Hitler's Dental Records
Upvote:0
Adding info to an old post for the record.
I was on a walking tour of Berlin today and the guide stated that they had Hitler's dental records before bridge work, and then went to the dental assistant for a drawing of the effects of the bridge work and used both sources as confirmation.

Considering it was Hitler's personal dentist who confirmed the identity of the jaw/teeth you really cannot consider it objective evidence. He would've been given instructions to that effect.

Facts
Wikipedia has a good account of the facts:
by 11 May 1945, the Soviets had already confirmed through Hitler's dentist, Hugo Blaschke, and his dental technician that the dental remains found were Hitler's and Braun's.
(as usual, you should check their references).
PS. In general, I don't think it is a good idea to rely on TV for any information.
Trustworthiness of the Soviet sources
In response to the discussion in the comments: of course Stalin lied quite liberally:
When President Harry S. Truman asked Stalin at the Potsdam Conference in August 1945 whether or not Hitler was dead, Stalin replied bluntly, "No".... For politically motivated reasons, the Soviet Union presented various versions of Hitler's fate. In the years immediately following 1945, the Soviets maintained Hitler was not dead, but had fled and was being shielded by the former western allies.
However, internally, USSR was perfectly sure that Hitler was dead and they shared the evidence with the West in early 1990-ies.
Common sense
Hitler was such an odious figure, that the idea that he could escape and live in obscurity is preposterous. His personality, as emerges from his public and, especially, private behavior, militates against such an attempt, let alone its success.
