"Evidence exists to identify human remains when all else is lost. When an explosion, accidental cremation or a fire set deliberately to cover a crime destroys a body, precious little may remain to link it to a life once lived. Yet even among the ashes, a team of forensic dental researchers at UB has shown that evidence exists that can help identify human remains when all else—flesh, bones, teeth, DNA—is lost. Work by forensic dental researchers Peter and Mary Bush has shown for the first time that inorganic resins that make up the central matrix of tooth-colored dental fillings can withstand temperatures of 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, be recovered and named by brand or brand groups."
