Abstract(s)
A Medicina Dentária Forense assume um papel cada vez mais importante na área médico-legal, destacando-se essencialmente nas áreas da identificação e da avaliação do dano corporal. Os dentes são providos de uma resistência e durabilidade inigualável, permanecendo disponíveis por longos períodos post mortem, mesmo quando sujeitos a situações extremas. Um diagnóstico de presunção não é suficiente para estabelecer a identificação, desta forma, há necessidade de recorrer a elementos sinaléticos que permitam a distinção inter e intra individual. A análise de fatores individualizantes assenta na observação das particularidades dentárias de cada indivíduo bem como da existência de tratamentos dentários, dispositivos médicos, traumatologia e patologia associadas à cavidade oral. A validação dos caracteres referidos, para fins de identificação positiva, pressupõe a comparação com dados ante mortem, sejam eles fichas clínicas, radiografias ou fotografias. A inclusão dos médicos dentistas nas equipas médico-legais e forenses é absolutamente necessário e imperativo, nos dias que correm.
Forensic Odontology plays an increasingly important role in the field of legal medicine, especially in the areas of identification and assessment of the bodily harm. The teeth are endowed with unmatched durability and durability, remaining available for long post mortem periods, even when exposed to extreme situations. A diagnosis of presumption is not sufficient to establish the identification. As a result, it is necessary to resort to signal elements that allow the distinction between inter and intra individual. The analysis of individual factors is based on the observation of the dental characteristics of each individual as well as the existence of dental treatments, medical devices, traumatology and pathology associated with the oral cavity. The validation of the mentioned characters, for purposes of positive identification, presupposes the comparison with ante-mortem data, whether clinical records, radiographs or photographs. The inclusion of dentists in medical-legal and forensic teams is absolutely necessary and imperative in these days.
