“…5,10,27,34,35 So this review has been able to highlight that the various pathological and non-pathological conditions of teeth, which are evident in dentitions in the twenty-fi rst century, were also manifest in ancient Egypt, although the incidences of these conditions varies considerably between the civilisations. The results of the numerous surveys into the dentitions of the ancient Egyptians also indicate 1,5,18,34,36,37 that oral health was poor, and with little evidence of dental care, infection and dental pain must have been widespread.…”

In ancient Egypt the exceptionally dry climate together with the unique burial customs has resulted in the survival of large numbers of well-preserved skeletal and mummifi ed remains. Examinations of these remains together with an analysis of the surviving documentary, archaeological and ethnographic evidence has enabled a detailed picture of the dental health of these ancient people to be revealed, perhaps more so than for any other civilisation in antiquity. In this, the fi rst of two articles, the dental pathological conditions that affl icted the ancient Egyptians is considered. The commonest fi nding is that of tooth wear, which was often so excessive that it resulted in pulpal exposure. Multiple abscesses were frequently seen, but caries was not a signifi cant problem. Overall the fi ndings indicate that the various pathological conditions and non-pathological abnormalities of teeth evident in dentitions in the twenty-fi rst century were also manifest in ancient Egypt, although the incidences of these conditions varies considerably between the civilisations.

“…In all, very few cases of metastatic carcinoma in archeological skeletons have been recorded (Brothwell and Sandison, 1967;Cassidy, 1977;Gejvall, 1960;Gregg et al, 1982;Hooton, 1930;Mdller and Mdller-Christensen, 1952;Nielsen, 1970;Satinoff, 1972;Steinbock, 1976;Strouhal and Vyhnanek, 1981;Wells, 1963;Wells, 1964). These cases all show an osteolytic reaction.…”

“…Practically all of these metastases are lytic, but more recently a mixed metastatic reaction I _ has been reported in a leper skeleton (Ortner et al, 1991). Prior to our example, only three cases present with increased bone COMPARAT'VE PALAEOPATHOLOGICAL EVIDENCE A search of the palaeopathological literature has shown that several examples of metastatic carcinoma are known from archaeological contexts (Allison et al, 1980;Blondiaux, 1984;Brothwell, 1967;Cassidy, 1977;Dastugue, 1965;Gejvall, 1960;Gladykowska-Rzeczycka, 1991;Gregg et al, 1982;Grmek, 1976;Grupe, 1988;Manchester, 1983;Mpiller and Mpiller-Christensen, 1952;Mpiller-Christensen, 1958;Ortner and Putschar, 1985;Pahl et al, 1984;Satinoff, 1972;Soulie, 1980;Steinbock, 1976;Strouhal, 1989Strouhal, , 1991Strouhal and Vyhanek, 1981;Tkocz and Bierring, 1984;Tyson and Dyer Alcauskas, 1980;Waldron, 1987;Wells, 1964). In some of these cases a firm diagnosis of secondary metastatic carcinoma is not possible due to the similarity of quantity, suggestive of a prostatic focus (Ortner and Putschar, 1985;Suzuki, 1989;Tkocz and Bierring 1984).…”
