For this purpose we compare the pathological conditions of teeth from skeletal remains dating from the Middle (Mediaeval) Ages (11th-15th century) with others of the Modern era (16th-18th century), sampled from historic cemeteries of north Iberia (Spain). Dental alterations like abscesses, periodontitis, calculus and dental wear, indicate oral hygiene and habits, and linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) is considered as an indicator of nutritional status. Significant decreases of LEH occurred in Modern Age individuals in comparison to Mediaeval values, suggesting the positive influence of increased diversity of nutritional resources mainly due to intercontinental (America-Europe) trade.
