A clinical evaluation of materials used in registering interjaw relationships.

Three recording media used to relate stone casts for 15 dentate patients were compared for accuracy. Interjaw relationships at the maximum intercuspation position and the retruded contact position were recorded using impression plaster, wax, and Duralay acrylic resin. A Lucia programming jig was used in the retruded contact position. The vertical distance and horizontal deviation between the casts were measured from reference points on the casts using each recording material. The average percentage differences between the recording materials were calculated. Hand articulation was the most accurate method of relating the casts at maximum intercuspation. The most accurate recording medium was impression plaster, followed by dental wax and Duralay resin at the maximum intercuspation and retruded contact positions.

A clinical survey of oral soft tissue lesions in institutionalized geriatric patients in Israel.

A clinical survey of oral soft tissue lesions in 298 geriatric patients in Israel was conducted. White lesions were found in 9.5% of smokers and 2.19% of non-smokers. Varicosities increased from 11.1% to 41.1% between ages 50-99 years. Pigmentation, hairy tongue, and papillary atrophy of the tongue all increased with age. Hairy tongue was found in 12.8% of men and 4.5% of women.

Migratory stomatitis.

Migratory stomatitis is a unique oral condition with several descriptive names. The diagnosis is based on the clinical appearance and the history of the lesions. The etiology of this entity is still open to debate. A review of the literature and a clinical description of a study group consisting of seven additional cases, in which long-term follow-up was done, are presented. Migratory stomatitis is suggested as the most suitable term to describe accurately the nature and the behavior of this condition.

Directional dental asymmetry in South Sinai Bedouin isolates.

Dental casts of 242 Bedouin children were used to study directional asymmetry (DA). Results of Student's t-test pair comparison showed that for permanent dentition, 4 out of 24 DA measures were statistically significant whereas for deciduous dentition, 8 out of 20 measures were significant (p less than 0.05). The magnitude of DA was on the average 1% of the total size of the tooth. No preference regarding dimension (buccolingual, mesiodistal) or jaw (maxilla, mandible) was detected for the DA. PCA results demonstrated the independent nature of DA measures in the dentition.

Oral lesions in elderly denture wearers.

A total of 298 patients in geriatric institutions were surveyed; 62.8% were edentulous. The frequency of denture hyperplasia and of flabby ridge was related to denture quality which deteriorates with irregular dental visits. Denture stomatitis and inflammatory papillary hyperplasia of the palate were related to denture age only and not to quality. All denture-related lesion frequencies increased with patient age and denture age. The total frequency of soft tissue lesions was 16.7% in edentulous non-denture patients and 58.2% in patients with poor quality dentures. The lowest frequency of soft tissue lesions was in edentulous, non-denture patients. Poor oral hygiene increased the frequency of positive cultures for Candida from the dentures.
