Abstract
Dental markers have been used to unravel particularities of paleodiet, subsistence, social structure, and health.Palaeopathological findings on teeth are impotant datas that is referenced reveal how life and habit of feeding of archaic people. For this purpose, we have examined jaws and teeth of Iasos people of Byzantine period, and lesions which caries, dental attrition, abscesses, periodontal diseases (alveolus bone loss and calculus), hypoplasia, antemortem tooth loss. The frequencies of observed diseases have been discussed between the sexes and age groups, and dental health profile of Iasos people has been exhibited according to some other societies of the same age.In this study, it has been examined 117 deciduous teeth and 1374 permanent teeth. Dental attrition in adults was identified as 96,87%, and detected in 3 scale. Dental attrition of decidious teeth was identified as 94,87%, and detected in 1 scale. It was observed that scale was lower than some other Anatolian societies. Caries in adults was identified as 5,38%. According to some other Anatolian societies of the same age, this rate is lower. It is observed that the rate of caries in females was higher than in males, and the cheek teeth are involved much more frequently than the anterior teeth. Abscess in alveolus of permanent teeth was identified as 2,1%. It is reported that percentage of abscess in female is higher than in males. Periodental diseases as dental calculus (50,8%) and alveolar bone loss (85%) have high values when compared with most of other Anatolian societies of the same age. The percentage of antemortem tooth loss is observed as 13,87%. The lesion in females was appeared to have high values when compared with males. Hypoplasia was identified as 15,43%. This rate is similar to some other Anatolian populations. The lesion was detected to be higher in the female when sexes comparison was made. When decidious teeth is examined, it has been detected the hypoplasia especially effected children of between 1,5 and 3 age.The percentages of caries and calculus demonstrates that Iasos people also consumed foods contained carbonhydrates besides eating fish and similar foods. The proportions and shapes of teeth attritions in this society indicated teeth was used such as tools. Lesions as caries, calculus, abscess and antemortem tooth loss are particularly higher in females refer to be consumption of different foods between the sexes. Periodontal diseases and antemortem tooth lose are related to other lesions show that dental health of this population was not in good condition.
