Abstract
The field of forensic dentistry embodies the human identification in a lot of conditions. A case is described when a tooth-like object was found in a pork sausage. A lawsuit was filed against the food company and the possible dental element was analysed. The tests used to analyze the case were: scanning electronic microscopic exam, radiographic exam and compared anatomy. The results confirmed that the object found in the sausage pack was a dental element from an adult pig; which had the potential for problems like asphyxia or contamination. The case illustrates one facet of forensic dentistry in Brazil.
