Dental caries in skeletal samples from northeastern Slovenia = Karies v skeletnih serijah severovzhodne Slovenije
Leben-Seljak, Petra ; Štefančič, Marija, 17.06.1945-
Mankind has been accompanied by dental caries from Neolithic times onward. Ourpurpose was to present its frequency in three skeletal samples from northeastern SloveniaČ Brezje 1 near Zre~e and ...Ptuj-Caissa belong to the Late Roman period, while SrediŠ~e by the Drava river belongs to the Middle Ages. The individual count, tooth count and per specimen count methods were used to determine the prevalence of dental caries and ante-mortem tooth loss (AMTL), separately by sex, age, and tooth type for each sampleČ Comparisons with old Slavic populations from TurniŠ~e, Ptuj, and Brezje II were also carried out. The increasing trend of dental caries prevalence (tooth count) from the Roman period to the Middle Ages was confirmed. We found that the majority of skeletons from Ptuj-Caissa had affected teeth (2.5%). The prevalence was the same in all Old Slavic series (4.1%), while in the medieval sample from SrediŠ~e it was a little higher (7.1%). The only exception was the Late Roman Brezje I sample. We expected a similar frequency as in the contemporary samplePtuj-Caissa, but in fact it was the highest of all (14.8%). In contrast to the others, dental caries in the Brezje I sample was very common in all agecategories, including juveniles, and was observed on all types of teeth, not only on molars and premolars. We assume that the high frequency was more probably related to a genetic factor than to the different diet.
