The study was carried out on 80 teeth (70 of permanent dentition and 10 of primary one) of mandibular and maxillary bones. The teeth owned to subjects lived in the III c.b.C. in Sicily, and they were found in Naxos necropolis. The teeth were examined as far as carious and non carious lesions, then they were prepared for instrumental analyses by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy dispersed X ray spectrometry (EDS). To an objective examination of the sample no caries were detected in the teeth sample apart one tooth, on the other hand there was an extensive occlusal abrasion, from a macroscopic point of view there were no difference as far teeth morphology. SEM examination pointed out all around dentinal tubules a circle of sclerotic dentin as reaction to occlusal wear. The amelocemental junction showed from a ultramicroscopic point of view an overlap of cementum onto enamel. EDS analysis pointed out a higher P concentration on the crown versus the root in all the teeth of the sample.
该研究对下颌骨和上颌骨的80颗牙齿（70颗恒牙和10颗乳牙）进行。这些牙齿属于生活在西西里岛公元3世纪的受试者，在纳克索斯墓地被发现。对牙齿进行了龋齿和非龋齿病变检查，然后通过扫描电子显微镜（SEM）和能量色散X射线光谱仪（EDS）进行仪器分析准备。对样本进行客观检查时，除一颗牙齿外，牙齿样本中未检测到龋齿，另一方面存在广泛的咬合磨损，从宏观角度看牙齿形态没有差异。SEM检查指出，在牙本质小管周围有一圈硬化牙本质，作为对咬合磨损的反应。从超微观角度看，釉牙骨质界显示牙骨质覆盖在釉质上。EDS分析指出，样本中所有牙齿的牙冠中磷的浓度高于牙根。
