The growth of postdoctoral general dentistry programs.

From 1972 to 1990, the number of Postdoctoral General Dentistry (PGD) programs increased by 57% and enrollment increased by 57% and enrollment increased by 131% for a total of 118 PGD programs and 1,367 positions. Although there has been some increase in military and Veterans Affairs (VA) programs, the major increase was in civilian programs. From 1972-78, the major impetus for growth was hospital sponsorship of General Practice Residency (GPR) programs. With federal funding of PGD programs, civilian GPR programs continued to be the main source of growth until the accreditation of Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) programs in 1981. Subsequently, almost all increases were in AEGD programs. Over the 12-year period of federal funding (1978-90), there was an increase of 406 civilian PGD positions to make a total of 925 positions. The increase in enrollment directly attributable to federal funding was 242. The "unmet demand" for PGD programs was estimated to be approximately 300 positions for 1990, from data derived from the Survey of Dental Seniors and the Matching Program. Assuming that the number of PGD positions continues to increase by 35 positions a year, as it has in the past 12 years, the unmet demand would be met in slightly less than 10 years. If, however, a postdoctoral year was mandated for licensure, the increase in the number of positions would be far short of projected need.

Immediate implantation of pure titanium implants into extraction sockets of Macaca fascicularis. Part I: Clinical and radiographic assessment.

Immediate implants have the advantages of few surgical exposures, short treatment time, and maintenance of alveolar bone height and width. The purpose of this study was to compare immediate implants with conventional implants (implants placed into ossified extraction sites) in adult monkeys. Forty-eight implants were placed and allowed to heal for a 6-month period. Following a 7-month loading period, the monkeys were sacrificed, and implant sections were evaluated histologically. Clinical and radiographic measurements showed few significant differences between immediate and control implants.

Immediate implantation of pure titanium implants into extraction sockets of Macaca fascicularis. Part II: Histologic observations.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate immediate implants with implants placed in ossified extraction (control) sites. Histologic observation of immediate and control implants showed similar levels of bone integration at the light microscopic level using ground-section and decalcified thin-section histologic methods. Both histologic methods provided similar information in relation to determination of hard and soft tissue components measured at the interface. The percentage of bone integration was similar in different anatomic regions of the oral cavity. Bone patterns peripheral to the interface region differed, suggesting that special consideration be given to implants placed in the posterior regions of the maxilla and mandible.
