Resumen
Introducción: El registro dental, también conocido como el expediente del paciente, es el documento oficial del consultorio dental que registra todo el tratamiento realizado y todas las comunicaciones relacionadas con el paciente que ocurren en el consultorio dental. Los registros dentales juegan un papel importante en la identificación de un cadáver que se ha descompuesto en gran medida y es difícil de identificar visualmente. Cuando esto ocurre, se utilizan una variedad de métodos de identificación dental. Esto se debe a la capacidad de los tejidos dentales para soportar altas temperaturas, humedad y presión. Objetivo: Determinar la importancia eficientemente del registro odontológico para la identificación de un cadáver. Metodología: La presente investigación es de tipo documental, descriptiva, analítica y retrospectiva en su búsqueda, presenta un método deductivo; a partir de las palabras clave “registro odontológico, ante mortem, post mortem, odontología forense”, se revisaron 100 artículos científicos desde el 2016 hasta 2022, que fueron obtenidos en la web gracias a los buscadores Google Académico, Scielo, Redalyc, y en los metabuscadores PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, de los cuales, en base a criterios de inclusión y exclusión se analizaron 62 artículos. Conclusión: El registro odontológico dental de una persona puede jugar un papel vital en la odontología forense en la identificación, detección y solución de un delito, en procesos civiles o en situaciones de desastres naturales o provocados por el hombre. Recomendación: Informar a los pacientes antes de realizar cualquier procedimiento odontológico, la importancia que tienen los registros odontológicos en el área legal.
Introduction: The dental record, also known as the patient file, is the official document of the dental office that records all the treatment performed and all communications related to the patient that occur in the dental office. Dental records play an important role in identifying a carcass that has decomposed to a great extent and is difficult to identify visually. When this occurs, a variety of dental identification methods are used. This is due to the ability of dental tissues to withstand high temperatures, humidity and pressure. Objective: To efficiently determine the importance of the dental record for the identification of a corpse. Methodology: The present research is documentary, descriptive, analytical and retrospective in its search, it presents a deductive method; based on the keywords "dental record, ante mortem, post mortem, forensic dentistry", 100 scientific articles were reviewed from 2016 to 2022, which were obtained on the web thanks to the search engines Google Scholar, Scielo, Redalyc, and in the meta-search engines PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, of which, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 62 articles were analyzed. Conclusion: A person's dental record can play a vital role in forensic dentistry in the identification, detection and solution of a crime, in civil proceedings or in situations of natural or man-made disasters. Recommendation: Inform patients before any dental procedure is performed of the importance of dental records in the legal area.
