Resumen

A systematic review of the literature in PubMed was made by combining the terms “cuspid” and “tooth root” as MeSH health descriptors, combined with the Boolean operators “+” and “” to obtain describing publications about two roots canines in order to sustain, on scientific evidence, the application of dental anthropology (dental morphological variations) in forensic science (forensic processes of dental identification). This literature review identified reports that describe the presence of two-rooted canines and the number and distribution of root canals for diagnostic and therapeutic pur-poses; and one report in which description was performed for forensic identification purposes. The de-scriptions corresponded to different cases of permanent maxillary canines with left unilateral expres-sion, permanent mandibular canines with right unilateral expression, left unilateral expression with bilateral expression. There were no reports of deciduous dentition. Likewise, a case report in which skele-tonized human remains were identified by the presence of bilateral two-root mandibular deciduous canines is described.
