left by papillary ridges, feet, teeth, or other anatomical areas of the human body, as well as by various objects; this field unites dactyloscopy, poroscopy, and podoscopy into an integrated methodological framework for personal identification.
