[Kinship studies in Gorlin-Goltz syndrome (basal cell nevus syndrome)].

By means of an investigation on 7 patients from 3 families views are expressed on the problems of the basal cell-naevus-syndrome. The typical clinical signs appear preferentially and as first-symptoms in the jaw-bone as solitary and later developing multiple cysts. Because these first symptoms of the syndrome cause secondary, dentitio tarda (belated dentition) and displacement of the teeth, the dentist or the maxillo-facial-surgeon has a special responsibility for early diagnosis of this disease. Reference is made to the necessity of interdisciplinary cooperation and the ambulatory-care of the patients in the sense of a family registration and observation.

[The use of tantalum wire as a suture material].

The qualification of tantalum wire as suture material was tested by means of physical and histological investigations. Starting-point were the physiochemical and biological attributes and its hitherto existing employment in the medicine. Indication and recommendations for handling the material were found out.

[Problems of bite injuries in the maxillo-facial region].

Bite injuries by animals in the maxillo-facial-region require special managements of the treating physician or dentist. In the foreground stands the prophylaxis of the rabies. According to the lawful definitions the patient has to be transferred as quick as possible to the next department for rabies and inoculation. The local wound of bite must be treated with rabies-virucid medicaments. Because of aesthetic and functional reasons the primary plastic operation should be done even in cases of extensive wounds and defects in the facial region. By means of 19 cases these demands are based.

[Surgical sutures--survey and recommendations for application to stomatology].

The stomatologue is supposed to apply with his every day's practice surgical suture material in case of need according to indication. Placing numerous, novel materials at disposal, the knowledge of biological and physical parameters of materials that can be applied sometimes cannot suffice. The survey is aimed at orientation on the selection and recommendation of the suited suture materials.

[An analysis of the incidence of surgical-stomatologic disease pictures and required treatment needs].

In a good bordered drainage area in the sense of the reachdentist-system a study of morbidity was made. It could be fixed that in nearly a third of all patients diseases a relation of 862 patients to 1351 diagnoses was found. As the principle of division the International Classification of Diseases was used and with 97,13% the Class IX was absolutely dominating. The expense of therapy was carefully registered and about it was found that only 6% of the working time is needed for surgical stomatological operations.

[Stimulated osteogenesis in bone cysts].

This method deduces from classical therapeuticál principle of bone jaw cysts from Partsch (1892, 1910) and Schulte (1959, 1960, 1964) and has regard the modern results of biomaterial research. It is used mixing of anorganic and organic materials, which proportion is in accordance to normal bone tissue. In 39 till now operated cases of different bone defects we attained good clinical events. The first cases are controlled since two years.

[Vascular supply of the free fasciocutaneous forearm flap--an anatomical study].

The vascular supply of the forearm skin--especially of the ventral antebrachial region--was investigated by means of selective angiographies and intravascular dye injections in 43 upper extremities of corpses. Besides the definition of the interesting supply regions assertions were made about the kind and the character of the angioarchitecture as well as recommendations for the flap planning and other clinical references.

[Vertification of the age dependence of salivary gland function by means of 99 Tc sialadenoscintigraphy].

The authors describe the salivary gland function diagnostics by means of 99mTc-pertechnetate under the conditions of computer scintigraphy. Parameters suited for numerical evaluation were selected. The age-dependence of the parotid gland function was studied in 49 healthy subjects of different age-groups. The present results permit to exclude such a dependence. The values obtained may be used as basic documentation in evaluating pathological conditions of the parotid gland by means of function diagnostics.

[Graduate teaching aspects to be considered in the planning of undergraduate dental courses].

The general part of the present paper deals with questions concerning the demanding conceptual design of teaching from the aspect of creative studying. The students' qualification for responsible scientific work and creative studying is considered to be an essential question of the conceptual design of the demanding process of learning and acquiring the scientific bases. Thus, it will be possible to improve effectively the attitude towards studying and the engagement in creative achievements (in a narrow sense or in explicit forms of organization). In the empirical part of the present paper, the results from the interviewing of 240 dental students on relevant conceptual factors of teaching are discussed. An analysis of situation led to valuable insights and conclusions as to more effective teaching in the framework of stomatological study.

[Hemihypertrophia mandibulae--CT scans and histochemical findings].

In a clinical statistical evaluation of patients seen in our hospital between 1967 and 1987 a total of 25 cases of facial asymmetry are assessed. The importance of CT scans for diagnosis and treatment planning is emphasized. The histochemical analysis of native cryostat hard bone tissue sections proves the existence of atypical bone remodelling processes in the inner bone surface late in the 3rd decade of life.

[Solitary plasmacytomas in the head area. Diagnostic and therapeutic considerations].

Based on two case reports the inherent problems of diagnosis and treatment of this rare tumor are discussed. The importance of a complex immunohistologic and immunochemical analysis of the monoclonal immunoglobulin produced by the tumor is emphasized. Determining the serum level of the immunoglobulin is decisive for establishing the necessary treatment strategy. Apart from the tumor-specific aftercare by a specialist, these patients always require additional treatment at an immunology clinic.

[Congenital melanotic tumors].

Congenital melanotic tumors are among the very rare tumors of early childhood. Their histogenesis and biological significance are still controversial today. The ideas of an odontogenic origin and of a neuroectodermal pathogenesis of these tumors range among the most frequently advocated hypotheses. Until about 1970 this type of tumor was almost always referred to as benign. Meanwhile there has been a change in the assessment of the character of congenital melanotic tumors. Above all, this is due to the fact that malignant cases have been repeatedly reported since 1970. Apart from an extensive review of the literature, 2 own cases are described which were treated surgically. The histological evaluation of the tumor material supports the assumption that these tumors are of odontogenic origin.
