| Summary: | Background. The study examines the odontometric parameters of adults of the
early Middle Ages who lived in Penza region. The relevance of the topic of odontological
variability is related to the need to understand the historical context of the lives of people
who lived in the early Middle Ages, as well as the adaptive mechanisms of the dental system
to changing environmental conditions and socio-cultural environment. The purpose of
the work is to collect data on the relative and absolute odontometric parameters of the adult
population of the early Middle Ages who lived in Penza region. Materials and methods.
The study materials were teeth of 40 adults, among them incisors – 68, canines – 47, premolars
– 95, molars – 129, stored in the anthropological laboratory of the sub-department
of Human Anatomy of the Medical Institute of Penza State University. The odontometric
study was carried out according to the method of A.A. Zubov and included measuring the
height, width, length of crowns and root, as well as calculating the massiveness and modulus
of crowns. Results and conclusions. The result of the study was to obtain and systematize
information on the odontological characteristics of anthropological material dated from
the 2nd – 4th centuries. Within the group the siza ratios of frontal and lateral teeth were established,
the parameters of scientific research aimed at studying the phylogenetic variability
of elements of the human dental apparatus, determining the level and direction of population
migration, and identifying phylogenetic kinship with remote populations were determined. |
