Abstract: The oral conditions of six human skulls in a tomb of the Western Han Dynasty found at Lopowan, Gui County, Guangxi in 1976, were observed.
The oral condition of F1, one of the six skulls, is most complex. She was with a opposing occlusion, the heavier caries, more co1nplex periodontitis and heavier dental wear.
The heavier dental wear of those younger specimens indicates that their foods were harder and rougher. The shovel-shaped upper incisors and the pattern of five cusps on lower second molar indicate that they belong to Mongoloid.
Besides we also found they had lower rate of the caries and periodontitis, higher rate of eruption of the third molar, of opposing occlusion, which probably are the main difference in mouth character between the people of the Western Han Dynasty and modern people.
