THE EVENT

Dental identification is part of the broad circuit of Human Identification. The methods used by experts are based on the premise that no two individuals have the same dental characteristics. 

In this online event in Spanish, Dr. Ymelda presents how Human Identification works in Perú and how the process is carried out in an interdisciplinary team.  One of these teams, an identification council, compares the information of the missing persons that the relatives provide in the investigation with the information of the unidentified individuals.
