摘要:

AbstractEight hundred and ninety‐four inpatients in four hospitals in Edinburgh were assessed for oral care maintenance and dental needs during their hospitalization. The data were used to estimate future inpatients' dental requirements and the hospital dental services which would be necessary to meet these needs. Seventeen percent of the sample was found to be suffering from pain or discomfort of dental origin and over 30 % were considered to require some form of dental treatment before their expected date of inpatient discharg

摘要:

AbstractThis study compared caries inhibition in children by an amine fluoride and an acidulated phosphate fluoride when administered in a topically applied gel. In addition, the effects of applying amine fluoride daily and weekly were compared. Four hundred and sixty‐eight children, ages 6 to 13, were randomly assigned to one of five treatment groups and received a total of five, 5‐minute treatments. The treatment and interval between each of the five treatments were as follows: (A) acidulated phosphate fluoride daily, (B) amine fluoride daily, (C) amine fluoride weekly, (D) placebo daily, and (E) placebo weekly. When the children were examined for total Decayed, Missing, and Filled Surfaces (DMFS) increments 2 years later, no significant differences were observed. However, when the data were examined for effects on DMFS for a specific tooth surface, significant restriction (61 %) of occlusal increment was shown in the group which was treated with amine fluoride daily for 5 consecutive days as compared with the control gr

摘要:

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to assess the cleaning effect of dental floss and toothpicks on interproximal surfaces. The plaque situation was assessed in a group of children 12–13 years of age by the Patient Hygiene Performance Index (PHPI). It was found that dental floss has a greater plaque‐removing effect of the interproximal areas than toothpicks, predominantly on the mesial surfaces of the te

摘要:

AbstractThe release of fluoride from a fluoride‐containing bone meal tablet and a chewable sodium fluoride lozenge to 0.5 M perchloric acid, deionized water, and saliva was compared. In acid, all the fluoride was released from the bone meal tablet (0.25 mg F), while there was a poor release in water and saliva (2–10 %). The release from the sodium fluoride lozenge (0.25 mg F) was essentially complete in water and saliva as well as in acid. Following sucking and chewing on a sodium fluoride lozenge, the mean salivary fluoride concentration increased from 0.04 to 36 parts/1065 min after intake. Concentrations exceeding the preintake level were still recorded after 20 min. With the bone meal tablet, only a slight increase (to 0.2 parts/106) in the salivary fluoride level was obtai

摘要:

AbstractA 2‐year clinical trial was conducted using an adolescent population from a low‐fluoride area to evaluate the anticaries effect of self‐applications of zirconium silicate paste containing 9 % stannous fluoride. Three study groups totaling 464 children, with an initial average age of 12.8 years, completed the study. The control group brushed with a non‐fluoride zirconium silicate paste (Zircate Prophylaxis Paste®) once each year; the first experimental group brushed with zirconium silicate paste containing 9 % stannous fluoride (Zircate Treatment Paste®) once each year; and the second experimental group brushed every 6 months with Zircate Treatment Paste. After 2 years, the DMFT and DMFS increments were virtually identical for the control group and the group that received one application of fluoride paste per year. The group that received two applications of fluoride paste per year had a DMFT increment that was about 24 % less than that of the control group; however, the DMFS increment was only 5 % less. These differences were not statistically significant at theP= 0

摘要:

AbstractThe prevalence of traumatized primary anterior teeth was studied in 965 5‐year‐olds attending compulsory kindergartens in West Jerusalem in 1971. The prevalence of children with traumatized teeth was 11.1 %. No difference between males and females was found. In most cases only one tooth was affected. The tooth most frequently affected was the maxillary central incisor. The most common type of fracture was that of enamel with or without den

摘要:

AbstractOcclusion and spacing patterns are described for 1,624 3‐year‐old children living in Gladsaxe, a suburb of Copenhagen. Normal transversal relations were found in 1,396 children, while 214 had crossbite, and 14 had scissors‐bite. The sagittal and vertical occlusion were significantly different in the three groups. The sagittal occlusion characters were to a large extent identical in the second primary molar, the canine and the incisor regions in the individual child. Open bite was much more frequent in children with maxillary overjet>4 mm than in children with maxillary overjet 4 mm. Definite mandibular overjet was diagnosed in three children but 19 had a tendency towards mandibular overjet. The number of dummy suckers was very high and was significantly higher among children with crossbite than among children with normal transversal relations. Crowding was found in the incisor regions, but very seldom, while total spacing existed in 34.5 % of the maxillary and 24.3 % of the mandibular a

摘要:

AbstractTwenty thousand Arabs of various nationalities living in Kuwait have been investigated over the past 5 years; 5,470 (27 %) manifested recurrent aphthous ulcerations (RAU). Non‐Kuwaiti Arabs were affected more than Kuwaitis and the prevalence of the disease was respectively 35% and 18 %. Among Kuwaitis, only 5 % of the Bedouins manifested the disease whereas 22 % of urbanized Arabs were affected. The ratio of the affected females to males in this study was 6:5. The clinical course of RAU in Arabs was similar to that reported in other populations. Various environmental factors such as stressful conditions, social tradition and obligations, and the allergenic Arabic food seemed to affect the prevalence of RAU in different Arab communitie

摘要:

AbstractIn the course of an extensive study on oral cancer and precancerous lesions in a selected sample of Indian industrial workers, 43,654 individuals over the age of 35 years were clinically examined for the presence and location of oral sebaceous glands. The prevalence of oral sebaceous glands was found to be 25 % in the study sample. This comparatively low prevalence rate is attributed to the high frequency of oral habits which may cause an atrophy of these glandular structures. Bilateral buccal mucosal involvement was the most common finding. The upper lip was much more frequently involved than the lower lip. Because these glands do not have any pathologic significance, they should be considered developmental disorders or structures within the limits of normal variation. Occasionally, when widespread, they may be mistaken for oral white lesions such as leukoplakia, lichen planus, etc.
