Abstract

Introduction: the identification of postmortem persons using dental comparison is very useful in the case of finding bodies in an advanced state of decomposition for various reasons, and this is where dentistry plays a significant role, since it has the possibility of providing ante mortem data on the deceased for comparison and definitive identification.Objective: the general objective was to know the possibilities and limitations of odontological comparison in the identification of postmortem persons.Methods: a systematic review was carried out under a qualitative approach, with a descriptive scope on the relevant literature in the Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar databases to be distributed from 2018 to 2023, following the guidelines of the Prisma method. There was a total of 210 articles, with a final selection of 20.Results: in relation to the number of publications, Europe and Asia led in this category. The type of study that stands out is the case report of observational studies with comparative analysis, and the systematic review. As aspects addressed most frequently are, the role of the forensic odontologist, 3D scanning, microcomputed tomography, cone beam computed tomography and the importance of ante mortem and postmortem dental records in the identification of postmortem persons, by means of dental comparison. Conclusions:  the possibilities and limitations of odontological or dental comparison will depend directly on the full, safe and reliable accessibility of the ante mortem and postmortem information
