“…The registers showed 84 bodies (15.9%) with a gunshot wound on the face, and about 50% of the bodies that presented orofacial lesions died from that wound. These data corroborate other studies on the relationship between violence and TOI in living people . However, none of these studies have attempted to identify a correlation between TOI or TDI and violent death.…”

“…The results highlight the role of violence as an important cause of traumatic orofacial injuries and suggest that it is underestimated. The fact that such an association could not be verified with TDIs is disappointing, since they are commonly seen in forensic assessment of living victims of violence . However, such results should be analyzed in the light of the limitations of the present methodology, which evaluated the reports and not the bodies themselves.…”

Background/Aim Orofacial trauma and traumatic dental injuries (TDI) are serious public health problems due to their high prevalence, severe morbidity, high costs of treatment, and long‐term sequelae. However, the extent of the problem may be underestimated since trauma analysis, from a forensic odontology perspective, is not widely represented in the scientific literature. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of traumatic orofacial injuries (TOI) and TDI in unidentified bodies and their association with the cause of death. Materials and methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of dental and autopsy reports of unidentified bodies admitted to the Institute of Forensic Medicine of Belo Horizonte (IFM‐BH), Brazil, between 2015 and 2016. The final sample was made up of 536 bodies. Demographic data, the location where the body was found, cause of death, and the presence and type of orofacial trauma were collected. Results The mean of the estimated age of the bodies was 38 years and the median was 35 years. Most of the bodies were from males (87.5%) and were found downtown in the city of Belo Horizonte (60.4%). Violence was the most common cause of death (64%), generally by gunshot (48.7%). Bodies with an estimated age ≤35 years were eight times more likely to have died from violent causes. TOI was registered in 50.9% of the reports. TDI was observed in 10.8% of the bodies. Victims of violent death were seven times more likely to present TOI. Such association was not observed when the presence of TDI was considered. Conclusions There is a positive association between TOI and violent death in unidentified bodies.

“…No que diz respeito à cor da pele, a maior frequência de pardos envolvidos nos acidentes de trânsito encontra-se em concordância com outros estudos (16,(77)(78) . De acordo com o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), mais da metade da população arapiraquense é parda (79) , o que pode explicar tal resultado.…”

“…De acordo com Mascarenhas et al (77) , diferenças étnicas associam-se a desigualdades sociais e condicionam a forma de viver e de morrer de grupos de pessoas, potencializando a ocorrência dos acidentes de trânsito com pretos e pardos. Araújo et al (78) ressaltam que a construção histórico-social que levou a sociedade brasileira a uma evidente divisão entre subgrupos populacionais produz atualmente uma distribuição desigual de saúde, educação e renda entre negros e brancos.…”
