Age estimation by counting incremental lines in cementum added to the average age of tooth eruption is considered an accurate method by some authors, while others reject it stating weak correlation between estimated and actual age. The aim of this study was to evaluate this technique and check the influence of periodontal disease on age estimates b...
Extra-oral radiographs of dry skulls on scientific or forensic context have head position as a critical procedure. The aims of this article are to present a multi-purposed head-positioning device, and to describe the new method of image acquirement using the device to adequately keep the head in a correct and safe position during radiological or to...
As a unique anatomical feature of the human body, the frontal sinus morphology has been used for identification of unknown bodies with many techniques, mostly using 2D postero-anterior X-rays. With the increase of the use of Cone-Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT), the availability of this exam as ante-mortem records should be considered. The purpose...
Facial reconstruction is a technique that aims to reproduce the individual facial characteristics based on interpretation of the skull, with the objective of recognition leading to identification. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the accuracy and recognition level of three-dimensional (3D) computerized forensic craniofacial reconstruction (CCF...
Forensic facial reconstruction (approximation) (FFR) is an aid to human identification when no presumed identity is available. It is based on average soft tissue thickness (STT) applied onto a skull. These averages vary at each landmark according to sex, ancestry, and Facial Growth Patterns (FGP). To obtain the reference thickness, there are differ...

Mozart's true face is revealed for the first time in 230 YEARS
By MICHAEL HAVIS FOR MAILONLINE
The mystery of how Mozart truly looked may be solved at last, after scientists reconstructed his living face from his skull.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14446633/Mozart-true-face-revealed-time-230-YEARS.html
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) is considered as one of the greatest composers of the Classical Period of music (ca. 1750–1820). Gifted with an unparalleled precocity, which allowed him to play and compose at the highest levels from a very young age, he continued his studies until the end of his life. Despite his prominent status, he was buried...
The present study aims to approximate the face from the alleged skull of Jan Žižka (ca. AD 1360–1424), a military commander and national hero in the Czech Republic. Found in 1910, the skull has only a fraction of its original structure, which required an initial effort to reconstruct the missing regions from data collected in CT scans of living peo...
This note presents a novel approach to facial approximation adopting forensic methodologies, that is the process of recreating an individual's facial traits from their osteological remains by combing anatomo-anthropological techniques with artistic rendering. In this article, a facial approximation of the famous mummy known as the "Gilded Lady" is...
In 1950 on Mount Zlatý kůň ('Golden Horse') in modern-day Czech Republic a system of caves was discovered. During many years of research in this area, human and animal osteological remains have been excavated, among which the most interesting ones were nine fragments of a female skull, now dated to ca. 43,000 yrs BP which are one of the earliest kn...

O presente artigo aborda o trabalho de aproximação facial forense de uma vítima da Batalha de Gotland, ocorrida em 1361 na ilha de mesmo nome, localizada na Suécia. Além de reconstruir o aspecto do indivíduo em vida, o trabalho buscou apresentar o ferimento recebido por um objeto cortante, ao ser golpeado na região frontal da face.
Forensic facial reconstruction aims to assemble and provide the appearance of a face over a skull, in order to lead to recognition of that individual, making possible the application of primary identification methods. The scientific literature presents facial soft tissue thickness (FSTT) tables for reference from a range of different geographic reg...
A estimativa de ancestralidade a partir do crânio é uma das abordagens mais desafiadoras no processo de aproximação facial forense. Existem várias técnicas disponíveis, desde aquelas com a mensuração de algumas regiões do crânio ,outras com estimativa de rating e até aquelas baseadas em inteligência artificial. É fato que nenhuma delas oferece um g...

Few studies have assessed the use of the frontal sinus cavities for sex differentiation. In this study, a new methodology was used to assess the reliability of CBCT images of the frontal sinus cavity for determining sex based on the sexual dimorphism found in this anatomical structure. The survey sample consisted of 130 scans that were reconstructe...
Human identification requires comparison of individual traits of a person, depending on the availability and reproduction of antemortem (AM) records. If there is no presumed identity or AM exams are not available for comparison, the production of postmortem (PM) records is impaired.
