Objective: Forensic dentistry has used some methods for the human identification process. However, there is a need to study characteristics that are able to perform identification more specifically, increasing accuracy. Considering the role of dental arch assessment in prediction of gender and ethnicity, the purpose of this study was to assess the volume of pulp chamber as a mean to obtain new forensic evidence. Material and methods: For this task, 1.190 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were retrospectively selected and subdivided according to the population number, gender, age and ethnicity. All DICOM files were imported to the open-source software ITK-SNAP® (http://www.itksnap.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php). The segmentation process was performed in all pulp chamber aiming to obtain pulp tissue´s volume. Results: As a result, the pulp chamber volume of mandibular canine teeth showed to be larger in white population than in non-white (P-value = 0.003) and in male individuals in comparison with female (P-value = 0.038). Conclusion: These results, however, must be confirmed by future studies with a larger sample size and by the assessment of other variables, including texture analysis and density of dental tissues.

Objetivo: Describir el uso de las modalidades diagnosticas pertenecientes a la imagenología dentofacial en la odontología forense. Materiales y métodos: Se realizo una búsqueda en la base de datos de PubMed, Google Académico y SciELO con las palabras clave “Dentofacial imaging”, “Panoramic Radiography”, “Lateral Cephalogram”, “Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)”, “Digital Radiography”, y “Forensic Dentistry”. Se seleccionaron 48 artículos publicados en ingles, de fechas recientes, buscando información que describiera el uso de las modalidades diagnosticas pertenecientes a la imagenología dentofacial en la odontología forense. Resultados: Las modalidades diagnosticas de la imagenología dentofacial incluyen dentro de las más relevantes para la odontología forense la radiografía panorámica, la radiografía lateral de cráneo, la radiografía posterioanterior de cráneo y la tomografía computarizada de haz cónico. Conclusiones: Estas modalidades, junto a la ejecución de análisis morfométricos, permiten al odontólogo forense la identificación de un cadáver, la estimación de la edad, el sexo e incluso la reconstrucción facial forense con fines identificativos.
