title: Dental identification: certainty V probability.
abstract: The article attempts to explain that the dental expert cannot base his identification of an unknown body on the relative frequency of occurrence of any singular dental feature, its particular discrimination potential. Instead, he must make a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the combination of features involved. The author submits his thoughts on the latter and the guidelines which he, so far, has established for himself.
