A car collided head-on with a bus containing 56 passengers plus the driver. A few seconds after the crash, the bus caught fire and 28 persons (15 male and 13 female) lost their lives. All the deceased were almost completely incinerated. To establish the identity of the victims, the judge in charge of the case designated a multidisciplinary Identification Commission. Postmortem procedures included a general external examination, routine photographs, dental examination, dental (intraoral and extraoral) and general radiographs (chest, ankle, etc.), and complementary biological methods for identification (e.g., DNA analysis). The antemortem information, including dental and medical records available, were transcribed onto the INTERPOL disaster victim identification forms. The detailed ante- and postmortem information were compared manually. In this disaster dental identity could be established in 57% of the victims, whereas dental evidence did not allow by itself the identification of 12 burned victims. Odontological examination and complementary radiographic procedures were found to be accurate, economic and rapid methods of identifying badly burned victims in this bus accident.
一辆汽车与一辆载有56名乘客及司机的巴士迎头相撞。车祸发生几秒钟后，巴士起火，28人（15名男性和13名女性）丧生。所有遇难者几乎都被完全焚烧。为确定受害者身份，负责该案件的法官指定了一个多学科身份鉴定委员会。尸检程序包括全身外部检查、常规拍照、牙科检查、牙齿（口腔内和口腔外）及全身X光检查（胸部、脚踝等），以及用于身份鉴定的补充生物学方法（如DNA分析）。生前信息，包括现有的牙科和医疗记录，被转录到国际刑警组织灾难受害者身份鉴定表格上。详细的生前和死后信息进行了人工比对。在这场灾难中，57%的受害者可以通过牙齿确定身份，而仅靠牙齿证据无法识别12名烧伤受害者。在这次巴士事故中，牙科学检查及补充性放射检查程序被证明是识别严重烧伤受害者的准确、经济且快速的方法。
