The Rich

Human remains are scarce in Australian archaeology, partly due to the nature of hunter-gatherer burials, as they are rarely found in concentrated numbers. These constraints have limited studies of diet, which have relied rather on the rich ethnographic and archaeological records. The relatively few direct observations of dental remains have emphasized the abrasive nature of the diet that caused a pattern of severe dental attrition, common in many hunter-gatherer groups. The results also point to variability between groups living in close proximity. To better understand the extent of dietary variation, we analysed the dental pathology and microwear features amongst two neighbouring groups of human remains in South Australia, examining the extent of heterogeneity within and between these populations. In doing so, we identified two potential confounders to analysis of diet from human dental remains: the nature of the sample itself and the extent of non-masticatory use of teeth.

The monastery of Attel, Upper Bavaria, which was founded in AD 1030, harbours a series of crypt burials from the time period between AD 1700 and 1750. Due to a restoration of the church, 16 crypts had to be removed and were subjected to an extensive anthropological-paleopathological and isotope analysis. The 16 crypts contained 19 burials in open wooden coffins. All bodies were covered by an extensive layer of calcium carbonate. Despite this “treatment,” bone and teeth were excellently preserved (mean degree of conservation > 75%, completeness > 85%). The anthropological investigation revealed a mean age of 38.5 years and a body height of 1.71 m. Paleopathologically, a surprisingly high rate of trauma was seen (13 injuries in 7 different individuals, i.e., 36.8% of individuals affected), 2 cases presented signs of extensive arthritis urica (gout), and several monks were affected by arthrosis of shoulder and knee joints. Extensive dental attrition, numerous foci of dental caries, and dentogenic abscesses coincided with considerable dental calculus indicating poor oral hygienic conditions. Stable isotope analysis showed adequate mixed carnivore-herbivore nutrition, comparable to that of contemporaneous upper class individuals. This extensive combined analysis provides considerable insight into the nutrition and disease pattern of a middle-class monastery of early 18th century South Germany.

Aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of prosthodontic methods of treatment based of functional diagnostic of patients with increased dental attrition Methods. We have examined 35 patients at the Smolensk State Medical University Hospital: 20 patients with increased dental attrition and 15 patients who didn’t have any sign of functional disorders of dentoalveolar and musculoskeletal system. The main group was divided into two subgroups. In the group 1 (11 patients) required a prosthodontic therapy included individual wax-up of future prosthetic construction based on data of functional diagnostic. An electromyographic study was conducted before and one month after treatment for determination of the effectiveness of treatment methods. Results. Analyzing and comparing the data of the electromyographic study 1 month before and after treatment of patients of the 1 group have shown 93,1 % effectiveness of the treatment and the control group. The results of the study show that such occlusion is optimal for the muscles and temporomandibular joint. Conclusion. Dental treatment of increased attrition of teeth based on functional diagnostic contributes to the normalization of muscles activity. Moreover it allows to protect teeth from attrition and providing effective rehabilitation of patients.
