title: Dental restorations and artificial teeth in a Georgian population.
abstract: In the recent exhumation of a predominantly Georgian population at Christ Church, Spitalfields, 12 skulls showed evidence of dental restorations or artificial teeth. These have been described in some detail and the findings discussed in the light of current knowledge about practical dentistry in England up to the year 1852.
