[Influence of functional therapy on the gingival recession in patients with wedge shaped defects. A 2.5-year longitudinal study of the etiology of periodontal atrophy].

In 20 patients a free way space of greater than or equal to 1.0 mm and a cuspid protected guidance was formed. A previous study has shown, that prematurity and defective contacts reduce the free way space step by step and induce an artificial clenching. The front teeth was relieved in intercuspal position. The increase sof gingival recessions at the upper jaw was over five times significant slighter in treated patients than one in the 22 men of the control group. There was no significant, differences in the lower jaw. The recessions are represented as a sequence of a chronic biomechanical overloading.

[Elucidation and control of parafunctions by means of a modified self-observation test by Schulte and their effective treatment by occlusal adjustment and reconstruction].

A modified selfobservation test by Schulte enable us to differ parafunction quantitative as qualitative. By means of it were stated, toothclenching is induced by a missing or insufficient free way space on a large scale. Clenching could be reduced by occlusal adjustment and reconstruction significant about 45 percent. The free way space ought to be greater than or equal to 1 mm. The test is suitable for controlled treatment of temporomandibular joint and myofascial disorders. It could substitute electromyograms in outpatients, Toothclenching dominate with 85 percent before grinding with 27 percent in patients with wedge shaped defects.

[Volume estimation of non-caries related enamel defects].

The volume of wedge shaped defects can be estimated by means of massa suppositoriorum on a plaster cast. The substance are pressed in a graduated pipette. The average relative error is six percent. The absolute error of defects of 2.0, 10.0 respectively 20.0 mm3 ranges from 0.12, 0.6 to 1.2 mm3.

[Treatment of hypersensibility of the neck of tooth by occlusion correction and removal of parafunction].

Tooth sensitivity, parafunctions and stress were proved in 44 patients with wedge shaped defects significantly more frequent than in 17 patients without ones. A cuspid protected guidance and a sufficient free way space could be found in patients with cervical notch defects evidently fewer. After reestablishment of a cuspid protected guidance and of a sufficient free way space and reduction of parafunctions the sensitivity estimated by means of a dental probe could be removed permanent on a number of teeth after two weeks already. The parafunctions have been detected before by using selfoservations test by Schulte.

[How can the progress of wedge shaped defects be reduced? A longitudinal study of 2.5 years to aetiology].

Malocclusion was removed according to direction by Motsch and Schulte. In addition a sufficient free way space was made. The patient was enlightened on connection between stress and problems, which he can't overcome, and parafunctions. The volumeestimation of wedge shaped defects elicited a significant reduction of 45 percent in regard of the progress. In order to malocclusion and parafunctions play an important part in making cervical notch defects.

[Placement of the sensitivity tester in "Probaset" and "Probamat D"].

For ergonomical reasons the authors suggest, if a Probamat D unit and a fixed turbine are used, to place the turbine handpiece on the mount destined for the sensibility tester and to manufacture a new holder for the latter. The Probaset unit provides no place for the sensibility tester. Therefore, it is recommended to fit the bracket table with a suitable mount.

[Diagnosis of frequent periodontal diseases by the specialist for general dentistry].

It is reasonable to refer a patient to a specialist or a special clinic if the own diagnostic possibilities are not sufficient to elucidate the case. But the own diagnostic possibilities should be fully used to spare the patient unnecessary travelling and loss of time. The most reliable and important symptoms and the local causes of frequent periodontal diseases are described and tabulated. All the symptoms indicated may be verified in any institution by inspection, palpation, measuring of socket depth and radiological examination. In this way the specialist is general stomatology will be aided in establishing a periodontal differential diagnosis.
