Bodies found in acts of war or natural disasters are sometimes impossible to identify for police or legal purposes, notably because of calcination or putrefaction. Teeth, which are particularly resistant to destruction by fire, bacteria or other agents, can be used to evaluate the victim's dental age by the Gustafson method with a margin of error of plus or minus 4,6 years. Blood group has also been established with more than 85% concordant results by determination of the A. B. O antigens which are present in dental tissue and pulp. These techniques were tested on 257 teeth from subjects of known dental age and blood group. They provide additional evidence of the identity of deceased persons.
在战争或自然灾害中发现的尸体有时因煅烧或腐烂而无法被警方或法律机构识别。牙齿特别能抵抗火灾、细菌或其他因素的破坏，可通过古斯塔夫森方法用来评估受害者的牙齿年龄，误差幅度为正负4.6岁。通过测定牙齿组织和牙髓中存在的ABO抗原，血型鉴定结果的一致性也超过了85%。这些技术在已知牙齿年龄和血型的受试者的257颗牙齿上进行了测试。它们为确定死者身份提供了额外证据。
