RFID enabled tooth?

In Belgium, scientists at the University of Leuvenin have developed a RFID tooth which can help with identity management.

The tag is the size of a grain of rice and fits into your tooth just like a filling. Only, this 'filling' can also carry your personal info.

Yet to be named, the unnamed device was developed to help forensic scientists identify bodies after natural disasters and terrorist attacks with many casualities.

During test conditions, the chips withstood normal biting forces and worked even after being heated to 450C and cooled.
