RESUMO

The body lesions are injuries to the human body integrity in its endless parts and functions causing somatic (structural) and/or physiological (functional) damages as a result of the increasing violence level which overruns the society. This violence must be socially, physically, economically and culturally considered. Related to these injuries there is the need, by the healthy professionals which will evaluate them, of having the knowledge of clinical criteria to characterize and determine the injuries caused to the victim. Among body lesions, the facial lesions deserve prominence because the face represents the center of human attention, and frequently, the facial lesions leave physical and psychological signals and after-effects that cannot be repaired. The present retroactive study statistically analyzed the facial lesions and, among these ones, those which presented dental involvement. This analysis was based on IML forensic exams awards from Taubaté - SP, issued between January 2005 and December 2007, with the objective of evidencing the occurrence of such lesions, the most important etiological factor, gender and age group most affected and the kind of lesions, among the ones involving teeth, with larger occurrence. It was observed that from the total issued awards, considering the analyzed period, 23,81% reported facial lesions, and from these ones 6,31% reported dental involvement. The most important etiological factor was interpersonal aggression (54,64%), followed by car accidents (40,98%). The fracture was the most important lesion (3,93%) and the biggest number of lesions occurred in the upper jaw. The age group most affected by lesion with dental involvement was the group between 16 and 24 (55 cases), followed by the group between 24 and 32. The society, justice and science will be largely favored with the contribution that dental professionals will give to the judicial celerity, expert accuracy, scientific research and to the absolute citizen defense regarding to the extension and serious nature of the lesions which took him by the forensic dentist professional exercise.
