Agreement in the Scoring of Dental Caries by Dentists and Anthropologists

Original language description

Correct scoring of caries lesions is a fundamental step in the bioarchaeological investigation of past populations. The present and the extension of caries lesions inform us about past subsistence and diet, human behaviour, social inequality and overallhealth status through time. We asked ourselves how relevant an interpretation of a past society's dependence on dental caries identification might be with an interest in demonstrating the quality of the primary data and the need for precise evaluation. We tested an assessment agreement of dental caries among observers from different subject fields. Two dentists and two anthropologists visually investigated 233 teeth and 3029 teeth surfaces from archaeological samples at the Plzeň "U Zvonu" cemetery dating to medieval and early modern times. We made use of Cohen kappa and Fleiss' kappa to calculate the inter-observer and intra-observer agreement. The results indicate that the overall prevalence of dental caries in the tested assemblage r
