Occlusal composite restorations: 4-year results.

A study was performed to determine the success of a conservative cavity preparation using the principle of sealing for prevention rather than cavity extension for prevention. A total of 332 restorations were placed in 240 teeth of 110 subjects, aged 6 to 14, with a mean age of 8 years. After 4 years, 205 restorations were examined. Caries appeared in 13 teeth and sealant wear occurred in 14 restorations. Complete sealant loss was observed in eight restorations and partial loss in 38, leaving 156 restorations with complete retention of the sealant. These preliminary results show that conservative cavity preparation with sealing for prevention is a successful technique that conserves valuable tooth structure.

Observations on a calcium hydroxide lining in retrieved deciduous teeth, with proximal amalgam fillings.

The integrity and thickness of Dycal linings were determined on exfoliated deciduous teeth in which proximal fillings had been placed in vivo. The teeth remained in the oral cavity for more than 18 months after placement of the restorations. The average lining thickness was found to be 114 microns. One-third of the samples showed evidence for the presence of Dycal at the gingival floor, up to the proximal tooth wall. Wash-out of the lining was observed for most teeth in which Dycal had been present near the proximal tooth wall. Incipient caries formation, associated with wash-out of the lining, was noted in a few samples. Contact between amalgam and dentine was frequently observed at the line angle, pulpal floor and axial wall.

Amelogenesis imperfecta among Israeli Jews and the description of a new type of local hypoplastic autosomal recessive amelogenesis imperfecta.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) was detected in nine of 70,359 school children surveyed, a prevalence approximating 1:8,000. Of these cases, eight were the hypoplastic type and one the snow-capped hypomaturation type. Family studies demonstrated that hypoplastic AI was an autosomal dominant trait in two children and an autosomal recessive in six. Of three additional families referred to our clinic, two had autosomal recessive hypoplastic AI and one the hypocalcified type, inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. In four families, a new type of local hypoplastic autosomal recessive AI was observed, characterized by horizontal pitting and grooving more pronounced in the middle third of the crowns of most teeth in both dentitions.

The prognosis of traumatized permanent anterior teeth with fracture of the enamel and dentin.

The purpose of this study was to examine, in the light of a 2-year follow-up, the diagnostic and prognostic value of vitality tests in teeth which had suffered fracture of the enamel and dentin without pulp exposure, to assess the period in which late pathologic changes may occur, and to determine the recommended time intervals for follow-up examinations. Eighty-four childred, 6 to 14 years of age, with 123 traumatized teeth were included in the study. Of these teeth, 87 percent were "vital" at the initial examination, and most of these remained vital throughout the 2 years. Most pathologic changes occur within 6 months after trauma. It is recommended that follow-up examinations be performed 3 and 6 months after the trauma. Root canal treatment is usually necessary in teeth which have no vital response by the 3- and 6-month examinations.

Cleft uvula: prevalence and genetics.

The prevalence of cleft uvula (CU) was determined among 70,359 school children 6-18 years of age; 90 children having the condition were chosen as probands for a family study. Prevalence of CU was 0.44 per cent with no sex differences. The Non-Ashkenazi group had a higher prevalence than the other population groups. The prevalence of CU in parents and siblings was 7.7 per cent and 7.5 per cent respectively. The findings from the family study support the hypothesis of a polygenic mode of inheritance for CU. The prevalence of cleft palate and agenesis of upper lateral incisors in the families studied did not differ from that expected in the general population.

Scrotal tongue and geographic tongue: polygenic and associated traits.

The familial nature of scrotal and geographic tongue was investigated in parents and siblings of 156 probands having these conditions. The prevalence in parents and siblings was significantly higher than that in the control populations. The prevalence in sibilings from families in which at least one parent was also affected was significantly higher than that in siblings from families in which neither parent was affected. The prevalence of scrotal tongue alone in siblins was similar irrespective of the condition in the proband. The prevalence of geographic tongue alone was highest in siblins of probands having only geographic tongue. A polygenic mode of inheritance with some genes common to both conditions is suggested.

Chairtime needed for an incremental dental care program for schoolchildren in Israel.

Chairtime needed to provide initial treatment to 80 children, 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 years of age, in an incremental care program was recorded. An average of 8.2 carious teeth with 14.0 carous surfaces required treatment. The clinical and radiographic examinations were concluded earlier and were not included in the chairtime recorded. One year after completion of the initial treatment, 51 of these children were reexamined to determine the maintenance treatment needs. These were found to be approximately one-third of the initial treatment needs. The average chairtime required for initial treatment was 2 hours and 37 min. It was estimated that for complete treatment, including examination and preventive measures, 3 hours per child would be required for initial treatment and 1 hour for maintenance care each following year.

Oral manifestations of Morquio's syndrome.

The clinical and laboratory findings in two siblings affected with Morquio's syndrome are described. The oral findings, consisting of disturbances in the structure of the enamel in both deciduous and permanent teeth, resemble those of amelogenesis imperfecta, Type 1. Preformed crowns are recommended as the initial treatment, in order to avoid loss of vertical height. The dentist's familiarity with the oral manifestations of Morquio's disease may contribute to the early detection of this condition.
