Enamel is the hardest and most durable substance in the human body - the teeth of a corpse are the last structures to degrade. The shape, alignment and any dental work (fillings, crowns, root canals, etc.) that have been done to the teeth are unique. Therefore, when trying to positively identify a body that no longer has the normally used structures available (hair, eyes, facial features, etc.), dental records provide a solid method of figuring out the identify of the body.
