They tell us one was a Nubian, and the other was most closely related to Europeans…
Please note that the mummified face reveals that the young king had an open bite and the 'overbite' which was characteristic of the Thutmosid royal line to which King Tut belonged…
The term “dental anthropology" first appears in the title of an article published in 1900 by George Buschan, although Klatsky & Fisher are credited with its formal introduction…
Craniofacial variation and dental occlusion have been of major interest to the dental profession, especially the orthodontic specialty, and physical anthropologists…
Both professions have produced an extensive bibliography concerning tooth size, tooth morphology, dental maturation, eruption sequences, dental occlusion, disease, anodontia, pathologies, etc.
Harris and Souers [1976], in a cephalomoletric study of the classification of malocclusion and pathology in almost 500 Nubian schoolchildren between the ages of 13 and 18 years, noted that 86% were class I (bimaxillary protusion), 12% class II (molars in an end-to-end relationship or the upper jaw forward compared to the lower jaw), and 2% class III (the lower jaw forward compared to the upper jaw)
In the field study of 1988 Harris noted that 90% of the schoolchildren of Abu Simbel village had class I molar relationships and only 10% had either class II or class III molar relationships…
Class I malocclusion refers to a dental classification where the upper teeth slightly overlap the lower teeth, which is considered the ideal or normal relationship between the upper and lower jaws…
Bimaxillary protrusion implies that both the upper and lower jaws exhibit a forward or protruded position, leading to the teeth being more prominent or forward-facing than what might be considered typical…
This study highlighted a prevalent dental pattern among the Nubian children examined at that time…
