Abstract
Massive disasters lead human beings to experience a difficult situation to deal with. There are some people who are more vulnerable than others to experience and overcome the consequences left by an event of this magnitude, which brands the man for the rest of his life. When chaos of these occurs, the families of missing or linked to the event, are the first to want an answer as soon as possible with high hopes, by rescuers. Forensic dentists are special part in these multidisciplinary teams work, and are very useful for identifying people. Your valuable identification is due to the extraordinary strength of the teeth to the agents that cause the destruction of the soft parts of the body. The collaboration of the family and the multidisciplinary team help antemortem data collection, which can be located and supplied, to be able to compare with the tragedy collected postmortem. The formation of a group to manage massive disaster situations can be variable from one country or region and event to event. It is very necessary and essential to conduct a subsequent feedback to the completion of the work, thus, to improve the aspects that have been deficient.
