Abstract :

Forensic dentistry has its own identification procedures, like the Dental tab, the Rugoscopia, bites, and the Queiloscopia or impressions of the lips. It also has a number of elements of unquestionable value to contribute to justice, much as in the intrauterine life and after his birth, elements that allow us to determine the identification of people and corpses. The Dental tab is a transcendental identification procedure because the registered states of the patients and their variation over time with arrangements of the materials that are used are almost unchanged over time and high temperatures and to this we add that teeth, the harder tissues of the body are compelling evidences to identity different people. It helps in case of disasters, aviation accidents, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, great destruction and identification of the common pit. The Rugoscopia is another dental procedure of identification. It involves taking samples of soft tissues, and these are different in everyone. Another identification procedure is through the snakebites. These are impressions of teeth left on people, objects or edible substances. We also have the Queiloscopia that consists of taking the labial by different methods and the traces are unique, unchanging and imperishable.
