ABSTRACT Dental Anthropology points its interest towards human teeth, because they have great resistance to the effect of external agents and over time, being the most resistant structure of the organism due to its histological characteristics and the protection of the peridental soft tissues. Thanks to the variability, preservability and observability, the dental morphology provided an outstanding perspective of the biological and cultural aspects of the victims of violence, offering a remarkable understanding about ancestral filiation through the coronal dental morphological features, whose characteristics favored retention of bacterial plaque, generating pathologies which provided an approach to their eating pattern. The following methods were used to evaluate the morphology of the dental structure: Christy G. Turner II's ASUDAS method, Smith's method, Buikstra & Ubelaker's method, Mestre's method, survey method and statistical method; and precise techniques, such as: macroscopic and interview. The oral cavity of 40 people was evaluated: 15 women and 25 men; 1,056 teeth in total. The most prevalent coronal dental morphological features were: blade incisor, hypoconus reduction, layered fold and Carabelli cusp; while the low frequencies can be seen in: cusp 6, point P, protostilid and dental tuber. Informational markers such as: wear, calculation and decay provided an approximation of the food pattern, highlighting men with a higher consumption of proteins of vegetable and animal origin and, like women, an intake of carbohydrates and sugars.
