Résumé
The histological identification of interglobular dentine (IGD) in archeological human remains with macroscopic evidence of rickets has opened a promising new avenue for the investigation of metabolic disease in the past. Recent paleopathological studies have shown that histological analysis of archeological human teeth may allow the identification of periods of vitamin D deficiency occurring within very narrow developmental windows, yielding new information on the seasonality or even maternal-fetal transmission of this disease. However, currently available techniques for recording IGD rely on subjective scoring systems or visual estimations, potentially leaving them open to inter and intra-observer error and rendering comparisons of datasets difficult. Here we describe a new imaging protocol that utilizes open access software and may yield more objective and quantitative data on the amount of IGD present within a dentinal region of interest. We demonstrate that grayscale histograms in FIJI®/ImageJ® might be used to provide less subjective estimates of the percentage of a region of interest affected by IGD. Application of this technique may enable more accurate comparison of datasets between researchers.
