Dental identification of fire victims.

In a recent review of 100 cases of dental identification, 60 were involved with fire. This figure excluded 3 air crashes in which 120 victims died, and in which fire was of a minimal consideration. This preponderance of burn cases prompted some observations and some queries, relative to fire, their type, temperatures and durations. Burn cases present a fund of useful knowledge in identification purposes.
