Line 8:
Sometimes in fiction a character has his teeth surgically altered so he can fake his death. Such surgery is easily identifiable in [[Real Life]], at least in modern times, and in most cases the best way to fake a death through dental ID would be to switch the records.
 
A common trope in police procedurals, medical mysteries, and forensic shows. Identifying bodies from dental records is [[Truth in Television]], but it works a lot better in fiction than in real life. See the [[Useful Notes/Identification By Dental Records|Notes.]]
