Abstract

Determining the individual identity in human remains is the main objective of forensic anthropology

expertise. For this purpose, there are techniques based on comparison of ante-mortem register data and records obtained through the examination of the corpse. The technique of superimposing images, often used in craniofacial segment, is presented in this case study as an evidence of anatomical adaptability between a dental prosthesis used in life and the alveolar ridge and the palate skull of the studied object.
