Medieval Jaw Reveals Scotland's First Known Dental Bridge Made from 20-Carat Gold
The discovery of a fine gold wire woven between the teeth of a medieval man in Aberdeen has provided researchers with the earliest known evidence of restorative dentistry in Scotland. The intricate dental work, which functioned much like a modern dental bridge, sheds light on the extraordinary lengths to which people in the past would go to maintain their smiles and social standing.
The remarkable find was made during the reassessment of skeletal remains excavated from the East Kirk of St Nicholas Kirk in Aberdeen. According to a new study published in the British Dental Journal, the remains belong to a middle-aged adult male who lived sometime between 1460 and 1670 AD. While the individual suffered from generally poor oral health, including multiple carious lesions, it is the 20-carat gold ligature fixed to his lower incisors that has captured the attention of archaeologists and dental historians alike.
