Dental Pulp Fibroblast and Sex Determination in Controlled Burial Conditions

The need to identify bodies that are found as a result of disappearances with a diversity of causes, illegal burials and massive disasters, represent a wide percentage of dentistry practice on forensic research. The following study determined the performance of Barr Body Test, in fibroblasts of heal...
