- Abstract
In this study, the oral and dental health of the skeletons unearthed from 4 wells in Pisidia Antiocheia excavations (Yalvaç, Isparta) were examined. The wells found in 2013 were numbered as 33 and 39 and the wells found in 2014 were numbered as 65 and 75. There were 22 skeletons dated to the Byzantine Period (11-12th CE). 13 skeletons belong to adults, while 5 skeletons belong to non-adult individuals. The ages of 4 individuals could not be determined. Of a total of 306 teeth, 91.9% (281) are permanent and 8.1% (25) are decidious teeth. 28 (9.9%) permanent teeth belong to females and 108 (38.3%) permanent teeth belong to males. The gender of 145 (51.6%) permanent teeth could not be determined. Indicators such as calculus, caries, ante-mortem tooth loss (AMTL), hypoplasia, alveolar bone loss and abscess were evaluated. The percentages of the mentioned indicators above are as follows: Caries 7.47%; enamel hypoplasia 33.1%; calculus 42.7%; alveolar loss 45.2%; AMTL 8.9% and abscess 5.69%. Results were compared with other contemporary populations. The distribution of pathologies according to tooth types are as follows: In incisors calculus and alveolar loss, in canines enamel hypoplasia, in premolars caries, in molars AMTL and abscesses were more common. Distribution of the pathologies in the maxilla and mandibula, and also in the gender groups were determined. In the maxilla enamel hypoplasia, and in the mandibula AMTL were observed mostly. There was no significant difference in other pathologies. In males, caries, AMTL, abscesses, and in females hypoplasia, calculus, alveolar loss were more common. No dental pathology was found in the 25 decidious teeth.
