[Teeth as an identification tool].
The signs and varieties of the teeth, dentitions and maxillar bones are described that could be used for identification. The anatomic, morphological, physiological and functional signs upon the teeth are so numerous that, according to the formula of submultitudes, their possible combinations are calculated in millions, hence they are strictly individual and unique. By the twins method it has been confirmed that many signs and varieties of the teeth and some dental-jaw anomalies and defects are hereditary, with a rather high predomination of hereditary factors over the factors of environment. It has been established tahat the theoretical problems for identification and differentation the humans by the teeth and dention are rather well and reliably studied and described but for the needs of forensic medicine and criminology specific methods have to be developed.
