Josef Fritzl's cellar lacked oxygen
By Tony Paterson in Berlin
The Telegraph
Last Updated: 6:56PM BST 10/05/2008

Police said the cellar was damp and covered in mildew and that as a
result its inhabitants were now suffering from fungal infections.

They said Elisabeth Fritzl, 42, and her children appear to have
survived entirely on deep frozen foods Fritzl bought at distant
supermarkets to avoid detection and that they are unlikely to have
eaten fresh vegetables.

I read in a German newspaper that Elisabeth has only three teeth left,
actually
stumps and they are black.

Even though it is expensive, she can get ceramic dental implants, and if she has dental records before her imprisonment, they can do pretty good copies of her teeth. The implants are attached to her jawbone, and I knew someone's father who got them over the years.. They aren't false teeth of the polydent ads..

I think the success of that kind of thing depends on how much the jawbone itself has receded. You know how many elderly people's mouth is sunk way in - it is more than just having their dentures out. The bone itself, when it is no longer required to support teeth, begins to diminish. After a while hooking anything into it, like tooth implants, is less likely to be viable.
