摘要:

Abstract—A recently discovered alloy of cobalt and samarium (Co5Sm) has exceptional magnetic properties. A laboratory evaluation was made of the grip force of samples of this alloy of a size suitable for dental use. A review of both dental and general literature points to the need for establishing, prior to widespread usage, that magnetic fields are harmless to surrounding tissue

摘要:

Abstract—Dental amalgam and porcelain control discs were implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of rats. Amalgam implants exerted a toxic effect caused by release of metal ions which was characterized by prolonged inflammation, delayed granulation and disordered collagen formation. Dental porcelain was found to be a suitable biocompatible control which provided a bulk similar to that of dental amalgam but induced only an uncomplicated granulation respons

摘要:

Abstract—A method based on a survey of 336 children is described for making measurements of occlusions and converting the results into a form which permits an assessment of the community's need for orthodontic treatment. Measurements of the incisal overjet and crowding are used to produce a score related to the severity of the malocclusion, and the results suggest further investigation is warrante

摘要:

Abstract—The routine prosthetic arrangement of teeth set according to arbitrary criteria frequently results in adaptive problems, tissue damage, poor aesthetics, lack of stability and functional disabilities. A phonetic technique, based on the ‘S’ position of the mandible, in the majority of cases provides a useful aid in achieving natural tooth positions and the occlusal vertical dimension. This technique can enhance the quality of prosthodontic service especially for patients having difficulties with full den

摘要:

Abstract—A supervised semi‐annual self application with 10 per cent stannous fluoride toothpaste by children aged 12–13 years and continued for three years demonstrated a reduction of DMFS and DMFT of 16 and 19 per cent between Test and Control Groups. The difference was 1.35 surfaces at the end of three years at approximately one third the cost for restoration of each surface. A greater reduction in caries increments was found in girls and in those children who had not received fluoride supple
