Periapical lesions and their relationship with the subsistence´s practices in individuals of the Center-North of Mendoza during the Late Holocene

Agriculture has been a central issue in Mendoza´s archaeology, due to its socio-cultural implications and its effects on population health. However, there are few studies on dental periapical lesions (PL) that involve recent theoretical and methodological aspects. The aim of the paper is to analyze...

description Agriculture has been a central issue in Mendoza´s archaeology, due to its socio-cultural implications and its effects on population health. However, there are few studies on dental periapical lesions (PL) that involve recent theoretical and methodological aspects. The aim of the paper is to analyze the prevalence of the different PL in individuals of the Late Holocene of the Center-North of Mendoza, and its possible relation with the dietary transition. The sample included 26 skulls of adults corresponds to populations before and after agricultural intensification, Temporary Block I (before 1000 years BP, n = 20) and Temporary Block II (after 1000 years BP, n = 6), respectively. The presence and alveolar location of PL (granulomas, cysts and chronic abscesses) were estimated. Periapical lesions were identified in the 46.2% (12/26) of the sample, where 92% (11/12) belongs to the Temporary Block I. In these 12 individuals 30 PL were identified, of which the granulomas were more frequent (63.3%) than the cysts (36.7%). The alveoli of the maxilla were more affected (5.6%), with higher prevalence in molars (85.7%). There was a significant decrease in PL in individuals from periods where agricultural intensification occurred was observed. Therefore, PL seems to be associated with a hunter-gatherer economy, possibly related to the exposure of the pulp due to severe dental wear.

Un tema central en la arqueología de Mendoza ha sido la intensificación agrícola y sus implicancias socioculturales sobre la salud de las poblaciones humanas. A pesar de los estudios bioarqueológicos realizados, son escasos los análisis sobre lesiones periapicales (LP) dentales que involucran aspectos teóricos y metodológicos recientes. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la prevalencia de las diferentes LP en individuos del Holoceno Tardío del Centro-Norte de Mendoza, y su posible relación con la transición dietaría. La muestra incluyó 26 cráneos de adultos correspondientes a poblaciones previas (Bloque Temporal I; ca. antes de 1000 años AP; n=20) y posteriores a la intensificación agrícola (Bloque Temporal II; ca. después de 1000 años AP; n=6). Se estimó la presencia y ubicación alveolar de LP (granulomas, quistes y abscesos crónicos). El 46,2% (12/26) del total de los individuos presentaron algún tipo de LP, donde un 92% (11/12) pertenece al Bloque Temporal I. En estos 12 inviduos se identificaron 30 LP, de las cuales los granulomas fueron más frecuentes (63,3%) que los quistes (36,7%). Los alveolos del maxilar fueron los más afectados (5,6%), principalmente en los molares (85,7%). Se observó una disminución significativa de las LP en individuos de periodos donde se produjo la intensificación agrícola. Por lo tanto, las LP parecen asociarse a una economía cazadora-recolectora, posiblemente relacionada a la exposición de la pulpa por desgaste dental grave. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
