Interpreting Oral Pathology at Machu Picchu, Peru

Abstract: This study analyzes oral pathological conditions-caries, antemortem tooth loss, and occlusal macrowearamong adults (N = 70) interred at Machu Picchu, Peru. Previous isotopic diet reconstructions at Machu Picchu suggest substantial early-life variation that may have narrowed somewhat by the last decade of life. This study seeks to further elucidate the intersection of diet, sex, and health at Machu Picchu by analyzing oral pathological conditions with existing carbon and nitrogen isotopic data. Observed caries … Show more

“…These conditions include porotic hyperostosis, cribra orbitalia, vertebral osteoarthritis, linear enamel hypoplasias, carious lesions, and ante mortem tooth loss. Most of these conditions are multifactorial and nonspecific in their causation; although this has sparked debate about how to interpret lesions such as porotic hyperostosis, recent research has underscored the potential of estimating group‐specific variation in causal mechanisms (Turner, ; Turner & Armelagos, ). Because they commonly manifest in skeletal populations, these pathological conditions provide useful criteria through which to compare stress and interpret nutrition, disease ecology, and activity across different temporal and geographic contexts.…”

“…Oral decay is most often attributed to a cariogenic diet such as one high in carbohydrates and low in animal protein, though it can be exacerbated in women by elevated levels of circulating estrogens (Goodman et al, ; Ortner, , pp. 589–606; Larsen, ; Lingström & Borrman, ; Turner, ).…”

“…Örneğin, aşındırıcı besinlerin tüketilmesi dişlerde ileri derecede tahribata neden olabilir. Dolayısıyla aşınmanın ilerlemesi diş pulpasını çıkarır, devamında yavaş ya da hızlı seyirli bir apse oluşumunun neden olduğu diş kayıpları meydana gelir (Turner, 2015;Lukacs, 2007). Bununla birlikte iyi rafine edilmiş yumuşak besinlerin -özellikle yoğun karbonhidratlı veya şekerli besinlerin-tüketimi çürük lezyonlarının oluşmasına neden olabilir (Turner, 2015;Ullinger et al, 2015).…”

Bu lezyonların dişin görünür kısmı olan mine tabakasını ve altındaki katman olan dentin'i tahrip ederek pulpa odasının ortaya çıkmasına neden olur (Turner, 2015).…”
