“…For example, the distance between the CEJ and AC can increase because the teeth continue to erupt throughout adulthood (i.e., super-eruption) without simultaneous growth of the alveolar crest (Clarke and Hirsch, 1991;Hildebolt and Molnar, 1991). This super-eruption of teeth compensates for normal dental attrition that occurs with age and the effects of diet, and it maintains lower facial height and the occlusal level of teeth (Whittaker et al, 1990;Clarke and Hirsch, 1991;Hildebolt and Molnar, 1991;Varrela et al, 1995;Ogden, 2008). Another nonpathological process that can increase the distance between the CEJ and AC is the continued growth of the facial skeleton in adulthood, which also results in continued eruption of the teeth to maintain dental occlusion (Clarke and Hirsch, 1991;Hildebolt and Molnar, 1991).…”

Numerous studies have demonstrated significant associations between periodontal disease and many other diseases in living populations, and some studies have shown that individuals with periodontal disease are at elevated risks of mortality. Recent analysis of a medieval skeletal sample from London has also shown that periodontal disease was associated with increased risks of mortality in the past. This study examines whether periodontal disease is associated with periosteal lesions in a skeletal sample from the urban St. Mary Graces cemetery (n = 265) from medieval London. The results reveal a significant association between periodontal disease and periosteal lesions in the St. Mary Graces sample (i.e., individuals with periodontal disease were also likely to have periosteal lesions), and the association between the two is independent of age. The association between the two pathological conditions might reflect underlying reduced immune competence and thus heightened susceptibility to pathogens that cause periodontal disease or periosteal lesions, exposure to an environmental factor, or underlying heightened inflammatory responses.

“…Clarke y Hirsch (1991b) han planteado un modelo en el cual la dislocación, altas tasas de desgaste y abscesos se encuentran correlacionados. Cuando existen altas tasas de desgaste, se produce progresivamente la erupción continua de los dientes para mantener constante la altura facial y, consecuentemente, estable la función mandibular, ya que una brusca modificación del ángulo entre la rama ascendente de la mandíbula y la base del cráneo afecta a la articulación cóndilo-temporal y a la superficie oclusal de los dientes, alterando el patrón de masticación (Whittaker et al 1990). A partir de la erupción continua secundaria a la existencia de altas tasas de desgaste dental, los dientes -particularmente los molares-van perdiendo superficie de sujeción lo cual, sumado a las fuerzas de la masticación, llevan a que los dientes disloquen a la corona lingualmente y a las raíces bucalmente.…”

RESUMENEl objetivo de este trabajo es contribuir, desde la bioarqueología, a la discusión del modelo de intensificación económica y ampliación de la dieta de las poblaciones cazadoras-recolectoras tardías del noreste de Patagonia propuesto por diferentes autores. El presupuesto subyacente es que dicho proceso habría introducido cambios detectables en la distribución intra e interpoblacional de indicadores de salud y función oral. Para evaluar esta proposición, se analizaron las tendencias temporales en las prevalencias de distintos indicadores dentales y periodontales relevantes (caries, abscesos y pérdidas de dientes antemortem, alteraciones periodontales, dislocación de las piezas dentales y labiación del borde alveolar) en una colección formada por tres submuestras diacrónicas de cráneos procedentes del valle inferior del río Negro que cubren los últimos 3.600 años cal. AP. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las prevalencias de caries, alteraciones periodontales y labiación tienden a incrementarse a través del tiempo, mientras que las de pérdida de dientes antemortem, abscesos y dislocación tienden a decrecer. Tomadas en conjunto, éstas tendencias temporales son consistentes con la hipótesis de aumento en el consumo de recursos vegetales, particularmente de aquellos con potencial cariogénico (v.g. farináceos ricos en hidratos de carbono), con posterioridad al 1.000 AP.PALABRAS CLAVES: noreste de Patagonia, cazadores recolectores, salud bucal, sudeste de Pampa. ORAL HEALTH IN HUMAN SKULLS FROM NORTH-EAST PATAGONIA: TEMPORAL TRENDS IN DIET AND HEALTH STATUS OF HUMAN POPULATIONS DURING LATE HOLOCENE IN LOW RIO NEGRO VALLEY ABSTRACTThe aim of this paper is to contribute, from a bioarchaeological perspective, to the discussion about the model of economic intensification and diet broadening of hunter-gatherer populations in northeastern Patagonia previously proposed by different authors. The underlying presuposition is that such process would have detectable effects in the intra-and interpopulational distribution of health and oral function indicators. To test this proposition, we analyzed temporal trends in the prevalence of different dental and

“…In the original study (Wical and Swoope, 1974a), the individuals used for calculation of the ratio were selected only if certain criteria were met, such as having a full complement of teeth in a good arrangement, and a clearly visible mental foramen. No mention is made of the age range of the individuals who did fulfill the requirements, and so it is not known whether this ratio can be applied reliably to the aging population, which may experience continued apposition (Whittaker et al, 1990) or loss (Enlow et al, 1976;Ulm, 1989;Xie et al, 1996) on the lower border of the mandible throughout life. If this is true, one would anticipate the ratio of alveolar to basal bone to change with age, even without any changes occurring at the alveolar crest.…”

Following tooth loss, the mandible shows an extensive loss of bone in some individuals. This may pose a significant problem in the prosthodontic restoration of function and esthetics. The many factors which have been proposed as being responsible for the inter-individual variation in post-extraction remodeling mean that a perfunctory analysis of the literature, in which well-controlled, relevant studies are scarce, may not provide the whole story. This article reviews the local and systemic factors which may play a role in the post-extraction remodeling of the mandible. Since severe residual ridge resorption may occur even when the bone status in the rest of the skeleton is good and vice versa, it is concluded that local functional factors are of paramount significance. It is now essential to determine how they can be modified and applied to help maintain ridge height and quality in our aging, edentulous population.
