[Evaluation of condyle fracture with PA X-rays by computer measurements].

The degrees of dislocation after treatment and reduction of the condylar fractures is empirically evaluated with standard X-rays of the lower jaw. The aim of this paper is to investigate the possibilities a more precise evaluation of the degree of dislocation and reduction of the shorter fragment with PA X-rays of the lower jaw. Forty X-rays of 20 patients with unilateral condylar fracture were used. X-rays were put into the memory of a compatible IBM PC with a graphic table. On the graphical presentation of these X-rays the following parameters were determinated: axis of the individual symmetry and condyle axis; angles between the condyle axis and the horizontal line were measured: D--in dislocated condyle, IR--in "ideally" reduced condyle and SR--actually reduced condyle. The angles between the axis of the undamaged condyles and the horizontal line were measured on the X-rays before and after the completion of the treatment. The difference between them was presented am an X-ray error. The obtained results are encouraging.

[Use of intracoronal splints in therapy of periodontal disease].

The study concerns the evaluation of the efficacy of intracoronal composite splints (ICS) in the therapy of periodontal disease in its full clinical state. Maxillar and mandibular front teeth were splinted over the period of 12 weeks as a part of a complex therapy procedure of developed periodontal disease. The results of the therapy were evaluated using periodontal indexes, parameters for oral hygiene and other relevant clinical parameters. Values were processed with Student's t-test. With the use of ICS very good results in the therapy of periodontal disease in a short period of time were obtained. Parameter values decreased, especially the index of tooth mobility: before therapy by 2.84 and after therapy to 1.12. Intracoronal composite splints, in comparison with other type of splinting, satisfy both functional and aesthetic aspects.
