[Radiology in the medicolegal identification of cadavers. A new technique of radiography of the maxilla].
After removal, the maxilla and the mandible are placed on a standard radiologic cassette and a X-ray is performed with a low energy beam. Different views can be obtained if required. These radiographic images provide a complete, permanent and detailed record of dental anatomy and restorations, for comparison with antemortem radiographies. Two examples are provided. Moreover, this technique enables the determination of the dental age of children.
