| description |
The work aims to evaluate stress processes and dento-alveolar diseases in human groups that inhabited arid-semiarid environments of the inland and the coast of the eastern Pampa-Patagonia transition. It is proposed to discuss differences in dietary and physiological patterns, and adaptive processes to the socio-environmental context of hunter-gatherer groups during the Mid-Late Holocene (~6000-250 years BP / ~6700-320 cal years BP). 1513 teeth and 2162 alveoli were macroscopically analyzed, corresponding to 119 adult individuals of both sexes. Caries, dental calculus, periapical lesions, antemortem tooth loss, and dental wear were analyzed at the individual and dento-alveolar levels. The results indicate high degrees of dental wear, although a decrease in chewing stress processes is observed over time. The incorporation of pottery technology into culinary practices could facilitate access to a softer, more processed diet that slowed down the rate of tooth wear. Dental attrition constitutes the main factor in expressing the oral pathologies. The frequencies of lesions are similar between both sexes, although they vary depending on the age categories. No significant changes are observed in the manifestation of diseases of the oral cavity in human groups throughout the Mid-Late Holocene. |

El objetivo del trabajo es evaluar procesos de estrés y enfermedades dento-alveolares en grupos humanos que habitaron ambientes áridos-semiáridos del interior y la costa de la transición pampeano-patagónica oriental. Se proponen discutir diferencias en los patrones dietarios, en la adecuación fisiológica y en los procesos adaptativos al entorno socio-ambiental de grupos cazadores-recolectores, durante el Holoceno medio-tardío (~6000-250 años AP / ~6700-320 años cal AP). Se analizaron macroscópicamente 1513 dientes y 2162 alveolos, correspondientes a 119 individuos adultos de ambos sexos. Se relevaron caries, cálculos dentales, lesiones periapicales, pérdida dental antemortem y desgaste dentario a nivel de individuo y dento-alveolar. Los resultados indican elevados grados de desgaste dentario, aunque se observa una disminución de procesos de estrés masticatorio a través del tiempo. La incorporación de la tecnología cerámica en las prácticas culinarias pudo facilitar el acceso a una dieta más blanda y procesada que desaceleró la tasa de desgaste dentario. La atrición dental constituye el principal factor en la expresión de las patologías orales analizadas. Las frecuencias de lesiones son semejantes entre ambos sexos, aunque varía en función de las categorías de edad. No se observan cambios sustanciales en la manifestación de enfermedades de la cavidad oral en los grupos humanos a través del Holoceno medio-tardío. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o estresse e os processos de doenças dento-alveolares em grupos humanos que habitavam ambientes árido-semiáridos do interior e da costa da transição pampeana-patagônica oriental. Propomos discutir as diferenças nos padrões alimentares, na aptidão fisiológica e nos processos adaptativos ao cenário socioambiental dos grupos de caçadores-coletores durante o Holoceno médio tardio (~6000-250 anos BP / ~6700-320 anos cal BP). Um total de 1.513 dentes e 2.162 alvéolos, correspondentes a 119 indivíduos adultos de ambos os sexos, foram analisados macroscopicamente. Foram registrados cáries, cálculos dentários, lesões periapicais, perda dentária antemortem e desgaste dentário nos níveis individual e dento-alveolar. Os resultados indicam altos graus de desgaste dentário, embora seja observada uma diminuição nos processos de estresse mastigatório ao longo do tempo. A incorporação da tecnologia de cerâmica nas práticas culinárias pode ter facilitado o acesso a uma dieta mais macia e processada que diminuiu a taxa de desgaste dentário. O desgaste dentário é o principal fator na expressão das patologias orais analisadas. As frequências das lesões são semelhantes entre ambos os sexos, embora variem de acordo com as categorias de idade. Não foram observadas mudanças substanciais na manifestação de doenças da cavidade bucal em grupos humanos durante a metade do Holoceno tardio. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
