Na disciplina de Odontologia Forense da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo (FO-USP), um modelo de ensino construtivista, que se vale de práticas de dinâmica de grupo e de estudo de caso, busca reunir conhecimentos adquiridos na disciplina e em outras matérias que compõem o currículo da graduação em odontologia. Após uma aula expositiva e leitura prévia de uma apostila no ambiente virtual de aprendizagem, os alunos são divididos em equipes e realizam uma dinâmica de “local de crime”, que consiste em observar, descrever, registrar e emitir um relatório estruturado, fatores que se assemelham com o cotidiano clínico do cirurgião-dentista. Atualmente, um número crescente de profissionais vem demonstrando interesse nas carreiras forenses, e a disciplina tem por objetivo preparar o aluno para esse campo de trabalho multidisciplinar. Este relato visa a demonstrar as técnicas utilizadas e os resultados obtidos nos últimos anos com a aula prática pericial em ambiente de graduação.
