“…46 Although some authors 68,69 suggest that the largest portion of AMTL in archaeological populations may be attributed to carious lesions, along with some other pathologies like periapical osteitis and accumulation of calculus, others propose that during the medieval period factors such as gross attrition, periodontitis and trauma were major causes of ante-mortem tooth loss. 6,7,70,71 The Irish males exhibit significantly higher prevalence of alveolar abscesses in comparison to females. It is believed that main causative agents for the occurrence of abscesses in archaeological populations are penetrating and destructive caries with pulp cavity exposure, heavy wear and trauma.…”

“…The indirect effect of plaque accumulation and the extension can be augmented by the direct effects of toxic products retained with in calculus itself, 23,24 while a few studies did not notice this change within. 25 Radiographic bone loss may be an indication of periodontal disease; it does not discriminate between current periodontal diseases. Therefore, correct diagnosis of periodontitis requires concurrence of bleeding on probing and loss of periodontal support.…”

Objectives: To establish a normal range for the radiographic distance between cementoenamel junction and alveolar bone crest and the factors affecting distances for the early assessment of periodontal disease in Dravidian pediatric population.Methods: Fifty children aged 6 to 8 years were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clinical and radiographic examination was performed. All the surfaces were examined starting from the distal surface of primary canine to the mesial surface of first permanent molar. The various risk factors like plaque, calculus, proximal caries, restoration and bleeding on probing were recorded. A pair of bitewing radiographs was taken for each child. Bitewing radiographs were traced and analyzed.Results: It showed that CEJ-ABC distance in primary teeth is about 1 ± 0.5 mm. In the permanent teeth, it was found to be 0.6 ± 0.5 mm in 6 to 8 years age group. CEJ-ABC distance was also affected by different variables like physiologic (eruption and exfoliation) and pathologic factors (plaque, calculus, dental caries, restorations, stainless steel crowns, bleeding on probing and probing depth). Conclusion:CEJ-ABC distances greater than 2.5 mm should be considered under recall and follow-up. Children and adolescents susceptible to periodontal disease should be identified by radiographic means as early as possible in order to prevent the advance of an otherwise possibly destructive disease.

“…Studies on the skeletal remains of ancient populations in different regions of the world have all revealed that various forms of periodontal disease have afflicted humankind even before civilization (Clark et al, 1986;Kerr, 1998b;Whittaker et al, 1998;Shields, 2000;Shklar & Carranza, 2002). However, comparison of the results of these studies is difficult because of small sample sizes, individual variability of researchers, and mostly the differences in assessment methods.…”

“…Even in the absence of attrition, there is still some tooth eruption with increase in the lower face height (Whittaker et al, 1990). It is suggested that root exposure and the location of epithelial attachment on cement in elderly people does not always indicate the presence of periodontitis, and may reflect a natural compensatory masticatory phenomenon (Levers & Darling, 1983;Whittaker et al, 1998). On the other hand, several authors have suggested that apposition of bone accompanies continuous eruption (Newman, 2002) and the entire dentogingival unit including gingival and bone moves coronally, resulting in a constant distance between CEJ and alveolar crest in the absence of periodontitis (Needleman, 2002).…”

The science of anthropology obtains data on health, disease and death from ancient populations. Research on the skeletal remains of human teeth and surrounding tissues provides useful information on the evolutionary perspective of dental and periodontal diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and severity of periodontal diseases in the skeletal remains of 33 Assos inhabitants of the 4th century BC. Three age groups were constituted for the studied population. Periodontal disease status was determined based on the textural and architectural variations of the interdental septum and the extent of bone loss. It was found that the prevalence of periodontal diseases increased with age. The severity of periodontal bone loss also increased with age and the mean alveolar bone loss between age groups was statistically significant (P ¼ 0.004). This analysis of the dental health of ancient populations provides insights into the aetiology, patterns and distribution of periodontitis, which has a very complex disease pathogenesis.
