[Importance of comparative odontological research in the whole entirety of identification proceedings on the base of the skull]].

The complex comparative identification studies based on skull analysis include a number of detailed tests of anatomy, anthropology, odontology and surgery. The range of tests performed depends primarily on the type of collected comparative material. In the paper, particular attention has been devoted to one of the stages of the identification procedure, i.e. to comparative odontological tests. An attempt has been made to underline their importance in the set of complex identification studies, based on the skull, and to accentuate the importance of appropriate and very accurate dental records for the forensic-medical applications.
