[Diet as an important factor in the etiology of dental erosions].

A questionnaire study was carried out on 120 healthy subjects of both sexes. The age of the examined population was between 18-30 years. The subjects were divided into 2 groups comprising the same number of participants. The first and second group consisted of patients with and without enamel erosions respectively. The consumption of food like fruit juice, apples, citrus fruit, coca-cola, fizzy drinks and yoghurt and its influence on the frequency of enamel erosions were estimate. The analysis of the obtained results pointed to an existing relationship between diet and the existence of enamel erosions.

Evaluation of lymphocyte populations and subpopulations extracted from inflamed periodontal tissues.

The aim of the present study was evaluation the distribution of B- and T-cells and T-cell subsets in periodontal tissues from patients with different periodontitis forms. Periodontal tissue samples were collected from group P patients during routine surgical procedures, while from group C during tooth extraction for orthodontic or prosthetic purposes. Directly after collection, tissue samples were placed in a criostat or fixed in 10% buffered formalin for 24 h at room temperature. Following fixation the material was embedded in paraffin and subjected to routine histological techniques. Examinations of B- and T-lymphocytes populations and T-lymphocytes subsets were made with the use of immunohistochemical method. In C group single T and B lymphocytes were found in histological examination in pocket epithelium zones. In early onset periodontitis (EOP) patients in inflammatory infiltration lymphocytes T were dominating while in adult periodontitis (AP) patients dominating were B lymphocytes. Mean CD4/CD8 ratio in control group was 1.7 and in EOP and AP patients 1.1 and 2.6 respectively.

[Paracervical non-caries defects].

The aim of the study was the description of origin and treatment of paracervical, non-caries defects. Dental plaque is involved in the formation of caries defects, while those of non-caries origin are produced due to the action of mechanical and chemical factors. The treatment consists in wide fluoride prophylaxis (elimination of causes) and in the application of mineralization procedures and restoration of missing dental tissue using modern dental highly-adhesive materials. At the same time occlusion disorders and parafunctions are eliminated.
