Objective: The present study aims to illustrate the usefulness of bitewing radiographs in Forensic Odontology reporting a case of positive human identification achieved through the comparison between ante-mortem and post-mortem dental data. Case report: In 2014, a charred human body was referred for identification at the local medico-legal institute. Maxilla and mandible were dissected, enucleated and cleaned for a proper exam. The ante-mortem data consisted of 4 bitewing radiographs and a clinical dental file. The bitewing angulation was reproduced post-mortem manipulating both dental arches, enabling a radiographic comparison of dental evidences. Positive identification was obtained comparing morphological and treatment findings compatible ante-mortem and post-mortem. Conclusion: The present study highlights the importance for adequate management and storage of dental radiographs, which are potentially useful under the needs of Law. |
