This research studied an association between dental caries prevalence in the primary dentition and cribra orbitale, an indicator of nutritional stress in archeological populations. Skeletal remains of 221 British children (Pre-Roman to Late Medieval) were examined, of whom 100 had orbital material available. Dental caries, as dmfs, was related to the presence of cribra orbitale (none, slight, m...

Sample wafers of compounded dental gutta-percha and uncompounded dental-grade gutta-percha were compression tested to 20,000 pounds in uniaxial and triaxial systerns. Unrestrained flow in the uniaxial series prevented development of stress levels sufficient to produce molecular compression. Negligible molecular compression did occur in the triaxial series but only above a stress level of approx...
