13. amazing really

The ability to get through likely plaque filled spaces from lack of floss in those days, with wire, and to hold what was likely two lost teeth due to accident is remarkable. From the enamel and the condition of the other teeth, I would say it wasn't from gum disease. I noticed the bone was thin or gone below the replacement teeth. Almost looks ground down, or as if from an accident. The two teeth with drillings might and are likely from a donor as they say. All in all, it is really advanced and rather remarkable.
