Check against the kn: Most people have been to a dentist and have dental records including xrays. You can compare the things found on the older records to the person yoju are trying to identifhy. Some easy things are which teeth are missing, what fillings are in which teeth, fracture lines in bone, size and shape of teeth and bone support and any other visible identifiers. There are a myriad of other things to help. I.

Identification: X-rays, photographs, study models, charting, and narrative dental notes are compared to the individual. In addition to restorations, the Pathologist will asses dental occlusal relationships, skeletal relationships, dental and skeletal age indicators, notes about fractures, missing teeth, and all of the other things that have been noted in the Dentists charts.
