[Stomatological studies of a Neolithic population from the collective grave at Schönstedt in Thuringia]

Of 64 burials at the Schönstedt common burial-ground which dates from the neolithic age, 49 well-preserved dentitions were examined for caries incidence, periodontal disease, abrasion, hypodontia and polydontia, tooth alignment and occlusal position. The results obtained are discussed with regard to contemporaneous and modern conditions.
