The auxiliary technique known as Facial Reconstruction enables one to reestablish the contours of the soft tissues over the skull, therefore producing a face and increasing the probability of a facial recognition. The reliability of this technique depends on the evaluation of the mean values of soft tissue thicknesses observed in a given population. Measurements were evaluated in autopsied corpses in "Section of Technical Verification of Deaths" in Guarulhos, São Paulo, Brazil. Thickness was measured manually by puncturing 10 midline craniometrical points and 11 bilateral points on a sample of 40 corpses of both sexes aged between 17 and 90 years, classified by skin color and the nutritional state. The results for the average thickness values are higher for males, variations related to the nutritional state are proportional to the increased fat on the face and age was not significant. The ethnic variable related to skin color when compared to studies with other populations showed differences, with the need for a reference table for a given population application of Facial Reconstruction technique in skulls of non-attributable identity.
辅助技术，如面部重建，可以重建颅骨上软组织的轮廓，从而生成一张人脸，提高面部识别的可能性。这种技术的可靠性取决于对特定人群中观察到的软组织厚度平均值的评估。在巴西圣保罗瓜鲁柳斯的“死亡技术验证科”对解剖尸体进行了测量。通过在 40 具年龄在 17 至 90 岁之间的男女尸体上的 10 个中线颅骨测量点和 11 个双侧点手动测量厚度，对尸体进行分类，根据肤色和营养状况进行分类。男性的平均厚度值较高，与营养状态相关的变化与面部脂肪的增加成正比，年龄没有显著影响。与其他人群的研究相比，与皮肤颜色相关的种族变量存在差异，因此需要为特定人群制定一个参考表，以便在无法确定身份的颅骨上应用面部重建技术。
