French Aristocrat's Golden Dental Secret Revealed After 400 Years

Scientists have discovered the long-buried secret of a 17th-century French aristocrat 400 years after her death: she was using gold wire to keep her teeth from falling out.

The body of Anne d'Alegre, who died in 1619, was discovered during an archaeological excavation at the Chateau de Laval in northwestern France in 1988.

Embalmed in a lead coffin, her skeleton -- and teeth -- were remarkably well preserved.

At the time the archaeologists noticed that she had a dental prosthetic, but they did not have advanced scanning tools to find out more.

Thirty-five years later, a team of archaeologists and dentists have identified that d'Alegre suffered from periodontal disease that was loosening her teeth, according to a study published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports this week.

A "Cone Beam" scan, which uses X-rays to build three-dimensional images, showed that gold wire had been used to hold together and tighten several of her teeth.

She also had an artificial tooth made of ivory from an elephant -- not hippopotamus, which was popular at the time.

But this ornate dental work only "made the situation worse", said Rozenn Colleter, an archaeologist at the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research and lead author of the study.

The gold wires would have needed repeated tightening over the years, further destabilising the neighbouring teeth, the researchers said.

D'Alegre likely went through the pain for more than just medical reasons. There was huge pressure on aristocratic women at a time when appearance was seen as related to value and rank in society.

Ambroise Pare, a contemporary of D'Alegre's who was the doctor for several French kings and designed similar dental prosthetics, claimed that "if a patient is toothless, his speech becomes depraved", Colleter told AFP.

A nice smile was particularly important for d'Alegre, a "controversial" twice-widowed socialite "who did not have a good reputation," Colleter added.

War and widowhood

D'Alegre lived through a troubled time in French history.

She was a Huguenot, Protestants who fought against Catholics in the French Wars of Religion in the late 1500s.

By the age of 21, she was already widowed once and had a young son, Guy XX de Laval.

When the country plunged into the Eighth War of Religion, D'Alegre and her son were forced to hide from Catholic forces while their property was seized by the king.

Her son then converted to Catholicism and went to fight in Hungary, dying in battle at the age of 20.

After being widowed a second time, D'Alegre died of an illness aged 54.

D'Alegre's teeth "shows that she went through a lot of stress," Colleter said.

The researcher said she hopes that the research "goes a little way towards rehabilitating her".

Severe periodontal diseases are estimated to affect nearly a fifth of the world's adults, according to the World Health Organization.

i love the ancient roman history community on tumblr im glad theres a website where tags about it arent filled to the brim with neo nazis and white supremacy bullshit like twitter and facebook but i feel like im never truly a real participant in this community because im not a classicist like almost everyone else here. i dont study rome everyday i dont read ancient texts in latin for school im just some guy who got interested in it and will never be as knowledgeable as most of you about this subject. i fully understand why almost everyone else is a classicist it makes sense to talk about your studies that youre interested in and love i just sometimes feel like im from some separate group looking from the side

#my age also has to do a lot with this i think. most of the people here are usually in their late 20's and possibly have degrees in history #meanwhile im still in high school and when im finally out i will be studying dental prosthetics .

Dental Splints: Global Market Assessment and Growth Strategies

The global dental splints market size is expected to reach USD 693.0 million by 2030. It is generally acknowledged that oral health has a significant impact on general health. Maintaining good oral hygiene is just as important as caring for other body parts. People have recently come to understand the need of maintaining good oral and dental hygiene. The temporomandibular joint function, for example, and other diseases and treatment alternatives are becoming more widely known (TMJ).

This has given way to growth in the global dental splints market. Furthermore, health care professionals are working together in tandem to provide integrated medical, oral, and behavioral health care in community health centers, schools, medical care settings, nursing homes, as well as in dental clinics. They are also trying to improve access to care by creating a more qualified and diverse oral healthcare manpower, expanding insurance coverage, addressing the growing expense of dental qualification, and improving the overall affordability of oral care.

The prevalence rate of TMJ, temporomandibular joint, and muscle disorder is between 5-12%. Uncommon for chronic pain, the prevalence rate of TMJ disease is higher among younger individuals. TMJ disorders are more common in women compared to men, and women using either oral contraceptives or supplemental estrogen are more likely to seek treatment for these TMJ conditions. Millions of individuals globally suffer from temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ) which are characterized by joint dysfunction and pain. TMJ (ID), internal derangement is the most prevalent kind of Temporomandibular Disorder (TMDs), including 41.1% of patients with TMD. The TMJ condition affects an estimated 10 million Americans, roughly between the ages of 20 and 40 years old - and now those numbers are further growing.

The pandemic has resulted in reduced demand for dental products and equipment which had also impacted the new investment in dental education and the dental healthcare industry. Oral care products such as dental splints, mouth guards, etc. have also faced a low-level of sales and revenue in the first half of 2020 due to the disrupted supply chain of the product and lockdown restrictions in the country. However, in 2021, the market grew at a significant rate due to the covid-19 related stress disorder. COVID-19 outbreak had affected almost every facet of our living hood, and dentistry is no exception. Since stress is one of the leading causes of bruxism, it’s not shocking that it has been on the rise over the last two years. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been noted by the majority of dental practitioners that stress-related oral health disorders have dramatically increased. This has had a favorable effect on the dental splint market in 2021.
