| Description | The present study aimed to compare of dental caries and LHPC (localised hypoplasia of primary canines) on deciduous and permanent teeth in male and female non-adult individuals of the Slavic population from the 9th to the first half of the 10th century CE in the South Moravian burial ground of Znojmo-Hradiště, Czech Republic. Sex of the 37 non-adult individuals was molecular-biological determinated. The macroscopy method was used to found dental caries, only the cavitations were count as tooth decay. LHPC was looked up via oblique light, zoom and stereomicroscope respectively. The differences between male’s and female’s oral health were statistically tested. The distribution of dental caries within male’s and female’s group shows clearly the worth oral health of girls. The differences between male and female carious teeth are statistically significant both, deciduous and permanent teeth. The incidence of LHPC in male’s primary canines is statistically significantly higher: 41.18 % of male’s canines were affected by LHPC, 20,83 % female’s canines were affected by LHPC. |
