Abstract

Dental human identification is a fundamental part of Forensic Dentistry curriculum. Scientific literature has evolved and presented evidence to guide best practices in dental human identification. In parallel, international guidelines exist to guide experts practicing Forensic Dentistry. Education in this field should encompass dental human identification when it comes to single cases and disaster victim identification both in the scope of research and practice. The present study addresses the topic with a pedagogical proposal and presents a new 20-question quiz to the scientific community in order to promote education in dental human identification. Enjoy your studies!
