Retsodontologisk identifikation
Abstract
Forensic dental identification Dental tissues and dental restorations can withstand extreme conditions. For dental identification accurate odontological details recorded on deceased individuals are compared to dental records on missing persons. Forensic dental identification and profiling are common tasks for forensic odontologists. Dental identification can be essential when unknown bodies are found. It may be relevant in single cases as well as following mass disasters, when bodies are decomposed beyond recognition, severely mutilated or skeletal remains exist. Forensic dental identification is recognized internationally as one of three so-called “primary identifiers” together with fingerprints and DNA.
