Today, dental pulp DNA, free from any dental pathology,
constitutes a remarkable means of investigation in odontology but
also in archeology. Indeed, numerous historical researches in
forensic dentistry use this scientific device in order to specify
different elements such as the origin of the body, its identification,
the cause of its death, its eventual filiations or even its place in the
long chain of the human evolution. Here are few historical
examples where dental pulp DNA gave extraordinary results.
