A criação de uma plataforma de dados odonto-médicos com arcadas dentárias escaneadas para fins de identificação de vítimas de desastres: ênfase ao rompimento de barragens

Abstract

Several natural disasters can lead human beings to death, either by the action of the disaster itself, or by the time elapsed between the disaster and the localization of the victim, among which those related to the rupture of dams stand out. Conventional identification methods are not always effective, requiring identification by dental records. Several oral and dental data contribute to the identification of the victim, however, the creation of a platform that also contained the scanned dental arch would become a faster and more effective method of recognition. The objective is to study the methods of medicine and forensic dentistry applied to disasters with dams. The methodology used was exploratory, with searches in databases using the Boolean operators Dentistry /+/ Forensic, Identification /+/ Dental, Natural Disasters /+/ Identification of Victims, Natural Disasters /+/ Geological, Natural Disasters /+ / Hydrogeological, Disasters /+/ Consequences, Disasters /+/ Causes, on the Virtual Health Library (VHL), PubMed, SciELO, Google Scholar platforms, open-ended, requesting results in English, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish; visits to university library collections; use of the Google Forms platform to develop the prototype of the digital medical record. It was observed that, despite the benefits, dams present a risk of disasters, and in such advents, about 70% of the victims are identified through forensic dentistry. Therefore, the creation of a platform containing medical and oral-dental data correlated to the dental arch of populations vulnerable to disasters is important to ensure their identification.
