A aplicabilidade dos meios radiológicos na identidade e identificação cadavérica:uma revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

Cadaveric identification uses special techniques to determine the identity of someone, dividing the methods into primary and secondary that can be used together or separately. Radiological identification is based on the verification of examinations before and after death, with the aim of finding anatomical landmarks that corroborate the identity. Objective: This study aims to analyze cadaveric identification and its special techniques to determine someone's identity. Its purpose is to demonstrate the main benefits of the applicability of radiodiagnostic means in cadaveric identity and identification. Methodology: To this end, a bibliographic analysis was carried out, based on themes and studies already carried out, collected from the bases: Scielo, Science.gov and Pubmed, in the period 2016 - 2019, in Portuguese and/or English, from the combination of descriptors: cadaveric identification, legal dentistry and radiological identification. The search totaled 15 articles, of which 10 were selected for analysis. Results: The results showed that the radiographic examinations performed ante-mortem and post-mortem of the individual are a key point in identifying the cause of death, since they can be used for comparative purposes, providing a large amount of evidence and data. Conclusion: According to this article, it can be concluded that the examinations carried out before the victim's death are extremely efficient in the identification analysis. It was verified with the analysis that dental exams are reliable, agile and very important in human identification.
