Unusual dental forensic cases in Norway

Two forensic dental cases from Norway are presented. The first case, in which a body was found on the seabed, illustrates that identification may give rise to suspicion of murder. In this case, the suspicion proved to be justified. The Scandinavian identification forms are presented. The second case is unusual in that tooth marks in bottle caps linked a burglar to the scene of the crime. Tooth marks for comparison were found in a police car where the suspect had opened a soft-drink bottle with his teeth. Comparison microscopy was used.
