Forensic DentistryMust have knowledge of Human Anthropology to give

with exactitude the results with respect to the expert

works within this area. Since within the expert works

not always we are going to find with corpses within anamphitheatre, in certain occasions it will have to work

with found corpses of unknown identity.

The teeth offer much information for thecomparison of the data antemortem with

postmortem

First of all

Because, partly, formed by the

weave it last more of the human

body (the enamel)

Secondly

the great evolutionary stability that

owns the crowns, follows a model

polygenetic that although at the moment

are not known, indicates in some

morphologic characters of population

importance

And Finally

Because of all the hard

structures of mesodermal

origin, the teeth are the unique

ones that in the subject while

still alive are in direct bonding

with the environment

Estimation Of The AgeIt exists a great correlation between the chronological age and the

biological age; for that reason, second it is used to consider to first

that the chronological age is really the one that is required like

element of work in the legal medical identification.

The dental maturation mainly and the bud of the teeth are the

most efficient resources to consider the age in small children and

adults and can helpful be the grade of qualification of the third

molars in individuals with less than 25 years of age.

Determination Of Sex And The

RaceThe determination of the variables sex and race presents a

great methodologic dependency.

Although anatomical regions able exist to offer to major

information and therefore, to provide more efficienttechniques, the teeth and maxillaries can be used with these

aims, mainly, in corpses very fragmented or carbonized. For

such cases they are the discriminating functions to

determine sex and the race by dental measurements

(ODONTOMETRIA)

prothesic dentadures, orthodontic and in other

To determine the age in children and subadults the autopsy will

The use of the special methods of identification of the forensicestomatologa, it is indispensable inside theactions (performances)

medico legal related to the massive Identification of corpses in situations

of disasters.

These technologies (skills) acquire major value of application inthose cases in which the physical integrity of the bodies of the

deceased is very affected and basically they do not differ when

they are used in other circumstances.

What distinguishes to the work of the forensic estomatologo in situations of disasters,

is your integration to a multidisciplinary group under an organizational particular system
