摘要:

summaryBoth the surgical and the prosthodontic procedures will be performed by one and the same general practitioner (GP) for many implant patients, as access to specialists is limited or non‐existent in a large number of places. However, treatment by GPs has not been documented to the same extent as treatment performed by specialists. This lack of knowledge was the reason for the present study, in which four GPs performed both the surgery and the prosthodontics on patients requiring single tooth implant replacements. The treatments were performed after an initial training of the GP and his/ her dental assistant for 8 days. The treatments by the GPs exhibited clinical results corresponding to those achieved at a specialist clinic. The outcome indicates that complete single tooth implant treatments might be performed by GPs who have passed an initial training and demonstrated an interest in a close cooperation with specialists in oral surgery/periodontics and prosthodontics. Such a co‐operation should be based on the distribution of complicated cases to the specialists and of non‐complicated cases to th

摘要:

summaryFive different scales of self‐assessment of pain were tested in patients with temporomandibular disorders. The precision and sensitivity and the capacity to register memory of pain and discomfort were compared for each of the five scales. The behaviour rating scale was found to be superior to the other four scales in respect of precision and sensitivity to pain and discomfort and when recording the memory of these two variables. This scale was also considered by the patients to be the most relevant and the simplest to understand. From these results, the behaviour rating scale can be recommended when measuring pain and discomfort in patients with temporomandibular disorder

摘要:

summaryThirty routine patients, provided with fixed prostheses supported by osseointegrated Brånemark implants in edentulous lower jaws, were arranged into three different groups with regard to design of the metal framework. Ten patients received cast gold alloy frames and the other two groups were provided with two different designs of welded titanium frames. The fit of the completed prostheses was measured in three dimensions (3‐D) in relation to the master cast, by means of a photogrammetric technique, prior to insertion. Mean 3‐D distortion of the centre point of the gold cylinder was 42 (s.d. 8) microns for the cast framework. The corresponding mean distortion for the two designs of titanium frameworks was 43 (s.d. 16) and 36 (s.d. 10) microns, respectively. Least distortion was observed in vertical direction for all three designs. None of the different designs of metal frames showed a significantly better fit (P>0.05), but the cast and oldest titanium framework design presented a much wider range of distortion. This indicated a higher risk of sectioning and resoldering during the fabrication of the prostheses as compared to the more consistently fabricated prostheses, with a new titanium framework de

摘要:

summaryThe adaptability of the stomatognathic system to alterations in the vertical dimension is discussed based on scientific reports and clinical experience. A case is reported demonstrating the stability of a therapeutically induced increase in the occlusal vertical dimension over a 10 year period. In conclusion, it is stated that moderate alterations in the occlusal vertical dimension of patients are generally well tolerated if necessary for therapeutic measures.

摘要:

summaryDue to their inertness and unsurpassed aesthetic properties, ceramic materials are increasingly used as inlay materials. Based on a questionnaire, the frequency and character of complications related to ceramic inlay therapy were assessed and some important pitfalls and clinical relevant factors discussed. A majority of the dentists performed between 1 and 10 ceramic inlays per month using several different ceramic materials. As many as 85% of the dentists had observed complications in connection with ceramic inlays. Most frequency reported was hypersensitivity of a transient nature (15%). The material revealed an overall inlay fracture frequency of 5%, but the individual variations were high. Tooth fracture, loss of retention and other complications such as secondary caries, endodontic envolvement, colour mismatch and a surface and edge deterioration occurred with a varying but lower frequency. Failure analysis revealed a large number of causative factors among which cavity and inlay design, bonding procedures, selection of luting material and proper case selection were regarded as the most important. Due consideration to the strength of remaining tooth substance was found to be important in reducing the problem of hypersensitivity and the risk of tooth and inlay fracture.

摘要:

summaryThe usage of odds ratios for estimating the significance of occlusion is based on the assumption that the aetiological factors are additive and interchangeable in several different composite causes. If the factor studied is a necessary causal factor, odds ratios cannot be used in risk estimation. The present study analysed odds ratios in a sample of children half of whom had undergone an annual prophylactic elimination of occlusal interferences. The sample consisted of 178 children followed up for 5 years from the baseline age of 5 or 10. The distribution of interferences was computed for children with tenderness of the masticatory muscles (‘cases’), and for children without (‘controls’). Although the increase in the number of children free from interferences was not remarkable, the overall result was statistically significant (P0.01). None of the children free from interferences showed muscular tenderness at any of the annual examinations. Therefore, odds ratios could not be calculated in our study sample. It is concluded that estimation by means of odds ratios of the significance of occlusal factors in CMD may be mis

摘要:

summarySections of flash‐frozen saliva particle mixture were examined by transmission electron microscopy. The saliva samples used consisted of 40% by volume parotid and 60% by volume submandibular sublingual fractions. One mL of the saliva was mixed with 0.1 mL of either hydrophilic or hydrophobic particles of 0.9 μm diameter. The micrographs of the saliva and hydrophilic particles mixes showed the multiple spherical particles in the salivary network structures. Micrographs of the saliva and hydrophilic particle mixes showed the presence of few such objects; when observed, the particles were located only in the electron dense part of the salivary structur

摘要:

summaryOral function was evaluated in 30 patients (25 women and five men) after TMJ surgery by means of bite force measurements. Twenty‐seven discectomies and three condylectomies had been performed. The follow‐up period was, on average, 2.5 years. The mean bite force values on the function level ‘biting as when chewing’ was for the whole group 125.3 N on the right side and 128.8 N on the left side. The maximal bite force was on average 362.5 N and maximal endurance time on average 32 s. All test results showed big ranges. No significant differences between right and left side or operated and non‐operated side could be found on the tested function level ‘biting as when chewing’. The found bite force values were high in comparison with another similar study. The results were also compared with another group of patients (n= 6) who were examined before and 6 months after surgery. As far as bite force reflects oral function the results are indeed ver
