Résumé

Il y a plusieurs moyens d'identifier les victimes de catastrophes, mais dans les désastres où les corps sont décharnés ou très mutilés, les parties juxta- osseuses des dents et les dents elles-mêmes peuvent être utilisées. Cet article décrit le rôle important que peut jouer l'odontologiste légiste dans ces cas. Ce rôle n'est pas reconnu dans la plupart des pays, surtout dans les pays en voie de développement, où l'odontologie légale est limitée aux affaires légales.

Abstract
Identification of victims of catastrophes : introduction to the role of forensic odontology

There are many ways of identifying victims of catastrophes but in disasters where most soft tissue has been lost, the hard tissues of teeth can be used. This article describes the important role that forensic odontology can play in these cases. This role has not been recognised in most countries, particularly developing countries, where forensic odontology has been restricted to legal affairs.
