Resumo
The dental records produced in the prosthetic treatments have primordially a clinical purpose, because these documents
allow the consultation about the stage of execution of odontological procedures. However, in specific situations, the
information contained in these documents may have relevant legal value, by clarifying several judicial questions. In cases
related to the identification of edentulous individuals, the dentist must be attentive to register all possible details about
the oral anatomy of the patient and denture features. In this context, the aim of this work is to show the forensic
importance of prosthetic records, through a case report, by emphasizing the social and legal importance of establishing
denture marking standards. Until the Federal Council of Dentistry establishes specific rules concerning the matter, and
to be followed by dentists and technical in dental prosthesis, these professionals must observe their ethical and legal
obligations related to the notes and data about clinical and laboratorial prosthetic procedures that they have to register
in patient’s record. Thus, these dental records may protect the professional exercise and subsidize correctly the forensic
exams in cases of edentulous patients.
