Abstract
Forensic odontology in individual identification has been progressing rapidly and its significance has been increasing. But not all individual identification can be done single method solely. Therefore, understanding the advantage and disadvantage of each method is necessary to achieve forensic individual identification properly in each case for it to be applied promptly, economically and precisely. Now We have identified almost 20 case in Busan and Kyeong Nam area in 2008, 2009 and we would like to report some of cases. Finally We will consider role of forensic odontology.
