[Sensitivity of microorganisms of infected root canals to disinfectants].

The bactericidal and growth inhibiting effects of disinfectants on Streptococcus and Candida strains were tested in vitro. Chlorhexidine, when used in tiny concentrations (0.0001-0.0039%) inhibits the growth of Streptococci. With Wofasteril 0.32%) all Streptococci and Candida were killed within a minute. Next to a good bacteria inhibitor (0.001-0.032%), a sufficient bactericidal effect on Streptococci is shown by hydrogen peroxide when used in a 4% concentration and warmed to 45 degrees Centigrade (degrees C).

[Problems and aspects of the solution of the health education of schoolchildren in the lower grades in questions of oral hygiene].

It is dealt with the significance of the education about oral hygiene which must be started at preschool age, the repercussions of its neglect being illustrated by authoritative studies (e.g., those of Künzel). The results obtained by questioning 107 pupils (aged between 8 and 10 years) and 33 dentists revealed the unsatisfactory state of information and education about oral hygiene. Furthermore, searching interviews of class-teachers showed that the existent opportunities of taking influence are not used or that their use is not effective enough. Ways of realization are presented in the form of suggestions referring not only to curricular and extra-curricular possibilities but also to aspects of the planning and management as well as of the instruction and continuing education of dentists and teachers.

[Zinc oxide phosphate cement studies on the usefulness of Firmat].

The aim of the present investigations was to evaluate the Firmat zinc oxyphosphate cement in comparison with other brands, especially Adhesor normalhartend. The results obtained show that Firmat is a fast-setting phosphate cement which is not suited for polyhedral cavity linings. Time and material-consuming reworking is necessary. For temporary fillings, a temporary filling material should be used which is sufficiently solid, but easier to remove.

[Bacteriological studies during conservative treatment of periapical inflammations].

32 teeth with the diagnosis of periapical osteitis (established by clinical and radiological examinations) were subjected to endodontic treatment (irrigation with hydrogen peroxide), the course of which was followed by bacteriological examinations. The timing of treatment termination depended solely upon clinical evaluation. The examination of smears taken before the last irrigation showed that 26 of the 32 root canals (81%) were germ-free; in 2 cases, an anaerobic infection was still extant; and in 4 cases, an aerobic infection was observed. The high percentage of root canals which were germ-free before the last irrigation testifies to the efficiency of hydrogen peroxide application for disinfecting root canals on the one hand, and demonstrates the good agreement between clinical and bacteriological findings on the other hand. The germs identified belonged mainly to the normal oral flora. Enterococci proved to be particularly resistant. The conservative treatment of periapical osteitis by means of root-canal disinfection with a hydrogen peroxide preparation ans subsequent root-canal filling with a calcium peroxide paste is recommended.
