Abstract: The objective of the present study is to emphasize the
importance of clinical dental records in forensic human
identification efforts, in order to make an investigation
with the data collected from records of the Laboratory
for Forensic Anthropology and Legal Dentistry at the
Santo Andre (SP) Legal Medicine Institute, related to
the years from 2000 to 2007. From the analyzed forensics
reports (n = 32), only 37.50% were identified, and
among these, 66.67% were identified by means of dental
records, showing the clinical and forensic relevance
of this method, and justifying the recording of more information
on treated patients, leading to higher rates of
cadaver identification.
