Abstract
Cement-enamel junction to alveolar crest (CEJ-AC) distances were measured in Romano-British skulls. Measurements were also made of attrition patterns. The patterns of the two measurements were similar in each group, suggesting that teeth continued to erupt and CEJ-AC alone is misleading as a measurement of bone loss and may not relate to the extent of chronic inflammatory periodontal disease. Estimated bone loss was minimal, confirming that measurements of this nature on dried skulls should only be related to periodontal conditions with caution.
