[Standardized apical titanium pin for plugging the root canal during apicoectomy].

A new procedure for apical closure after apical root resection with a metal filling is presented which is easy to handle with appropriately standardized equipment and ensures exact apical closure. By conical preparation of the whole root, a standardized metal peg which resists distortion can be used for anchoring the crown prosthesis without further preparation. Temporarily a standardized guttapercha peg can be used for closure. Even if renewed work on the root becomes necessary later, the apical metal closure remains firm because of its wedging.

[Microbial and resistance spectrum of jaw infections].

According to this investigation, antibiotic treatment of odontogenous abcesses should be directed primarily against streptococcus and staphylococcus, even if gram-negative pathogens have apparently increased. The response on the part of streptococcus to antibiotics has not changed essentially during the last five years. Staphylococcus however has developed a resistance to penicillin and ampicillin.

[Photoelastic studies for the fixation of osteosynthesis plates].

Because of the biomechanics of the mandible, several viewpoints must be considered in stable metal plate osteosynthesis. A particular AO mandibular dynamic compression (DC) plate with perforations in a 45 degrees arrangement ("Freiburg Zuggurtungsplatte") has been developed to create an interfragmentary pressure zone in the region of the teeth during function. Photoelastic experiments showed that interfragmentary pressure developed due to this arrangement of perforations. To avoid a gap in the lingual region distant from the plate and to enable interfragmentary pressure in this region during function, converging screws are discussed. Photoelastic experiments showed that by slight inclination of the screws in convergent position the interfragmentary pressure is already increased in the lingual fracture gap distant from the plate. For a better guide of the screws in convergent position, an alteration of the spheric DC slide hole should be considered.

Osteosynthesis of mandibular fractures using lag screws.

Osteosynthesis with lag screws is an essential supplement to osteosynthesis with mental plates. It is especially suitable in association with a neutralization plate for stabilization of short lamellar fractures. Wide lamellar fractures can be functionally stabilized with two or, in rare cases, three screws.

[Studies on the pharmacodynamics and compatibility of the local anesthetic carticain].

Two local anesthetics were compared with a placebo with regard to subjective tolerance and influence on driving capacity in a double blind test in eight male probands. Neither performance, the ability to respond, reactivity, nor fine motor coordination were reduced or impaired five to sixty minutes after a submucous injection of 3.6 ml of the local anesthetics tested. There were no changes of self-evaluation in the sense of a changed active-passive polarity.
