The majority of dental carie studies over the course of historical period underline mainly the prevalence evolution, the role of carbohydrates consumption and the impact of access to dietary resources. The purpose of the present investigation was to compare population samples from two archaeological periods the Chacolithic and Middle Age taking into account the geographical and socio economical situation. The study concerned four archaelogical sites in south west France and population samples an inlander for the Chalcolithic Age, an inlander, an costal and urban for the Middle Age. The materials studied included a total of 127 maxillaries, 103 mandibles and 3316 teeth. Data recorded allowed us to display that the Chalcolithic population sample had the lowest carie percentage and the rural inlander population samples of Middle Age the highest; in all cases molars were teeth most often affected. These ones differences could be explained according to time period, carious lesions were usually less recorded in the Chalcolithic Age than the Middle because of a lesser cultivation of cereals like in les Treilles Chacolithic population sample. In the Middle Age population samples, the rural inland sample Marsan showed the highest frequency of caries and ate more cereal than the coastal Vilarnau and the poor urban St Michel population samples, the first one ate fish and Mediterranean vegetal and fruits and the second one met difficulties to food access, in both cases the consumption of carbohydrates was lesser than Marsan population sample who lived in a geographical land convice to cereals cultivation.
在历史时期的大多数龋齿研究主要强调患病率的演变、碳水化合物摄入的作用以及获取饮食资源的影响。本研究的目的是在考虑地理和社会经济状况的情况下，比较两个考古时期（新石器时代和中世纪）的人群样本。该研究涉及法国西南部的四个考古遗址以及人群样本，新石器时代有一个内陆样本，中世纪有一个内陆样本、一个沿海样本和一个城市样本。所研究的材料包括总共127块上颌骨、103块下颌骨和3316颗牙齿。记录的数据显示，新石器时代人群样本的龋齿百分比最低，中世纪农村内陆人群样本的龋齿百分比最高；在所有情况下，磨牙是最常受影响的牙齿。这些差异可以根据时间段来解释，由于像莱斯特雷伊新石器时代人群样本那样谷物种植较少，新石器时代的龋齿病变记录通常比中世纪少。在中世纪人群样本中，农村内陆样本马尔桑的龋齿发生率最高，其食用的谷物比沿海的比拉诺和贫困的城市圣米歇尔人群样本更多，前者食用鱼类、地中海蔬菜和水果，后者在获取食物方面遇到困难，在这两种情况下，碳水化合物的摄入量都低于生活在适合谷物种植的地理区域的马尔桑人群样本。
