Possible Further Evidence of Low Genetic Diversity in the El Sidrón (Asturias, Spain) Neandertal Group: Congenital Clefts of the Atlas
TLDR
The first cases in Neandertals of congenital clefts of the arch of the atlas are presented, which would fit the general scenario of high incidence of rare conditions among Pleistocene humans and the specific scenariothat emerges from Ne andertal paleogenetics, which points to long-term small and decreasing population size with reduced and isolated groups.
Skeletal Anomalies in The Neandertal Family of El Sidrón (Spain) Support A Role of Inbreeding in Neandertal Extinction
TLDR
At 49,000 years ago, the Neandertals from El Sidrón, with genetic and skeletal evidence of inbreeding, could be representative of the beginning of the demographic collapse of this hominin phenotype.
Evidence of toothpick groove formation in Neandertal anterior and posterior teeth.
TLDR
The results allow the identification and characterization of incipient toothpick grooves on the human fossil record and contribute to increase the knowledge on Neandertals behavioral and oral care habits.
Dental Abnormalities and Oral Pathology of the Pataud 1 Upper Paleolithic Human
TLDR
The Pataud 1 remains join a substantial sample of Pleistocene humans with congenital/developmental abnormalities, some of which (as in PataUD 1) consequently resulted in secondary abnormalities.
Ectopic maxillary third molar in Early Pleistocene Homo antecessor from Atapuerca-Gran Dolina site (Burgos, Spain).
TLDR
It is concluded that the most likely etiology for the ectopic position of the M3 is the lack of space in the maxilla, which is similar to that of an ectopic maxillary third molar in Homo antecessor.

Prehistoric dentistry? P4 rotation, partial M3 impaction, toothpick grooves and other signs of manipulation in Krapina Dental Person 20.
TLDR
The anomalous dental eruption features of the P4 and M3 are associated with several kinds of dental manipulations, which seem to have been palliative measures to “treat” the dental problems.

Oral pathology in the Iberian Neanderthals
TLDR
The specimen studied herein, a mandible catalogued as SDR 7-8 by the Forensic Laboratory in Madrid (Spain) and belonging to Homo neanderthalensis showed special characteristics of oral pathology, making it a specimen of great palaeodontological interest.
Experimental dentigerous cysts and enamel hypoplasia: their possible significance in explaining the pathogenesis of human dentigerous cysts.
TLDR
Experimental and clinical observations suggest that there may be at least two types of dentigerous cyst, perhaps with different causes, arising at different stages of tooth development, arising from odontogenic epithelium and enamel hypoplasia.
Variation in crown and root formation and eruption of human deciduous teeth.
TLDR
Stages of crown and root formation as well as eruption were assessed for each developing maxillary and mandibular tooth from radiographs or direct vision, and will be useful in assessing maturity and predicting age during early childhood.
Paleobiology and comparative morphology of a late Neandertal sample from El Sidrón, Asturias, Spain
TLDR
The large El Sidrón sample augments the European evolutionary lineage fossil record and supports ecogeographical variability across Neandertal populations.
Radiographic examination of dentigerous cysts in the transitional dentition.
TLDR
Inflammatory change at the apex of the deciduous tooth may bring on a dentigerous cyst of the permanent successor during the transitional dentition.
Fetal and infant growth patterns of the mandibular symphysis in modern humans and chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
TLDR
The results reveal that the symphysis is anteriorly inclined in the youngest chimpanzee fetuses but develops an increasingly vertical orientation up until birth, which could be a key event for emergence of the deciduous canine.

TLDR
The manual laterality attributed to eleven 49,000 old Neandertal individuals from El Sidrón cave (Spain) is reported, through the study of instrumental or cultural striations on the anterior dentition, and shows a predominant pattern addressed to right-handers, which support the early establishment of handedness in Homo sapiens.
