Perceptions of occlusal conditions in Australia, the German Democratic Republic and the United States of America.

An instrument developed by Jenny et al. (1980) for rating the public's perceptions of the social acceptability of a wide variety of occlusal configurations was administered to children and adults in Australia, the German Democratic Republic and the United States of America and also to US orthodontists. Mean scores for the 7 groups of subjects from the 3 countries were arranged in rank order from the least socially acceptable to the most socially acceptable and compared. The results indicate that use of the social acceptability scale of occlusal conditions (SASOC) is a highly reliable method for scoring and rank-ordering the aesthetic acceptability of occlusal morphologies. Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients between the ranking of SASOC stimuli by all 7 groups of subjects from the 3 countries ranged from 0.85 to 0.97. The probability of such correlations occurring by chance is less than 1 in 10000 (P less than 0.0001). SASOC proved capable of rank-ordering a wide range of occlusal morphologies for aesthetics with excellent consistency along the entire spectrum from the least acceptable to the most socially acceptable in all 3 countries. The data indicate that norms for socially acceptable dental appearance are essentially the same in Australia, the German Democratic Republic and the United States of America.

[Clearance determination with 131I-labelled hippurate (author's transl)].

The effect of the iodine not bound to the nuclear drug 131I hippurate on nuclear medical renal diagnosis by means of whole body clearance has been investigated. The results show that whatever clearance method is used, the tubular secretion performance decreases with increasing free iodine. This results in considerable error if the free iodine in the nuclear drug is not taken into account in the clearance calculation.

[Variations in the use of microscopic instruments for the examination of urinary calculi in routine professional practice and in research].

Generalising considerations concerning the problem of the analysis of urinary calculi as well as a longer testing within own examination prove modern microscopic methods and devices to be a scientific and practical instrumentarium for the examination of urinary calculi which has a good future. Expensive special microscopes may above all remained reserved for research examinations on urinary calculi, if simple laboratory microscopes for routine analyses of urinary calculi are supplemented by cheap additional constructing elements.
