Resumo: The analysis of dental features and patterns figures amongst the primary means for human identification established by the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL). Differently from fingerprint and genetic analyses, forensic dentistry does not necessarily require a minimum number of similarities between antemortem and postmortem data. In other words, human identification could be achieved from the analysis of a single distinctive tooth or even from a single dental identifier. This study aims to report a case of dental human identification of a charred body. Police investigations were carried out and narrowed the scenario towards a single victim. Fingerprints were destroyed by the fire, hence the relatives of the victim were requested to provide any antermotem dental data. A panoramic radiograph was provided. Developing third molars were visible as well as the endodontic treatment, post and core, and the nonmetallic crown of the maxillary right central incisor (tooth #11). Postmortem radiographs were taken from the cadaver and revealed the same therapeutic dental identifiers found in tooth #11. The observed similarities and the lack of discrepancies between antemortem and postmortem data converged to the positive identification of the victim. This study illustrated the importance of Forensic Dentistry for complex cases of human identification, such as those exposed to fire. Especial attention is driven to the possibility of safely achieving positive human identification with the contribution of a single distinctive tooth.

A diferencia de los análisis genéticos y de huellas dactilares, la odontología forense no requiere necesariamente un número mínimo de similitudes entre los datos antemortem y postmortem. En otras palabras, la identificación humana podría lograrse a partir del análisis de un solo diente distintivo o incluso de un solo identificador dental. Este estudio tiene como objetivo informar un caso de identificación dental humana de un cuerpo carbonizado. Se llevaron a cabo investigaciones policiales y se redujo el escenario hacia una sola víctima. Las huellas dactilares fueron destruidas por el fuego, por lo que se solicitó a los familiares de la víctima que proporcionaran los datos dentales del antemotem. Se proporcionó una radiografía panorámica. Los terceros molares en desarrollo eran visibles, así como el tratamiento de endodoncia, el poste y el muñón, y la corona no metálica del incisivo central superior derecho (diente #11). Se tomaron radiografías postmortem del cadáver y revelaron los mismos identificadores dentales terapéuticos que se encuentran en el diente #11. Las similitudes observadas y la falta de discrepancias entre los datos antemortem y postmortem convergieron en la identificación positiva de la víctima. Este estudio ilustró la importancia de la Odontología Forense para casos complejos de identificación humana, como los expuestos al fuego. Se presta especial atención a la posibilidad de lograr de manera segura una identificación humana positiva con la contribución de un solo diente distintivo.A análise das características e padrões dentais figura entre os principais meios de identificação humana estabelecidos pela Organização Internacional de Polícia Criminal (INTERPOL). Diferentemente da impressão digital e das análises genéticas, a odontologia legal não requer necessariamente um número mínimo de semelhanças entre os dados antemortem e postmortem. Em outras palavras, a identificação humana poderia ser obtida a partir da análise de um único dente distinto ou até mesmo de um único identificador dental. Este estudo tem como objetivo relatar um caso de identificação humana odontológica de um corpo carbonizado. Investigações policiais foram realizadas e restringiram o cenário a uma única vítima. As impressões digitais foram destruídas pelo fogo, portanto, os parentes da vítima foram solicitados a fornecer quaisquer dados dentais antemortem. Uma radiografia panorâmica foi fornecida. Os terceiros molares em desenvolvimento eram visíveis, bem como o tratamento endodôntico, pino e núcleo, e a coroa não metálica do incisivo central superior direito (dente #11). As radiografias pós-morte foram tiradas do cadáver e revelaram os mesmos identificadores dentais terapêuticos encontrados no dente #11. As semelhanças observadas e a falta de discrepâncias entre os dados antemortem e post mortem convergiram para a identificação positiva da vítima. Este estudo ilustrou a importância da Odontologia Legal para casos complexos de identificação humana, como aqueles com exposição ao fogo. Atenção especial é dada à possibilidade de alcançar com segurança a identificação humana positiva com a contribuição de um único dente distinto.Research, Society and Development2021-01-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1101010.33448/rsd-v10i1.11010Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 1; e24210111010Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 1; e24210111010Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 1; e242101110102525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/11010/10459Copyright (c) 2021 Rhonan Ferreira Silva; Fernando Fortes Picoli; Lívia Graziele Rodrigues; Maria Alves Garcia Santos Silva; Bárbara Forte Felisari; Ademir Francohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Rhonan FerreiraPicoli, Fernando FortesRodrigues, Lívia GrazieleSilva, Maria Alves Garcia SantosFelisari, Bárbara ForteFranco, Ademir2021-02-20T21:19:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/11010Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:32:56.892260Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
