THE DENTAL CHART AS A PROBATIVE MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION

The Dental Chart is a tool through which it is possible to diagnose, qualify and elaborate an ideal dental treatment plan. However, in corpse identification processes it acquires great importance when there are no other means of individualization. Therefore, having a record of each patient allows the competent authorities to use the most effective tool for identification. It is necessary that judicial operators rely on doctrinal, jurisprudential and legal support in existing procedures, resulting urgent that the matter is regulated so that the registration and use of the Dental Chart are mandatory, which incidentally, exalts the importance of dentistry as an auxiliary branch of law.
