Objective: To conduct a quantitative survey of scientific articles that used image collections as source of research in Forensic Dentistry and discuss its use from ethical, bioethical and legal perspectives. Material and Methods: A search for scientific articles published and available on Lilacs, PubMed and Scielo databases was carried out from 2015 to 2019 using keywords in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Articles in the area of Forensic Dentistry that used image collections as a source of information were included. Laboratory or clinical, archaeological or anthropological studies, case reports or review articles, prospective studies or that used imaging exams not belonging to collections were excluded. Results: 171 scientific articles were included. 22.80% (n = 39) were carried out by authors from Brazilian institutions, and 77.19% (n = 132) mentioned approval by a research ethics committee or corresponding institution with (or without) use of signed Informed Consent Form (ICF). Conclusion: Image collections are an important source of information for research in Forensic Dentistry, considering the number of publications during the study period. Most of the articles mentioned ethical approval and respect for participant privacy according to the requirements established for waiver of the ICF.
