On May 6th, 1988, a Dash 7 airplane crashed into the mountain of Torghatten, near Brønnøy-sund in northern Norway. All 33 passengers and the three crew members were killed. The National Identification Commission, including a forensic dentist, was at the disaster site twelve hours later. A dentist and a forensic pathologist worked with the police at the site until all the victims had been found. Three other dentists were responsible for collecting antemortem material and for the postmortem examination of all victims. 32 of the victims, or 89%, could be identified by dental means alone; a higher percentage than ever before reported. The final meeting of the Identification Commission took place five days after the disaster. All the victims were identified on the basis of technical, medical, and dental evidence, and the report signed by each of the three specialist groups. The quality of the dental records was evaluated with respect to requirements set up by the Ministry of Social Affairs in 1983. Dental records had improved since the "Alexander Kielland" disaster in 1980. However, only five of the missing persons had full mouth intraoral radiography, only nine records met the requirements for general information about the patient (birth date and identification number, home and business address, etc), only three had information about earlier diseases, and none had recorded previous dental restorations. Diagnoses were given only for nine persons. The records showed that 21 of the victims had not received any prophylactic treatment.
1988年5月6日，一架达信7型飞机坠毁在挪威北部布伦讷于松附近的托尔加滕山上。机上33名乘客和3名机组人员全部遇难。包括一名法医牙医在内的国家身份鉴定委员会在12小时后抵达灾难现场。一名牙医和一名法医病理学家在现场与警方合作，直至找到所有遇难者。另外三名牙医负责收集生前资料并对所有遇难者进行尸检。32名遇难者，即89%，仅凭牙齿手段就能被识别出来；这一比例高于以往任何报道。身份鉴定委员会的最后一次会议在灾难发生五天后举行。所有遇难者均根据技术、医学和牙科证据得以确认，报告由三个专家小组分别签署。根据社会事务部1983年制定的要求对牙科记录的质量进行了评估。自1980年“亚历山大·基兰德”号灾难以来，牙科记录有所改进。然而，失踪人员中只有五人有全口口腔内X光片，只有九份记录符合关于患者一般信息（出生日期和身份证号码、家庭和工作地址等）的要求，只有三份记录有关于既往疾病的信息，且没有一份记录有先前的牙齿修复情况。仅对九人进行了诊断。记录显示，21名遇难者未接受任何预防性治疗。
