Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis in a British skeletal population

Abstract: The potential role of dental function in TMJ osteoarthritis is examined in an ancient British population. Human skeletal remains from five archaeological sites in England (n = 369) were studied to assess the associations between the presence of osteoarthritis and dental function variables, in particular antemortem tooth loss and dental attrition. Individuals aged over 17 years with at least a portion of either the left or right TMJ were included in the study. Each individual was scored for the occurrence of ar… Show more

“…10,28 Leek 10 in his study attributed this to altered mechanical function of the joint brought about by excessive tooth wear, which in some cases had resulted in a loss of vertical dimension. This is supported by fi ndings in other historical populations such as an investigation by Seward 29 who examined pre-colonial Aboriginal skulls, Hodges 30 in her study of ancient British skulls and Langsjoen 7 in his review of ancient diseases of the dentition. However, Whittaker et al 31 in a study of an ancient British population and Eversole et al 32 in investigation of a more modern collection were unable to Enamel hypoplasia is a fairly common occurrence in many ancient Egyptian teeth with Hillson 3,33 fi nding fi gures as high as 40% in skeletal samples from both Predynastic and Dynastic Egypt (Fig.…”

“…En este caso es probable que la edad haya incidido en los trastornos articulares y cambios entési-cos, actuando en forma conjunta con el estrés de las actividades cotidianas (Jurmain 1990). Respecto de las afecciones osteoartrósicas, la registrada en la mandíbula probablemente sea consecuencia de la exigencia masticatoria resultante de la masiva pérdida dental (Hodges 1991;Merbs 1983). Esto es compatible con la osteocondritis del cóndilo izquierdo, en cuyo lado el individuo presenta dos de los tres dientes activos y que debió ser la zona de masticación sometida a mayores esfuerzos mecánicos.…”

“…Persendian temporomandibular yang mengalami degenerasi biasanya memiliki kaitan dengan gangguan kesehatan lainnya, seperti osteoartritis dan atrisi gigi. Hodges (1991) menyimpulkan hal tersebut dalam penelitiannya terhadap rangka manusia dari lima situs arkeologis di Inggris. Penelitiannya didasarkan pada individu dengan umur lebih tujuh belas tahun ketika meninggal dan memiliki salah satu bagian dari persendian temporomandibular.…”
