Abstract—Seventy‐four patients wearing full upper and lower dentures were examined in the study; 37 exhibited varying degrees of denture sore mouth (DSM) while the remaining 37 patients acted as controls. Denture trauma was more common in the DSM group. Candida was grown from 73 per cent of patients with DSM but only from 22 per cent of controls. Control patients had better denture hygiene than DSM patients. One year later 22 of the original DSM patients wearing newly made dentures were re‐examined. Nine out of 22 still exhibited varying degrees of DSM. In the 9 cases persisting, a nystatin‐chlorhexidine treatment plan was prescribed, resulting in resolution of 7 further cases. The cases that failed to resolve were wearing unstable traumatogenic new d

摘要:

Abstract—A survey of the dentist‐patient relationship, carried out in several Melbourne suburbs, found that the incidence of dentures increases with age; that females visit the dentist more regularly and are more likely to wear partial dentures than males; that the young visit more regularly than the old; and that the wearing of dentures and the expense of treatment are significant factors which deter people from visiting the dentist more regularly.It was found that ‘fear’ and ‘dislike’ of the dentist, ‘low’ confidence in the dentist and a poor dentist attitude to the patient are all associated with poor attendance. ‘Dislike’ is a stronger deterrent than ‘fear’, although ‘fear’ is more common. Confidence in the dentist is high, most have a high opinion of their own dentist, and only a fifth of the respondents consider their dentist to be ‘rude’ or ‘indifferent’. Attit

摘要:

Abstract—The inflammatory changes typical of periodontal disease are believed to involve immunological reactions, with bacteria being a potential source of the antigens inducing these reactions. Various investigators have studied the ability of specific organisms to induce tissue changes in experimental animals, while others have examined human sera and tissues for the presence of antibodies reacting with particular organisms or their isolated antigens. The significance of these results is assessed, particularly with respect to the problem of antibody cross‐reactivity. The antigens that could be involved in periodontal disease are discussed in terms of the difference in structure of Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacterial cells, with attention being drawn to those components that could occur extracellularly and thus diffuse into oral tissues. The antigen most studied is the lipopolysaccharide or endotoxin of Gram‐negative cells which, through the mediation of complement, is a potential inflammat

Abstract—The ameloblastoma, although a rare neoplasm, is likely to be first seen by the dentist who must be aware of its likelihood and of its varied manifestations. Five case reports presented show variations in the clinical and histological features of this lesio

摘要:

Abstract—The term premalignant lesion is defined and an explanation of the logical use of the term leukoplakia is given. The more common premalignant lesions of the mouth are described. Known and suspected aetiological factors in the development of oral carcinoma are discussed. It is emphasised that oral squamous cell carcinoma is, very largely a preventable disease. Signs of premalignancy in the mucosa can usually be detected clinically and remedial action at an early stage is generally effective in eliminating the lesions and avoiding their recurrenc

摘要:

Abstract—An histological assessment has been made of condyles removed at condylotomy. The tissue was removed from patients where conservative treatment had proved unsuccessful. In most of the condyles degenerative changes were found and in some, evidence of trauma. The importance of adaptation is discussed. The need for proper pre‐operative assessment is emphasi

摘要:

Abstract—The water supply of Canberra was fluoridated in September 1964. This report covers the period 1965 to 1974 during which children aged five to twelve years were examined. These children had lived in Canberra since fluoridation commenced.In comparison with base‐line data the results showed a progressive improvement in the DMF and def indices. The reduction in the DMF index for children aged six years who were examined in 1974 was 81.0 per cent, and for children aged twelve years it was 48.5 per cent.The reduction was greatest for incisor te
