Role of forensic odontology and anthropology in the identification of human remains

Abstract: Forensic odontology and anthropology play an important role in the identification of humans/victims in mass disasters (accidents and earthquakes) and criminal cases (homicide, rape and suicide) even if less available human remains or samples. Forensic also helps in the identification of age, sex, stature estimation and race identification using photographs, bite marks, lip prints, palatal rugae, radiographs and dental DNA identification if antemortem records are available. Here, we review the available methods… Show more

“…Forensic anthropology studies show that cranial measurements can be used to accurately classify humans by geographic origin [34]. Based on this, the role of forensic dentistry and anthropology has been emphasized in the identification of human remains [11], and in the medical field, many attempts have been made to reveal differences between races through various measurement methods including lateral cephalogram. There was a study comparing the skull morphology of Asians and Caucasians in crouzon syndrome [35], and a study comparing craniofacial differences in skeletal malocclusion between Japanese and British Caucasians [36].…”

“…A Odontologia Forense possui diversas técnicas que podem ser utilizadas em processos de identificação, como como queiloscopia, rugoscopia palatina, e histórico de radiografias/odontograma do paciente, entre outras. Porém, com o advento de tecnologias avançadas, estão cada vez mais presentes técnicas que fazem uso de exames imaginológico, como tomografia computadorizada multislice (TC), tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC), microtomografias computadorizadas (micro CT), softwares e equipamentos sofisticados como impressoras 3D para auxiliar nos casos de identificação, facilitando assim as análises das provas existentes (Barros et al, 2022b;Gioster-Ramos et al, 2021;Jayakrishnan et al, 2021;Santos-Junior et al, 2022;Silva et al, 2015;Tavares et al, 2022).…”

“…Impossibilitados os métodos de identificação humana através de papiloscopia, o exame odontolegal assume papel de destaque nas tentativas de identificação do indivíduo, e posterior retorno de seus restos mortais à família, para cumprimento de seus ritos funerais (JAYAKRISHNAN; REDDY; VINOD; KUMAR, 2021;PRAJAPATI et al, 2018).…”

“…São analisadas todas as particularidades da arcada dentária como a morfologia, acidentes anatômicos, posicionamento, anomalias e todas as particularidades que possam ser encontradas. Caso não seja apresentado o prontuário odontológico da suposta vítima, ou o prontuário disponibilizado contenha dados incompletos, com imagens malconservadas, a identificação do indivíduo pelo método odontológico fica impossibilitada, ficando a pessoa ainda como desaparecida, o que causa danos tanto legais como psicológicos para seus familiares (WALEED; BABA; ALSULAMI; TARAKIJ, 2015;ANDRÉ et al, 2020;JAYAKRISHNAN et al, 2021).…”
