Positive identification of victims by comparison of ante-mortem and post-mortem dental radiographs. Radiography of jaws and teeth can provide one of the most reliable sources of information for comparison between ante-mortem and post-mortem conditions leading to definitive evidence in cases of identification.

CONT

Les dents sont les pièces du squelette qui sont utilisées le plus fréquemment à l'identification (odontologie légale) puisque l'on dispose, généralement, d'archives dentaires ante mortem, que l'on peut superposer aux radiographies dentaires ante et post mortem permettant de rechercher les coïncidences tant de la morphologie dentaire que de leurs restaurations.
