Spradon Antik Kenti Toplumunda antemortem diş kayıplarının yaş ve cinsiyet ile ilişkisi
The Relationship of Antemortem Tooth Losses With Age and Gender in The Ancient Spradon Population

Summary/Abstract: Antemortem tooth loss, which is defined as the loss of a tooth during an individual's life, is mostly caused by dental pathologies such as tooth decay, tooth erosion, alveolar bone loss, as well as trauma. In the study, a total of 1344 alveolar sockets belonging to adult male and female individuals were examined and antemortem tooth loss was detected at a rate of 7.06%. Tooth loss rates were evaluated in terms of age and gender, and possible causes of antemortem tooth loss were investigated. Considering the tooth decay rates of the Spradon Ancient City Population, it is thought that it is fed mostly with carbohydrate foods and dental pathologies are effective in the formation of tooth loss before death. In addition, there has been an increase in the rate of antemortem tooth loss with age in the population. This situation, which was determined in the studies of other researchers, has preserved its validity in the Spradon Ancient City Population. It has been stated in various studies that antemortem tooth loss is seen at a higher rate in female individuals compared to male individuals. However, in the Spradon Ancient City Community, there was no significant difference between male and female individuals.
