Not to be gross, but while the body may be burned, the teeth may still be useful.

I know there are ways to id a body, but the article said that the body had been burned beyond recognition. To me, this means that the authorities either are not bothering to id it positively or there was nothing left but ashes. You're right, though the dentition might still be intact, or it might be just a bunch of loose teeth.
