Dental Diseases and Other Insults to Teeth in Ancient Egypt
The objective of this article is to critically survey the literature of dental pathology in general and severe dental wear in particular. Dental wear was ubiquitous in the populations of Upper and Lower Egypt and we aim to show how other dental diseases are closely related to wearing down of teeth. Other diseases mentioned and discussed are caries, with special reference to the myth of the teeth-worm, periodontal disease, and hypoplasias. The cau…
The Significance of Palaeodontology in Revealing the Palaeodemography of Ancient Egypt
Palaeodemography, the means of amassing information from the teeth of the general population, is addressed in this study. Palaeodemography deals with the social characteristics of an ancient population and their development through time, in essence, the lifestyle of a population. The analysis and interpretation of dental data provided by the archaeologistâ€TMs discovery of human remains, specifically dental remains, will throw light on settlement…
Hidden Messages From Teeth of the Past Revealed; Palaeodontology in the Holy Land
To scholars who are concerned with biblical archaeology, the Late Bronze Age (LBA)–Early Iron Age (EIA) transition in the Southern Levant indicates the emergence of a new ethnicity. This would suggest an invasion of foreigners (i.e., Israelites) into the land of Canaan, in particular their settlement in the highlands surrounding Jerusalem.1 The settlement of the foreigners has long since raised the question whether it can be proven that the settl…

This article will confirm the first theorem, although, as in modern times, the Egyptian dentist may well have been both a dispensing practitioner, as well as an operative surgeon. Evidence from archaeological research, principally from the medical papyri, hierogl…
