anth 213 module 3 Flashcards
paleostomatology
mouth and teeth disease of past pop, reconstructing dental and oral health and diet
whats the advantage abt paleostomatology?
aint no pseudo pathology and markers r super specific
this thing comes from alveolar resorption caused by diet issues, deficiencies, periodontal disease, cavities, tooth removal, bruxism
ante mortem tooth loss
“alveolar bone is repeatedly resorbed by osteoclasts and renewed by osteogenic cells. This means that an old bone is constantly being resorbed and replaced by a new bone.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10044990/#:~:text=Periodontal%20diseases%2C%20also%20known%20as,replaced%20by%20a%20new%20bone.
alveolar resorption
from local demineralization caused by acid, bacteria, genetics, too much sugar, which is easy to identify and no taphonomies exist for this
dental cavity/caries
when minerals r removed from hard tissue, like teeth and shit
demineralization
describe the global trend of cavities/caries throughout the paleolithic, neolithic, and XVIth century periods
very few paleolithic, more in neolithic bc of more cereal and diet changes, even more since xvith century bc colonialism sugar and diet changes
pocket of pus in or near tooth bc of cavities/bacteria and can probs kill you
abscess
inflammation without infection around tooth roots bc of bruxism, intense chewing or dental wear
dental cyst
no dental cavity and no pus evac for the paleopathology ver of this disease
cyst
less enamel, proof of abrasive meal or bruxism, there was more b4 industrial revolution bc we eat chiller foods now
dental wear
involuntary tooth grinding
bruxism
inflamed periodontal area, gum loss, alveolar resorption but no tooth loss, caused by hygiene probs, bruxism, metabolic disease
periodontopathy
proof of a protein and meat lover, can analyze to find chem ele of fibers, ceral, pollen, other food
calculus/tartar
cementum develops around tooth root bc of biomech stress or inflammation, more common for neanderthals
hypercementosis
less enamel mineralization during tooth growth, proof of stress during early childhood but not specific
enamel hypoplasia
first molar/first incisor enamel dev issues, unknown cause, local dyschromia
dental hypomineralization
change in colour
local dyschromia
enamel base lesion without cavity/caries/infection caused by biomech impact, more common back in the day bc our food is chiller now
dental mylolysis
what r some weird anomalies that happen during tooth development leadin gto dental malformation?
enamel pearl, teeth fusion
at least 1 tooth in palate/between normal teeth, retain baby teeth
supernumerary tooth
weird alveolar bone growth of mandible, prone for asians, caused by genetics and used to link family members together
mandibular torus
name all esthetic cultural teeth practices
filing, sharpening, incrustation
cultural teeth practice bc of specific use of mouth and teeth linked to diff jobs
functional
name 2 examples of med treatment for cultural practices on teeth
ligature w metal wire, metallic implant
how od we determine age of skeleton
tooth eruption, coffin size, how many adult-sized bones were in coffins w bones n teeth
who empirically have much larger teeth than others, and have to be excluded from determining age based on tooth size?
aussie aboriginals
what causes brown staining on teeth?
smoking/chewing tobacco
what should we not do when tryna analyze structural and cultural violence?
assume that no direct evi means there was no violence
what happened to bones of binded feet?
rotated or lost, not deformed
what was more common among women w binded feet?
more low femoral neck bone density, osteoporosis, healed fractures, hip fractures bc of falling from tiny feet instability
where do women w neck rings come from? (DOUBLE CHECK THIS W READING NOTES*)
padaung
where on the body was there direct evi for neck rings?
maxillomandibular facial dimensions
what r risks for neck rings, corsets and foot binding? (the second one is only for neck rings and foot binding btw)
immobilization and low bone density
what shape were the pelvi of women wearing corsets?
figure 8
chem rxn that preserve life via synthesis and degredation
metabolism
fucked up metabolism bc of genetics or acquired condition
metabolic disease
metabolism that leaves traces on bones
phospho-calci metabolism
what hormones control phospho calcic metabolism?
vit d, pth, calcitonin
hormone controling osteoblast activity
calcitonin
hormone controling osteoclast activity
parathyroid hormone
hormone controling mineralization and metabolic reg of calcium and phosphorus
vit d
these 2 disesases r caused by vit d deficiency bc of diet or genes
rickets in kids, osteomalacia in adults
semiology/symbols of rickets: default of mineralization of the bony matrix
▪ ______ of bone extremities due to mechanical loads
▪ ______________ of long bones
▪ ________ growth area
▪ Bone fragility and ____________
▪ Default of dental mineralization : _________
▪ Wide _______________________
rickets: widening, axial deformation, porous, pseudofracture, hypoplasia, dental pulp cavities
incomplete development of organs/tissues
hypoplasia
how do we usually identify rickets in osteoarchaeology
looking at residual bending deformity in long bones
deformation in osteomalacia is ______ bc it needs strong deformation during growth
rare
osteomalacia has the same sings as osteoporosis but w ___________ too
pseudofracture
osteomalacia diagnosis is not the same as vicious callus type ok if you agree
ok
vascular disease caused by no vit c and fragile blood vessels
scurvy
semiology of this disease:
- bleeding and _________
- ___________
- new ________ formation
- high _________ and _______ _____________
- deformation of _____ _______ extremities and radiographic “_______ ______”
- ______ loss and __________ ______________
scurvy: osteopenia,inflammation, bone, porosity,cribra orbitalia, long bone, scurvy lines, tooth, alveolar resorption
which two diseases can coexist during childhood?
rickets and scurvy
what disease has less bony matrix mineralization
rickets
what disease has less bony matrix formation aka ob activity and as a result has shit skel conservation bc of the porosity and bc of that, it’s easier to analyze teeth instead bc theyre super super obvi
scurvy
semiology of this anemia:
- widening ________ _______ and narrower _______ ______
