Abstract

Periodontal disease has been one of the major oral health problems of the human race since the Stone Age. Many studies conducted on skeletal remains of populations from different time periods have established destructive periodontal diseases with alveolar bone loss and/or tooth loss. The aim of this review article was to present the studies that identified the severity and prevalence of historic periodontal conditions.
