Abstract
The recovery of DNA from teeth is usually associated with the destruction of the evidential tooth using, for instance a special grinding mill. In some cases, however, a minimal invasive method of DNA retrieval with a high recovery is required particularly when historical material has to be investigated. A tooth attributed to the German Emperor Wilhelm II was the only source of DNA in an analysis of a possible paternity and the DNA had to be extracted without destroying the appearance of the tooth. Here, the results of the DNA analysis are presented.Mesh:
