Post-mortem changes causes alterations in the body, making papilloscopic examination unfeasible for human identification. The odontolegal expertise assumes a leading role in human identification when papilloscopic methods are impossible. In these cases, the forensic dental records are collated with individual data present in dental records antemortem submitted by the family of a supposed victim. In the present case report, a man found in an advanced state of putrefaction was submitted to forensic dental exam, and his data were compared with data broght by family members. The comparison of radiographic data had special significance on case results and writing the odontolegal report. Ascertained the totality of equivalences of characteristics, as well as the absence of incompatibilities, it was demonstrated that in the presence of antemortem dental data well preserved, and properly accessed by the families through dental surgeons, they are of vital importance for the identification success. Radiographs assume a leading role in this process, once that different fillings made of the same material presents unique contours in each restoration or prosthesis made, guaranteeing, as well, uniqueness of the set of analyzed data.
