- ÍtemAcceso Abierto“La Identificación Humana mediante análisis de ADN en pulpas dentales”(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Guillén Cárdenas, Bryan Javier; González Andrade, Fernanda Nataly; 1350197768; ., .INTRODUCTION: Forensic odontology is in charge of handling corpses and adequately examining dental pieces. It is estimated that teeth are important for identification in the medical and legal area due to their great resistance to agents of destruction, fire being one of the main ones. OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of the technique of DNA analysis of dental pulps for human identification. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research was conducted through a qualitative approach, a bibliographic-documentary, descriptive, and explanatory study, and the analysis of scientific articles from 2017. RESULTS: The technique mainly used for getting DNA is the polymerase chain reaction. The dental pulp is the structure that presents the highest concentration of DNA, which is helpful for identification. Extraction by kits is more effective since DNA is not contaminated. The molars are primarily used for DNA extraction because their structure protects the dental pulp, avoiding damage. CONCLUSIONS: Forensic odontology is a helpful science for identification.
