Dental status and 3D reconstruction of the malocclusion of the famous singer Farinelli (1705-1782)

Here we present the study of the teeth and maxilla-mandibular region using classic and tomographic morphological methods. Considering the subject's age and the period during which he lived, his oral health conditions were good. On the basis of the very pronounced anomalous vestibular buccal wear, a overbite visualized by 3D reconstruction, was hypothesized. This facial disharmony is of particular interest when considering Farinelli's extraordinary singing qualities and stage presence.
