• In contrast to the mandible, there are no caries or abscesses on the maxilla.

• Affected teeth tend to wear down rapidly leading to dental caries.

• Historically, artificial mouth models have been used since the end of the nineteenth century to investigate dental caries in vitro.

• The high frequency of caries likely suggests that these individuals were subsisting on a mixed diet.

• The same may be said of the relationship between diet and caries/ wear.

• Caries is formed by bacteria that are produced in dental plaque.

• For example, the amount of dental wear, frequency of caries, and calculus accretion were analyzed together because they are often related.

• An unanticipated byproduct of this extensive alteration was the introduction of caries and the formation of abscesses.

• Different paleopathologies were caused mainly by nutritional deficiencies (anemias); changes in infant metabolism (cranial hyperostosis); and infection or inflammation, including caries.

• Indeed, the frequency of caries in the sample was high (36.2% of the teeth).

• Solute gradients in oral biofilms also account for the local acidity that causes caries.

• This may provide an explanation for the positive correlation between the amount of sugar intake and the probability of caries development.

• As noted earlier, we cannot account for frequency of eating as a factor in caries occurrence.

• It should be noted that simply having a high-protein diet does not preclude the development of caries.
