Este artigo de revisão sistemática tem por objetivo citar os métodos de identificação humana por meio da radiologia, utilizados em odontologia legal. Para isso, realizou-se revisão de literatura com 19 trabalhos selecionados dentre 45 encontrados, após aplicação de critérios de inclusão. Há diversas técnicas radiológicas que podem ser utilizadas para auxiliar na identificação humana, tanto individual como geral, incluindo a determinação do gênero, do grupo étnico e, principalmente, da idade. A análise de radiografias e tomografias ante-mortem e post-mortem tornou-se uma ferramenta fundamental nos processos de identificação em odontologia legal, principalmente com o refinamento das técnicas adquiridas com o avanço da própria radio-logia e com a incorporação da informática. Conclui-se que a partir do conhecimento adequado dos métodos disponíveis, o profissional em odontologia legal pode optar pelo método que melhor preencha as características necessárias para o sucesso da identificação, tendo cuidado na aplicação correta da técnica e na interpretação precisa das informações obtidas.
A bibliographic survey covering the last ten years was performed in the following scientific search sites: PubMed (a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine), available at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/, and Bireme (Regional Medicine Library, a specialized database of the Pan-American Health Organization), specifically at the databases Medline, Lilacs, SciELO and Cochrane, available at www.bireme.br, utilizing the following terms as descriptors in Portuguese: radiologia, odontologia legal, identificação humana; and in English: radiology, forensic dentistry and human identification.
Odontologia Legal Antropologia Forense Pdf 11
En el Estado español, la antropología forense sólo es reconocida a nivel legal, si es ejercida por un médico forense. De hecho su formación docente ha estado y sigue estando vinculada a la medicina forense. En otros países, como Portugal o Estados Unidos, la antropología forense tiene una entidad propia, tanto a nivel de enseñanza, como profesional. De todas maneras, en la actualidad, el avance de la ciencia en general hacia la interdisciplinariedad nos encamina hacia una colaboración estrecha entre todos los ámbitos del saber. Por tanto, la antropología forense está a medio camino entre la antropología física y la medicina forense; sin embargo, este encuadre no estaría completo si no añadimos aquí el universo del derecho.
- La obtención de los datos ante mortem estuvo liderada por un médico forense, experto en el tipo de información necesaria para una identificación y en cómo obtenerla, a la vez que formado en aspectos legales y en el trato con personas que han sufrido situaciones difíciles.
