“…The dental identification premise is based on the presence of specific and particular characteristics of an individual on the definition of a minimum amount of concordant points 7,[15][16] . In order to substantiate the technical report of positive identification, the forensic dentist performs a scientific judgement in which not only is the presence of concordant points taken into account, but also considers, in particular, individualizing factors.…”

Periapical X-rays are the most common complementary tests in the dental clinic. The indication of image tests in forensic identification RESUMOAs radiografias periapicais são os exames complementares mais frequentes na clínica odontológica. A indicação de exames de imagens na identificação forense depende da qualidade das radiografias produzidas. A edição digital de radiografias convencionais pode melhorar a qualidade de imagem. O presente trabalho consiste em relatar a potencial contribuição do processamento digital de filmes radiográficos através de relato de caso de identificação positiva por radiografias periapicais editadas digitalmente. Os resultados dos exames antropológicos e dos arcos dentários da vítima correspondiam às informações cedidas pelos familiares sobre a pessoa desaparecida. As radiografias periapicais antemortem e postmortem foram digitalizadas em scanner fotográfico (HP Development Company, HP ScanJet G4050 Photo, Estados Unidos) e as imagens processadas no programa de edição Corel PaintShop Pro X4 (Corel® Corporation, v14, Canadá). A comparação das imagens digitais das radiografias periapicais antemortem e postmortem permitiu determinar 8 pontos concordantes no contorno e delimitação do seio maxilar e das estruturas dentária e periodontal do elemento 17. A identificação do indivíduo foi possível mediante a edição digital das radiografias em programa de computador. A edição da permitiu ajustar imagens de brilho, contraste e nitidez e cores de temperatura e saturação das imagens das estruturas dento-maxilares. Esse recurso tecnológico contribuiu de forma efetiva para a identificação positiva realizada pela Odontologia Legal.Termos de indexação: Identificação forense. Imagem digital. Radiografias.

“…Consequently, digital techniques for image manipulation of two-dimensional data of the anterior teeth arose as alternative tools for the identification of unknown human bodies/remains [18,19]. However, only experienced and trained experts should manipulate and proceed with comparative identifications founded on photographic evidence [20], once misinterpretations may occur. Based on that, validation of the forensic usefulness of smile photographs is necessary.…”

The present study reports a case of human identification using smile photographs and anthropological exams. In 2011, an unknown cadaver was found near to an uninhabited region in the state of Goias, Brazil. In the absence of ante-mortem records, a post-mortem anthropological profile was built, narrowing police lists of missing persons. Potential relatives of the victim were found. However, no medical or dental records of the victim were detected. Only two smile photographs were retrieved from the family belongings. Dental identifiers from the photographs and from the cadaveric exam were matched, converging for a positive human identification. Based on that, the present case illustrates the practical value of combining comparative and reconstructive approaches for human identification.

“…Kad je riječ o dentalnoj medicini, potrebno je arhivirati detaljni plan terapije, karton s podatcima o provedenim postupcima i rezultate terapije kako bi se postigla zaštita od mogućih pravnih postupaka i etič-kih primjedbi (2). Dokumentiranje postupaka u dentalnoj medicini omogućuje i primjenu komparativne tehnike u slučaju identifikacije ljudi (3,4). Zato je vrlo važno arhivirati kliničke podatke jer mogu biti potrebni stručnjacima i civilnog i kriminalističkog područja forenzike.…”

“…In odontology a detailed description of the treatment plan, practical steps and post-treatment outcomes is essential to support the dentist against potential legal and ethical complaints (2). Moreover, the registration of dental treatment also allows for further comparative techniques in human identification cases (3,4). To sum up, the registered clinical data play an important part both in the civil and criminal areas of the forensic environment.…”

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
