When someone burns in a car thier teeth are usually left. Is this the same for when a body is creamated? ARe the teeth just ground up?

No teeth burn as well, because they are only that hard in the outside crown, in the inside they are almost as soft as bone is, and bone cracks and burn just like the soft tissues of body.

Everything is burned or melted into a powder. If you dump out an urn, it's all ashes (if it is done correctly). What happens in the machine that cremates people is there are several blasts of fire, one right into the chest, and ones lower. It melts everything and burns everything into the powder you would see in the urn. These machines are incredibly high-powered, so if you're going to burn a body in a garbage can to get rid of evidence, you will have bones and teeth left.

They cremate bodies at thousands of degrees in temperature for a certain time. The death industry have the know-how to make sure nothing is left. Nothing but ash is left of you.

when you are cremated, it's too hot for anything in your body to withstand, so even the coffin will burn and you'll be just ash, but in a car accident and there would be a fire it might be possible for one's teeth to turn into ash, but it may be not hot enough.

I think they just take longer to burn...or if a high enough temp is used they burn quickly into ashes
