摘要:

AbstractThree clinical case studies are presented to demonstrate the use of a simple functional appliance in orthodontic situations not covered by traditionally‐accepted dental and skeletal indications. In each case, the appliance was used to reduce the severity of the malocclusion, before a routine fixed‐appliance detailing ph

摘要:

AbstractThe acute leukaemias are a group of neoplastic diseases that are characterized by proliferation of immature white cells in the bone marrow and/or blood and are often associated with severe leukopenia, anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Oral manifestations are more common in patients with acute leukaemia. Oral bleeding, gingival enlargement, ulceration and infection in patients with leukaemia have been described. Leukaemic infiltrates in the gingivae are commonly seen in acute monocytic leukaemia. A case of acute monocytic leukaemia in a 34‐year‐old female who reported with gingival enlargement is presented here. The role of oral lesions as a diagnostic indicator is discus

摘要:

AbstractGeneral dentiste are frequently called upon to manage maxillofacial infections. Such infections are usually well localized in their initial stages but can spread to become severe and potentially life‐threatening. This paper discusses the anatomical basis of the spread of these infections and techniques relevant to the rational management of these serious condition

摘要:

AbstractObstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has been associated with many life‐threatening conditions but has only recently appeared in the dental literature. Dental appliances and orthognathic surgery are two strategies which are currently used in the treatment of sleep apnoea. This article provides a background on OSA and these treatment approaches, and discusses the potential risks and benefits of each. A case is reported to illustrate the use of a dental appliance in the treatment of OS

摘要:

AbstractIn Australia there is a tradition of early involvement of children in contact sports. Mouthguards are known to reduce the risk of dental and associated injuries — however, Australian studies of the use of mouthguards in contact sports and the prevalence of dental and associated injuries have only focused on adult participants. Previous studies of high school Rugby Union players in New Zealand have shown that between 13 and 15 per cent had previously sustained dental injury while between 30 and 37 per cent wore mouthguards regularly. One hundred and thirty Rugby Union football players attending a large high school in Brisbane participated in this survey. All believed in the safety value of mouthguards in football. All of the players in the four open teams and the majority of players in the four under‐age teams wore mouthguards, and the incidence of dental injury was very low, approximately 4 per cent. These and other results will be presented and compared with previous similar stud

摘要:

AbstractApart from the effects of the frequency of patient attendance for dental examination, and of a change of dentist, little is known of those factors which may influence the amount of treatment provided in dental practice. The present study investigated during 1992 the effects of seven factors on the amount of treatment provided for 100 adult patients treated by 20 male dentists over many years in three selected Adelaide private practices. The amounts of particular types of restorative treatments provided were significantly related to patient age, gender and frequency of attendance, and to practice location, change of dentist and number of changes of dentist, and to the experience or time since graduation of the dentist. These factors were of special significance for the number of crowns provided, most of which were placed in older patients by more experienced dentists. But, there was no evidence of increased numbers of direct placement restorations being received by patients who attended more frequently or who changed their dentists.

摘要:

AbstractHenry Jeanneret was a pioneer Australian dentist, perhaps the first in this country to promote the discipline of dentistry as distinct from medicine and general surgery. This profile describes his early life and training, his emigration to Australia, his clinical practice in Sydney and in Van Diemen's Land, and his contributions to natural history, particularly in the field of botany.
