Periodontal disease: considerable.
Six abscesses can be counted, all with a vestibular fistula:
1 – the cause of the loss of right I2 in a short time before death (alveolar edges are still
sharp),
2 - a sole large abscess in correspondence of upper right M2 and M3,
3 - in correspondence of upper right M1; this tooth rotated on its lingual root (working as a
swivel) and occupied the space of M2 (lost AM) with its vestibular posterior root completely
raised out of the alveolus, while the vestibular anterior one is lacking (Fig. 129.7).
4 - in correspondence of upper right I2
5 - in correspondence of lower left M1; only the lingual root remains.
6 - in correspondence of lower left M2
Calculus: considerable (Fig.129.8).
Malocclusion: lower anterior teeth crowded, with vestibular dislocation of left I2 and lingual
dislocation of left I1.

Shovel shape incisors not detectable.
Hypoplasia not detectable.
Occupational stress indicators and pathological aspects:
Pathological aspect of the scapular glenoids, mostly on the left side: marginal osteophytes,
porosity and sclerosis of the articular surface (Fig. 129.9); these signs can be associated to an
impingement syndrome resulted from the presence of os acromiale (see below). An erosive
area is present on the right side at the origin of the biceps tendon (Fig. 129.10); a similar
erosive area is also at the sternal end of the clavicles (Fig. 129.11).
