The bioanthropological evaluation on remains of hard tissues can collaborate in identifying physical
characteristics of individuals. The teeth are important in the identification of human bodies that have undergone major changes particularly due to its resistance to degradation. The aim of this study is analyzing the dental remains of a human skeleton - dated of 1920 ± 40 years BP and located in a shell mound at the Ilhabela Archipelago, São Paulo State, Brazil - as a source of anatomical analysis for scientific purposes. The remaining teeth were classified according to dental notation and the authors concluded that even in a long time, teeth keep maintain anatomical features which may be helpful in identifying the deceased individual.
