Two teeth are missing. The museum's dental collection has dozens of dentures made from these exact materials. When curators like myself find a cool object like this, with little identifying information to place it in context, we immediately have a lot of questions. What information can we glean from this artifact? Was it really lost at the Battle of Shiloh?
Who lost the denture? What do we know for certain about the denture? The denture was given to the museum in by dentist D. Crowson of Petal, Mississippi. In a letter to Curator Audrey Davis, Dr. Crowson wrote, "I have no history on this denture except I was told by the person who gave it to me that it had been picked up on the Shiloh battlefield site". When the Civil War began in , there were few university-trained dentists on either side of the conflict.
However, just as now, people suffered from tooth decay diseases that made dentistry as essential on the battlefield as on the home front. The surgical sets supplied to Union surgeons included dental tools for the extraction of teeth. Many of the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Shiloh had probably lost a tooth at some point in their lives, but false teeth would have been relatively rare, especially a denture of this quality.
Porcelain teeth were developed in 18th century Europe and brought to the United States in the early 19th century. The so-called "tube teeth," artificial teeth with a vertical hole in the center cemented to a metal post attached to the base of the denture, were developed in London around by Claudius Ash. Gold, silver, tin, lead, and eventually gutta-percha, a plastic cultivated from the sap of trees found in Malaysia, were also common materials used to form the palate in the 19th century.
That being said, it is possible that this denture was worn during the war, but how can we know for sure? Technology has given us some new tools to test our objects without harming them in order to do some material forensics. We took the denture to the lab to have Richwine analyze the metal content of the palate. The XRF found the palate was composed of silver, copper, lead zinc, and bismuth. The analysis showed that the palate was probably an alloy known as German silver, predominantly coin-grade silver, but mixed with small amounts of lead, tin, zinc and bismuth.
Richwine explained the trace materials would contribute to the malleability of the metal during processing. German silver was developed by a German industrial chemist named E. Geitner in the early 19th century and was often used in dental applications throughout the s. The six-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was excited when one of her teeth fell out after her brothers Maddox, 10, and nine-year-old Pax, told her to expect cash from the Tooth Fairy for leaving her incisor under her pillow - but the celebrity couple gave her a copy of the kids' version of Trivial Pursuit instead.
A family friend told the National Enquirer magazine: "Shiloh can be quite the traditionalist when it comes to some things, including the Tooth Fairy. They told her to expect a big wad of cash.
