You know how skeletal remains are often identified by dental records? Wouldn't it be fucked up if someone killed someone and then filed their teeth? (rather than just smashing that whole area and trying to dispose of the bits)
Imagine you're a forensic odontologist and are met with that. I'm not saying it would make the remains impossible to identify, it wouldn't, I'm just saying wouldn't that be weird?
Initially, I was thinking of like smoothing out their teeth, but what if they made different fake features.
Now, forensic odontologists use more than just the crown of the teeth, they have other information like dental radiography and stuff but I imagine that would throw someone off. Like, the rest is the same but the crowns of the teeth are different??? Is this a different person with coincidentally similar roots or...
