The field of forensic dentistry embodies the human identification in a lot of conditions. A case is described when a tooth-like object was found in a pork sausage. A lawsuit was filed against the food company and the possible dental element was analysed. The tests used to analyze the case were: scanning electronic microscopic exam, radiographic exam and compared anatomy. The results confirmed that the object found in the sausage pack was a dental element from an adult pig; which had the potential for problems like asphyxia or contamination. The case illustrates one facet of forensic dentistry in Brazil.
法医牙科学领域在许多情况下都涉及人类身份识别。本文描述了一起在猪肉香肠中发现类似牙齿物体的案例。有人对食品公司提起诉讼，并对可能的牙齿成分进行了分析。用于分析该案例的测试方法有：扫描电子显微镜检查、放射检查和比较解剖学。结果证实，在香肠包装中发现的物体是成年猪的牙齿成分；它有可能导致窒息或污染等问题。该案例说明了巴西法医牙科学的一个方面。
