Primerjava dentalnih bolezni med poznoantičnimi in zgodnjesrednjeveškimi prebivalci Pristave na Bledu : diplomsko delo

Rejec, Zala (author), Milavec, Tina (mentor), Leskovar, Tamara (comentor)

Pričujoča diplomska naloga preizkuša hipotezo, ki so jo med drugimi preverjali Belcastro in kolegi (2007) ter Šlaus in kolegi (2010), da je na prehodu iz poznoantičnega v zgodnjesrednjeveško obdobje prišlo do drastičnega porasta dentalnih bolezni, kot posledica spremembe v prehrani preteklih ljudi. Avtorica med seboj neposredno primerja rezultate analiz zobovja skeletov, ki so bili izkopani na območju Pristave na Bledu. Grobišče Pristava je ločeno na poznoantično Pristavo I in zgodnjesrednjeveško Pristavo II. Rezultati primerjave so pokazali, da je frekvenca pojavnosti kariesa višja na poznoantični Pristavi I. Frekvenca pred smrtjo izpadlih zob je bila višja na zgodnjesrednjeveški Pristavi II, prav tako je bila pri njih pogostejša periodontalna bolezen. Čeprav je bil karies pogostejši pri poznoantični seriji, je splošno stanje dentalnega zdravja slabše na zgodnjesrednjeveški Pristavi II.

• Title: Comparison of dental diseases among late antique and early medieval inhabitants of Pristava Bled

Abstract

This thesis tests the hypothesis, researched among others by Belcastro and colleagues (2007) and Šlaus and colleagues (2010), that the transition from the Late Antique to the Early Medieval period saw a drastic increase in dental diseases as a result of changes in the diet of past populations. The author directly compares the results of dental analyses from skeletal remains excavated from Pristava Bled. Based on archaeological findings, the Pristava cemetery is divided into Late Antique Pristava I and Early Medieval Pristava II. The comparison results showed that the frequency of caries was higher in Late Antique Pristava I. The frequency of antemortem tooth loss and periodontal disease was more common in the skeletons from Early Medieval Pristava II. Although caries was more frequent in the Late Antique series, the overall state of dental health was worse in Early Medieval Pristava II.
