Assessment of screen/film combinations for cephalometric radiography.
Six different intensifying screen/film combinations were used to produce cephalometric radiographs of a tissue equivalent phantom skull. The adequacy of the films was assessed by seven orthodontists on two occasions. There was a low intra- and interobserver correlation. A more objective and reproducible method is required to evaluate intensifying screen/film combinations for cephalometric radiography.

The effect of social factors on referrals for orthodontic advice and treatment.
All patients with information related to social class who were referred to the Orthodontic Department of Glasgow Dental Hospital over a 5-year period were investigated in this study. This referred population is different from the general population with proportionally fewer of the lower social classes. Social class did not affect the distance travelled to receive advice or treatment. However, proportionally more patients from social Classes I and V received complicated therapy.

The effect of social class and dental features on referrals for orthodontic advice and treatment.
Patients referred to the Orthodontic Department of Glasgow Dental Hospital over a 5-year period were divided into social class. The analysis of some dental features revealed that the upper social classes presented with proportionally more minor malocclusions than the lower social classes.

Mucosal petechiometry: a reliable method for the measurement of capillary resistance.
The method of mucosal petechiometry, as described by Kozam (1968), was investigated and found to be a valid technique for investigating capillary resistance. Recommendations are made on the use of this technique as a research method.

An orthodontic evaluation of 16-year-old males with an original complete unilateral cleft lip and palate problem repaired during the neonatal period.
A cephalometric analysis is presented of a group of 21 16-year-old males born with complete unilateral clefts of lip and palate with surgical repair carried out in the neonatal period. Comparisons are made with the multicentre study reported by Ross (1987). The study demonstrates that the effect of early surgery on facial growth is similar to that of the average of the multicentre study.
