a Male that died in mid summer: retreated lingual margins of the palate; palatal perforations from thinning; partially exposed dental roots (arrow, bottom). Vanished alveoli on the right side with M2 and M3 very loose, whereas M1 and premolars directly fall out (top). Moreover, roots of the M1 and P4 are covered with solid exostosis (insert). b Male that died at the end of autumn: retreated maxillary line on the buccal side, resulting in partially exposed dental roots; extremely thin and even absent maxillary buccal walls, with roots partially exposed in 50% of maxillary teeth; mandibular alveoli for incisive teeth are thin walled and so short that the upper 40% of the roots are exposed. c Male that died in early summer: retreat of both lingual margins of the palate, resulting in exposed dental roots, and palatal perforations from thinning; alveoli and maxillary wall so reduced on right side has that molars are completely loose; roots covered with solid exostosis. d Male that died at beginning of spring: had lost 7 of 8 incisors in vivo; receded bone around maxillary roots which are exposed, loss of all right maxillary premolars; mandibula with depression containing pus and perforations; left mandible with severe exostosis on buccal side and bone resorption including perforations on buccal and lingual side
