“…In a few civilizations such as the British, Greek, and Yayoi people in Japan, caries prevalence even increased dramatically within those regions. (Brothwell, 1959;Watson et al, 2010;Hamasaki & Takehara, 2012). Another evidence showed the prevalence of tooth loss during the same periods within British and Greek populations and deteriorating oral health in the Cambodian population (Brothwell, 1959;Watson et al, 2010;Newton et al, 2013).…”

Oral and dental health is strongly related with population and society in human history based on archaeological evidences. There is a growing concern toward oral and dental health which relates not only to individual but also population, as oral and dental health nowadays is sought as essential factor in determining life quality. The dynamic of oral and dental health is related to biological and cultural factors. Yet, these factors are predisposed by socioeconomic and demographic situation, diet pattern, technology advancement, as well as globalisation. Moreover, amongst those factors, human behaviour is the main attribute toward oral and dental health status. The era of ageing population is to be the next challenge for better oral and dental health status in the future.

Manifestations of periodontitis, the destructive form of periodontal disease affecting the alveolar bone, are often clearly recognizable in archaeological human remains. Analysis of this disease allows to obtain data not only about biological condition but also diet and nutrition of past populations. The objective of this paper was to asses periodontitis in the Polish urban population of Brześć Kujawski during Medieval – Modern transition (14th–17th centuries AD). An attempt was also made to explain the relationship between atrophy of alveolar bones and the type of diet. Lowering of alveolar crests was diagnosed based on measurements of the cementoenamel junction and the alveolar crest edge (CEJ– AC) distance and morphology of the alveolar edge. In studied population periodontitis affected 77.1% of individuals and 41.4% of all alveoli. Frequency, intensity and severity of the disease was higher in males and increased with the individual’s age. Severity of alveolar destruction was associated with dental calculus accumulation. It seems that a high prevalence of the disease may be, among others, result of carbohydrate-rich diet and fragmented food. Sex differences could be related to differences in diet (especially in protein intake) and hormone levels or lack of oral hygiene in part of the population.
