Dentition on Bahrain, 2000 B.C

K Højgaard

    Scandinavian Journal of Dental Research
    |December 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study examined ancient Bahraini teeth from 2000 B.C., revealing early wear, extensive cavities, and enamel hypoplasia, suggesting a carbohydrate-rich diet. Evidence of molar extraction due to caries was also observed.

    Area of Science:

    • Paleodontology
    • Bioarchaeology
    • Human Evolution

    Background:

    • Analysis of human remains from 25 burial mounds on Bahrain.
    • Dating of the skeletal material to 2000 B.C.

    Observation:

    • Estimation of the number of individuals from dentition.
    • Assessment of non-metric and metric dental traits.
    • Examination of teeth for wear, caries, fractures, calculus, alveoloclasia, and enamel hypoplasia.

    Findings:

    • Teeth exhibited Caucasoid, but not Mongoloid, traits.
    • Small teeth with significant early wear and high rates of carious lesions.
    • Frequent enamel hypoplasia and evidence of molar loss, likely due to caries.
    • Minimal calculus and alveoloclasia observed.

    Implications:

    • Dietary reconstruction suggests high carbohydrate consumption.
    • Dental health insights into the ancient Bahraini population.
    • Understanding of oral disease prevalence and management in ancient populations.
