Resumo
Objective: age estimation of live individuals with legal purposes
is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach
to determine a reliable time interval for the examined person.
Objective was to report a case of age estimation in live individual
who claimed to be younger than 18 years (age of legal
majority), in spite of official documents state otherwise. Case
report: a male, arrested for criminal practice perpetrated on
01/21/2010 was sent for forensic examination to forensic dental
age estimation. During the identification of the suspect, it
was presented a birth certificate dating of 04/05/1991, wich
therefore indicated age of 18 years and 10 months when crime
was commited. However, suspect claimed to be a minor,
having been born on 07/12/1992, therefore being 17 years and
6 months old at the time of the offense. The claim of minority
based in the fact that his record would have been done
incorrectly, with a mistake on the date of birth. Intraoral and
orthopantomographic radiological exams showed up most of
teeth present and sound. Analysis of dental development by
four different methodologies and radiographic examination
carpal bones by six other methodologies, pointed out that developmental
and maturation features were incompatible with
an individual older than 18 years. Based on forensic analysis,
the court of law determined legal liability of the suspect based
upon legislation applicable to minors, despite official documents
that suggested otherwise, highlighting the importance
of expert examination to estimate age in live individuals, when
determining legal liability of suspects.
