“…Fourteen studies were included in the qualitative analysis (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)17,18). Seven studies were included in the quantitative analysis (5,6,10,11,(15)(16)(17), and only one of them was not in the qualitative analysis (16).

“…In total, there are fifteen nasal reconstruction methods described in the literature (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)18), two of them seek to estimate specifically nasal width (4,12) and one estimates the nasal projection including its width (10). Only one study established a margin of acceptable distortion, based on data from the literature, between the estimated and the actual measurement of the nose (5). Two studies were performed in Latin America: Brazil was the country chosen.…”

“…Over the years, different techniques for estimating the nose were proposed (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14), tested, and compared (6,10,11,(15)(16)(17). However, it is not observed uniformity related to ancestry of the samples, making these studies to present different results for the same technique since ancestry has a significant role in facial features morphology.…”

Prediction facial features from the skull are recurring theme on the forensic literature. The nose has been investigated since it has a significant role in facial recognition and the literature shows that there is not an universal method for nasal prediction. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review to analyze what are the most consistent techniques of nasal reconstruction. Primary studies describing or validating nasal reconstruction techniques in adults and published in journals of Forensic Sciences were included in this review. Tedeschi‐Oliveira's method positioned nasal tip with acceptable accuracy as Gerasimov's method. The Krogman's and Iscan's technique underestimated nasal projection in North Americans. The Prokopec's and Ubelaker's method obtained accuracy in Caucasoid. George's method presented results similar to reference standard in Caucasoid. In a supplementary way, studies are needed to accurately estimate the nasal width.
