Database NNT05b Codebook (web ver. 1.0) of Individual Records of Pathological Conditions in Permanent Dentition

Note: Although children are listed in this database, no pathological conditions were scored for children's permanent dentition.

     Explanation of Abbreviations and Codes

     SPECID = Individual Burial Number
         First number is excavation locale
             NNT1 = 1966 excavation
             NNT2 = 1968 excavation

         followed the burial identification number.
            Example: NNT1-014 is First Season NNT Burial 014

     AGE
	1 YG ADULT = Young Adult (20-35 years)
	2 MIDAGED = Middle-aged Adult (35-50 years)
	3 OLD = Old Adult (50+ years)
	4 ADOL = Adolescent (15-20 years)
	5 CHILD = < 15 years
    	6 INFANT = 0-1 years
    	7 ADULT = 20-50 years
    	8 SUBADULT =  <20 years
        
     SEX = Sex of individual, ?female coded as FEMALE, ?male coded as MALE

     SITE = Site of excavation

     YEAREXAM = Year burial was examined

     INSTCODE = Institution where burial was examined
         SIR = Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand
         UNL = University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA


     These data follow the dental arcade beginning with the upper left third molar to the upper right third molar followed by the lower left  third molar to the lower right third molar.

     The field names consist of the pathology code given below, followed by the tooth code:
    
         The first letter is the jaw location U = upper, L = lower;
         The second letter is the side R = right, L = left;
         The last letters are the tooth (e.g., M3 = third molar).

     CAL = Calculus
         0 = none
         1 = slight
         2 = moderate
         3 = marked

     RES = Resorption
         0 = none
         1 = slight
         2 = moderate
         3 = marked

     ROLL = Rolled rim
         0 = none
         1 = slight
         2 = moderate
         3 = marked

     HYPO = Hypoplasia
         0 = absent
         1 = slight
