Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the quality of mandibular bone using CBCT images in archeological populations that inhabited Croatia from the medieval to the Early Modern Period. A total of 88 human skulls (45 male and 43 female) from three samples (pre-Ottoman (N = 27), Ottoman (N = 32), and Vlach (N = 29)) were analyzed by using CBCT. The mental index, gonion index, antegonion index, panoramic mandibular index, degree of resorption of the alveolar ridge, and cortical index of the mandible were evaluated using the OnDemand3DApp. The results showed an expected higher value of cortex thickness in males when compared to females. Females in the younger groups had higher values of cortical thickness than those in the older age group. The Ottoman sample had significantly lower values of mandibular indices than the other two samples. There were no age-related differences in bone thickness in males, suggesting that hormonal changes have a stronger influence in females. Lower values of mandibular indices in the Ottoman sample may be an indicator of specific factors that influenced this population. Our study of bone changes in archeological populations with different living conditions may contribute to a better understanding of impact of biocultural factors on physiological and pathological processes, which are extremely complex in bone tissue.

克罗地亚三个历史骨骼系列在下颌骨质量方面的异时空比较

本研究的目的是利用 CBCT 图像评估克罗地亚中世纪至现代早期考古人群的下颌骨质量。我们使用 CBCT 分析了来自三个样本（前奥托曼时期（27 个）、奥托曼时期（32 个）和瓦拉几时期（29 个））的 88 个人类头骨（45 个男性和 43 个女性）。使用 OnDemand3DApp 评估了下颌骨的精神指数、龈弓指数、前龈弓指数、下颌骨全景指数、牙槽嵴吸收程度和皮质指数。结果显示，与女性相比，男性皮质厚度的预期值更高。年轻组女性的皮质厚度值高于老年组。奥托曼样本的下颌骨指数值明显低于其他两个样本。男性的骨厚度没有与年龄相关的差异，这表明荷尔蒙变化对女性的影响更大。奥斯曼人样本中下颌骨指数值较低，这可能是影响该人群的特定因素的指标。我们对具有不同生活条件的考古人群骨骼变化的研究可能有助于更好地理解生物文化因素对生理和病理过程的影响，而这些过程在骨组织中极其复杂。
