AB  - Dental evaluation is used by forensic dentists in the identification process of victims. In cases of deformed external features or characteristics of the victim the recognition is difficult without assessing dental morphological signs. We report a case of fatal burn injury where the victim’s characteristics were totally deformed. The removal of mandible and maxilla was essential for the identification process. The technique is discussed with a special interest on the documents kept including digital photography. The storage of the specimens is significant for future evaluation and law recall.
