The identification of unknown human by smile photographs that show specific characteristics of each individual has found wide acceptance all over the world. Therefore this paper shows this situation reporting different cases which smile photograph analysis were crucial to determine the positive identification of unidentified human bodies. All the cases were subjected to personal identification by photographs of smile including one adult male found in an advanced stage of decomposition, one adult female disappeared during an ecotourism trip, and one carbonized body of a male individual found in a forest region. During the autopsy the photographs of the smile were used by comparison of the ante and postmortem images gave accurate and useful information not only about dental state but also the anatomical features surrounding the upper and lower anterior dental arches. This method is not time-consuming and also has the advantage of allowing extraoral dental examination. It is also recommended when there is a need to provide quantitative data for a forensic identification based on these structures.
通过展示每个人特定特征的微笑照片来识别未知人员，这一方法在全球范围内已得到广泛认可。因此，本文通过报告不同案例来阐述这种情况，在这些案例中，微笑照片分析对于确定身份不明尸体的正面身份识别至关重要。所有案例均通过微笑照片进行个人身份识别，包括一具处于高度腐烂阶段的成年男性尸体、一名在生态旅游途中失踪的成年女性以及一具在森林地区发现的男性碳化尸体。在尸检过程中，微笑照片被用于生前和死后图像的对比，不仅提供了有关牙齿状况的准确有用信息，还提供了上下前牙弓周围的解剖特征信息。这种方法不耗时，并且具有允许进行口腔外牙齿检查的优点。当需要基于这些结构为法医鉴定提供定量数据时，也推荐使用这种方法。
