Are the children sinful for not removing their deceased father's dental prosthetics before burial?
It is not obligatory to remove the artificial teeth from the deceased, whether they are gold or not. Rather, it is not permissible to remove them, as it constitutes mutilation of the deceased and disfigures the deceased's appearance. There is no sin upon whoever does not remove them.
