Abstract
Authors observed 12 cases among the 46 corps which are died from 'charring', caused by traffic accident, for the purpose of individual identification. Concerning to the method of identification, authors took the dental hard tissue which is high in resitance to heat, using the method of Forensic Odontology and got a good results from it. In this inspection, we observed 'pugilistic posture' which results from heat coagulation & shrinkage of muscular bundle with predominance of the stronger flexor muscles. On the other hand, there appeared the fact that hair is more resistant to heat than skin or muscle.
