CASE 2

 

NEGATIVE IDENTIFICATION

 

This one is difficult, but look at the antemortem x-ray on the top right, and then the top two left teeth.  You will notice that on the postmortem version, these teeth are unfilled, whereas they are filled on the antemortem.  This is impossible, as teeth cannot heal themselves.  Remember though, that white fillings may not be as clearly visible on x-rays as regular amalgams!
