Dental characteristics: Right Left M3 M2 M1 P2 P1 C I2 I1 I1 I2 C P1 P2 M1 M2 M3 Maxilla P P P P P P P P P P P P P P P PM Mandibula AG P P - P - P P P P PM AM AM P P P Upper incisors have fractured edge, moreover they are worn almost until the roots. Periodontal disease: considerable. Calculus: Abundant (Fig.145.7). Occupational stress indicators and pathological aspects: Bones are robust and exhibit scarce enthesopathy. Exceptions are the severely degenerated attachments of subscapularis muscle (more generally the rotator cuff) on both humeri but more evident on the left one (Fig. 145.8), of the biceps on both radii (Fig. 145.9, 145.10). Vertebral arthritis: in the cervical segment the bodies are affected from C3 to C6, mostly C5, with shortening, porosity and lipping (Fig. 145.11, 145.12); in the thoracic segment the body shortening is asymmetric (T3 on the right side; T5 and T6 on the left side; T7 and T8 on the front part); the T8-T11 piece is the most affected (Fig. 145.13); also the costovertebral joint are affected; the lumbar segment is severely affected, with marginal lipping, erosion, osteophytes development, festooned appearance, longitudinal ligament ossification, body shortening, porotic and broaden diarthrodial facets; the anterior erosion of the adjacent edges of the bodies indicates probably a bony reaction to an anterior herniation of the disk (Fig. 145.14, 145.15). Also the sacrum right diarthrodial facet is sclerotic, porous and broaden (Fig. 145.16). Many joints are affected by arthritis, more or less severe: - left elbow shows exuberant marginal lipping and, besides, erosion areas on the articular surfaces of the radio head and humerus capitulum and trochlea (Fig 145.17); the right elbow is normal except the marginal lipping on ulna. - wrists are also severely affected; the appearance of the periarticular surface is grossly porous and swollen; the joints show marginal lipping , porous or eburnated surfaces and deformation (Fig. 145.18, 145.19, 145.20). - similar aspects can be observed on left acromion-clavicle joint (Fig.145.21, 145.22), while the glenoid joints of the scapulas are almost undamaged - hands are both affected: carpal bones have a swollen , perforated, porous, osteophytic and deformed appearance, as so as the metacarpal ends and the proximal end of the proximal phalanges (Fig. 145.23, 145.24, 145.25, 145.26, 145.27). 46
