Teeth are an important part of human identification, a kind of archive of his life.
Identification of a person by teeth is actively used in forensic medicine, and archaeologists and anthropologists can use them to determine the age,
nutritional characteristics, time period, and even the area of an individual's habitat.
Just like retinas or fingerprints, teeth are unique. They have an individual size, enamel color, location and shape.
The metaphor of human identity is a complex mosaic image that includes personal beliefs, habits, values, mental characteristics, cultural and socio-economic contexts, as well as individual character traits and experiences. Whatever actions are taken to erase the personality, equalize it, bring it to absolute zero – all efforts will be in vain.
A person can be stripped of his name, but in essence he will not change, remaining a complex combination of unique components.
Something more than a name, passport details, stereotypes.
