Resumo

Forensic dentistry is important in human identification because it analyses individual characteristics present in the teeth of each individual based on comparison. The aim of this work is to highlight the importance of the correct documentation made by the dentist and to present a case solution using panoramic x-ray. To carry out the report, dental charts and panoramic radiography were used for comparison with dental examination of a female body remains. The wrong notation of charts, made by the dentist, almost leaded to an exclusion identification. Due to panoramic x-ray made nine years before the death, a positive identification could be made. That fact emphasized the importance of attention when charts are being filled out.
