It is the purpose of this paper to report the experience of a multidisciplinary teaching project of Legal Dentistry and Forensic Sciences, aimed at university students and the academic community in general. The project, through biweekly meetings with short courses, a group of textbook studies and scientific articles as well as other activities, stimulated the discussion and learning of these thematic areas that are increasingly in focus. For didactic purposes, a sequence of subjects of Legal Dentistry and Forensic Sciences was set up, allowing students to experience criminal expertise, through contact with simple essays, whose legal and forensic concepts involved are present in the curriculum experienced in different university courses. The biweekly lectures enabled the public (undergraduates and teachers) to exchange knowledge about the different areas that comprise the project. The subjects covered in the lectures are especially important in the areas that encompass Forensic Sciences, especially Forensic Chemistry and Dentistry. The teaching project entitled “Legal and Forensic Dentistry” can play a fundamental role in the academic formation, both for future dental surgeons and future experts, enabling vast knowledge in different areas of Forensic Sciences.
