[Psychosocial studies of surgically treated adults with unilateral total lip-maxilla-palate clefts].

The psychological status of 51 adult subjects who had received surgery at the appropriate time for cleft lip-palate was investigated by questionnaire (Giessen test). In respect of social dominance this revealed a significant deviation towards social subordination among those with cleft lips and palates, which is explicable in terms of the lengthy and continuous treatment and appears to be of great importance as a defence and adaptation mechanism to those concerned. The inclusion of psychologists in the interdisciplinary care of cleft lip-palate patients is proposed.

[Interactions between oral surgery and orthodontics in the treatment of children with cleft lip and cleft palate].

The oral-surgical and the orthodontic treatment of patients with cleft lip and palate are interdependent. Consequently, they cannot be performed separately. In most cases, a continuous coordinated treatment planning by both specialties, from the first day of life, will permit to obtain optimal treatment results. The ultimate aim of co-ordinated treatment is not only the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation, but also the securing of the age-related growth of the midface.

[Osteomyelitis of the temporomaxillary joint (author's transl)].

Although osteomyelitis of the inferior maxilla is still relatively frequently diagnosed, manifestation of the disease in the temporomaxillary joint is a rare occurrence. The symptomatology, diagnosis, and therapy of this particular arthropathy is discussed by reference to three cases treated in recent years at the Berlin Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery. The importance of an early diagnosis and therapy is directed attention to because of the danger of serious subsequent diseases that may result in the loss of vital functions.

[Long-term experiences with surgery of large jaw cysts by the Nasteff-Rosenthal method].

Of a total of almost 200 patients operated upon by means of the Nasteff-Rosenthal method during the years 1962-1972, 80 could be re-examined. The results obtained show that this operating method stands the comparison with other techniques and that it may be recommended further on for the treatment of great cysts in the mandible as well as in the maxillae.

[Quantitative determination of immunoglobulins in the saliva. Comparative studies in squamous cell carcinomas of the mouth mucosa].

Immunological processes have been increasingly gaining in importance in the development and proliferation of tumours inhuman. Quantitative determinations of immunoglobulins IgG and IgA in the saliva of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral mucosa showed a significant difference in IgG concentration as compared with patients affected with inflammatory intraoral diseases.
