摘要:

abstract–The prevalence ofS. mutansand lactobacilli, the salivary secretion rate, and salivary pH and buffer capacity were examined in 655 children 9–12 years old. Some of these factors were correlated with the frequency of caries. Positive correlations were ob served between for exampleS. mutansand lactobacilli, betweenS. mutansand incipient smooth surface caries, and between lactobacilli and open carious lesion. A high proportion of the children showed large numbers ofS. mutansandlactobac

摘要:

abstract–In the eastern part of Java and on the island of Bali betel chewing is a very common habit confined principally to females. The purpose of the present study was to examine the influence of betel chewing on the prevalence of dental caries. The study, which is based upon 982 villagers, indicates a strong inverse relationship between the prevalence of dental caries and the intensity of betel chewing. The possible mechanisms whereby betel chewing may have a caries‐inhibiting effect are discus

摘要:

abstract–Anorexia nervosa (AN), a psychosomatic disease mainly affecting young women, is characterized by conscious starvation, periods of excessive carbohydrate intake and often deliberate vomiting. Medical history, dental examination, and saliva tests of 39 pa tients aged 14 to 42 years, having suffered from AN for periods of 1 to 20 year, showed dental caries, due to excessive carbohydrate consumption, in all subjects, often in a rampant form. In patients with a history of intense vomiting (27 cases) severe lingual‐occlusal erosion (perimylolysis) was nearly always present. Buccal erosion, mainly due to high con sumption of acid fruits and drinks to relieve thirst caused by dehydration, was more frequent in vomiting than in non‐vomiting patients. Subnormal values of saliva properties, owing to dehydration or xerostomia‐inducing medication, were present in the majority of cases; the lowest values occurred in those vomiting. The association AN — vomiting — perimylolysis is discussed, as well as prophylactic and therapeutic measures. A medical, psychiatric, and dental survey of AN i
