Abstract

One of the characteristics of the diet in the capital of New Spain is a high consumption of flour and sugar cane. In this contribution a macroscopic study in 38 skeletons found inside San Jeronimos´s church was done in order to evaluate some traits of the buccal health pattern. The prevalence of dental loss and caries suggest to be related to the ingestion of these carbohydrates.
