Quantos pontos de concordância são necessários para se obter uma identificação odontolegal positiva?

Abstract

The present paper consists in a case study about human identification by comparative technique, through a forensic dental method in which the aspects of quantity and quality of necessary points of concordance for a positive identification are discussed. Although some studies point out a minimum of twelve convergent points, as established in the fingerprint analysis, the quantitative evaluation must appear parallel to a quantitative analysis. The authors pose that a positive identification based on different signs present in each case is possible without necessarily mattering the number of concordances.
