Resumo: Purpose: The aim of the present paper was to demonstrate the importance of dental records for human identification. Case description: A charred body was found inside of a burned car. Because the soft tissues were destroyed, finger print exams were not possible. According to investigations the suspected victim had had dental treatment, and all dental records (dental charts and radiograph exams) were requested. Comparing the information provided by dental records with the victim’s dental features, 11 matching reference points were detected. Based on technical and scientific parameters there was enough evidence to identify the body found inside the car as the missing person. Conclusion: Considering the unique aspects related to charred body identification, Forensic Dentistry identification technique still has some advantages in comparison with DNA exam because it is easy and fast to perform, has low cost and provides reliable results. Key words: Forensic Anthropology; victim identification; Forensic Dentistry; dental records

Descrição do caso: Um indivíduo foi encontrado carbonizado no interior de um automóvel incendiado. Devido à destruição generalizada dos tecidos moles, a identificação da vítima pela análise das impressões digitais não foi possível. Durante as investigações foi descoberto que a suposta vítima tinha feito tratamento dentário e toda a documentação produzida em decorrência deste tratamento (ficha clínica e radiografias) foi requisitada. Confrontando as informações presentes na documentação dentária com as particularidades odontológicas do cadáver foram obtidos 11 pontos relevantes de coincidência que foram suficientes para afirmar, com fundamento técnico-científico, que o corpo encontrado no veículo era realmente pertencente à pessoa desaparecida. Conclusão: Considerando a particularidade do processo que envolve a identificação de corpos carbonizados, a técnica de identificação odontolegal ainda apresenta vantagens em relação ao exame de DNA, tais como baixo custo, facilidade e rapidez na aplicação da técnica e confiabilidade dos resultados obtidos.
