Ítem Solo Metadatos Registro de mordida como técnica de identificación humana en odontología forense. Revisión de la literatura.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Angamarca Verdugo, Karla Fernanda; Andrade Molina, Gloria Azucena; 0301973392Dentistry has gained importance in the Legal field in identifying corpses through the elements of the stomatognathic system, making technical and scientific comparisons, recognizing the importance of dental records and dentures as a human identification technique in forensic dentistry as this is an essential auxiliary branch of justice. Objective: To analyze the importance of Bite Registration as a Human Identification Technique in forensic dentistry and to know the protocol for identifying fingerprints in corpses through these records, their origin, characteristics, types, and patterns. Methods: The research is a literature review, and the design is descriptive, retrospective, and analytical. A bibliographic review of 30 scientific articles from the last five years was conducted, analyzing the titles, abstracts, and conclusions of the studies to identify the most relevant ones based on their close relationship with the research topic. Discussion: Jaramillo (2019) states that analyzing the bite registration is vital to the quality of the record and will depend on the amount of force used during chewing, the characteristics of the skin, and the duration time of the dental impression, Gutierrez (2018). However, Tiol (2020) refers that bite registrations are not always stable, neither when produced nor over time, and there is the possibility that there are distortions that causes the modification of the bite impressions and dimensions. Briem (2022) clarifies that the lack of dental records seriously hinders the process of human identification. Conclusions: Dentistry in the forensic area has a lot of potential, which is used for identification of corpses in catastrophes and also in crime scenes, for them it is extremely important the preservation of dental records of patients since in the future they will serve as antemortem data when there are legal implications. Dental records are useful as a human identification technique, however, bite mark evidence is questionable, as it is based on inductive reasoning and there is no true scientific and statistical evidence.
