“…Radiogrami zuba najčešći su izvor prijesmrtnih (antemortem -AM) podataka potrebnih za identifikaciju ljudi (6). Naime, ti se podatci mogu usporediti s poslijesmrtnima (postmortem -PM) (7,8). Usporedna identifikacija ljudskih tijela obično se temelji na forenzičnim dokazima, poput obavljenih terapija zuba i jedinstvene morfologije (5).…”

SažetakSvrha rada: Željelo se izvijestiti o uspješnoj identifikaciji humanih ostataka na osnovi usporedbe arhivskih, dakle prijesmrtnih (AM) podataka i poslijesmrtnih (PM) endodontskih radiograma. Zbog toga je u tekstu istaknuto koliko je važno spremiti i čuvati dokumente u kliničkim arhivima. Prikaz slučaja: Nakon prometne nesreće dovezeno je neidentificirano tijelo. Odmah je obavljeno forenzično ispitivanje kako bi se ustanovio identitet stradale osobe. Kako u nacionalnoj bazi podataka nije bilo otisaka prstiju, u potrazi za prijesmrtnom (AM) dokumentacijom korišteni su radiogrami privatnih klinika dentalne medicine. Na kraju je poginula osoba identificirana na temelju analize obavljenih endodontskih

Endodontics is a special branch of dentistry constantly guided by imaging examinations. From a forensic scope, endodontics plays a valuable role providing solid antemortem (AM) radiographic evidence for comparison with postmortem findings in human identifications. This study illustrates the interface between endodontics and forensic odontology describing three cases of human identification based on radiographic endodontic records. From 2009 to 2012, three unknown male victims of murder were examined in a local Brazilian medico-legal institute to retrieve identity and potential cause of death. Specifically, when asked for AM data, a relative of the three victims provided periapical radiographs of endodontic treatments. Based on that, forensic dentists reproduced the same imaging acquisition techniques obtaining similar periapical radiographs, enabling a comparative dental identification. All the victims were positively identified based on patterns of dental morphology and treatment intervention. This study draws the attention of general and forensic dentists highlight the importance of properly recording dental treatments and searching for evidence in AM endodontic data, respectively.

Forensic experts may face challenging situations in the routine of human identifications, such as the lack of antemortem (AM) data; and cadaveric alterations, such as charred, mutilated and decomposed bodies, as well as skeletal remains. In this context, alternative pathways for human identification must be taken following scientific criteria. The present study reports a case of human identification combining the analysis of smile photographs and forensic anthropology exams. Skeletal remains of were referred for human identification in the local medico-legal institute. The anthropological profile of the victim, containing age, sex, stature and ancestry information pointed out a potential victim from a police list of missing persons. Relatives of the victims did not provide AM data; except for a single smile photograph form the victim's personal belongings. Dental autopsy, previously guided by anthropological exams, culminated in positive identification. Similar to all the other pathways for human identification, the analysis of smile photographs presents advantages and limitations. However, when combined to other methods, such as forensic anthropology, smile photographs trend the reveal greater application.
