In 1977, Professor Oscar Gervasio Sánchez, together with professors from dental schools, came together to found a Society of Forensic Dentistry, which in the same year founded the Argentine Society of Forensic Dentistry – SADOL – in the city of Rosario, in the province of Santa Fe. Its first president was Professor Dr. Oscar Gervasio Sánchez, Professor of the Chief of Forensic Medicine in the Bachelor`s Career, Director and Postgraduate Career Professor of Specialization in Forensic Medicine. Among other things, he was head of the forensic medicine corps of the provincial courts of Rosario. He was a co-founder of the Association of Forensic Doctors of the Argentine Republic – AMFRA. In the building of the Department of Forensic Medicine of Rosario, there is an exhibition of models of dental arches used for the study of palace carpets. On October 6, 1978, Dr. Sánchez sent a letter to Prof. Ceppi is promoting the creation of general guidelines for a postgraduate career of forensic dentists and a university-based forensic dental identification team for disasters.

This assistant forensic dentist assists and cooperates in the criminal investigation, examines the head and neck of victims of homicides or car accidents, brings all the knowledge of forensic dentistry to the service of criminal procedure, assesses damage or analyzes serious or very serious injuries estimated by the forensic or forensic doctor. that the deceased or the person injured by the crime may have suffered as a result. It is only in recent years that this dental science has gained the importance it deserves in the country, putting it at the forefront of forensic medicine. In 1956, the Faculty of Dentistry of Cordoba was transformed into the Faculty of Dentistry of the National University of Cordoba and entered as Professor Dr. Juan Antonio Fontán. He studied philosophy, psychology and literature. That year he became a full professor in what was then called: History of Dentistry, Forensic Dentistry and Dental Economics. In 1960, he published “Budgets odonto-legales del trato profesional”. In 1932, Professor Juan Ramón Beltrán (1894-1947), Professor of Forensic Medicine at the University of Buenos Aires, published the first edition of the book “Forensic Medicine for the Teaching of Forensic and Social Dentistry” with a second edition in 1944.
In dental research, forensic pathologists develop their study in the odonomogram, which they can then compare with dental records; That is, the best technique will be that if the body is presented in an advanced state of decomposition, it will be normal to try to obtain these dental records to make the comparison with this cadaver trying to identify. This technique is one of the most advanced in this field, but not the only one, because if the condition of the deceased or the remains found do not offer greater possibilities for these investigative techniques, it will be necessary to resort to others such as forensic anthropology or genetics; and even others, such as the facial reconstruction technique, which is only used in cases where there is no other useful source of investigation to identify the remains found. In case of assisted or unassisted natural death, a technical examination of the corpse is not necessary, since it is possible that this person has been under medical treatment; also because it is possible to request a medical history of the latter; That is, to make the diagnosis of death. The presence of visible trauma, blood stains, seemingly deep wounds will shape an image of presumed violent death; Of course, corpses may appear that do not show these signs of violence, and yet the death may very well have been violent. On the other hand, there are also cases of sick elderly people who nevertheless die not from the disease but from natural death, or the case of young people without health complications who die and enter a suspicious death. In all cases, the forensic investigator must exhaust all means at his disposal to determine the true cause of death, the autopsy perfectly completing the picture of the reasons that caused his death. Suppose that in thanatological research, the term trauma is a word that would indicate a detectable physical impact or change of the corpse; whether it is in size or tiny; But yes, that its effects were capable of causing death. A puncture produced by the inoculation of poison would cause a very small trauma, but also the death of the subject. It is known that in some cases, the number of teeth can increase or decrease; Depending on the subject, we can find excess teeth, that is, additional parts, such as a fourth molar, a third premolar or a fifth incisors, in which it can be determined that they are not actually complete teeth, but deformities or irregular formations; which are far from being complete teeth. Of course, this can have genetic causes, such as the absence of lateral incisors or the second premolars and third molars; That is, the teeth that occupy the final position of each group of teeth. There are also dental treatments; Either for functional needs or for aesthetic needs.
In general, whether in one way or another, they can appear or can be checked by the odontogram. Carrea was Professor of Forensic Dentistry and History of Dentistry from 1933 to 1946. He is the creator of an identification system to determine average human height, called Radio Rope System. In October 1937, he published his own rugoscopic system, which extended the work of Professor López de León to Guatemala. The published article was titled “Human identification by roughness of the palate.” He recognized the importance of forensic dentistry and stated that “single-fingerprint identification is the safest and most accurate source of identification when the human body, living or dead, gives the fingerprint for research; But if the fingertips are absent, it is necessary to resort to anthropometric means to find enough elements for research in the arms, legs, box of the body, in addition, the same elements may be missing due to destruction under the action of fire, water, time, chemical agents, etc. And only the head remains, as so often today in countless air and automobile accidents, then dentistry can solve many legal problems that are dismissed today despite the hard lessons given by indisputable facts and discovered by dental expertise.
