To describe the use of diagnostic modalities for dentofacial imaging in forensic dentistry.
A scientific search was carried out in the PubMed, Google Academic, and SciELO databases with the keywords "Dentofacial Imaging", "Panoramic Radiography", "Lateral Cephalogram", "Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)", "Digital Radiography", and "Forensic Dentistry". Forty-eight recently dated articles published in English were selected, seeking information to describe the use of diagnostic modalities pertaining to dentofacial imaging in forensic dentistry.
The most relevant diagnostic modalities of dentofacial imaging for forensic dentistry include panoramic radiography, lateral skull radiography, posterior-anterior skull radiography and cone beam computed tomography.
The modalities described, together with morphometric analyses, allow forensic dentists to identify a corpse, estimate age, sex, and even facilitate forensic facial reconstruction for identification purposes.
描述法医牙科学中牙颌面成像诊断方法的应用。
在PubMed、谷歌学术和SciELO数据库中进行科学检索,关键词为“牙颌面成像”“全景X线摄影”“头颅侧位片”“锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)”“数字X线摄影”和“法医牙科学”。选取48篇最近用英文发表的文章,旨在获取有关法医牙科学中牙颌面成像诊断方法应用的信息。
法医牙科学中最相关的牙颌面成像诊断方法包括全景X线摄影、头颅侧位X线摄影、头颅后前位X线摄影和锥形束计算机断层扫描。
所描述的这些方法,连同形态计量分析,使法医牙医能够识别尸体、估计年龄、性别,甚至有助于为识别目的进行法医面部重建。
