[Hemisection of molars in the mandible].

Indication, contra-indication, and course of treatment with hemisection are presented. Apart from that principles on dental-arch prosthetic treatment of a hemi-dissected tooth are particularly mentioned here. On the basic of own experiences with 21 treatments can be said the prognoses is good.

Denture, Partial, Fixed

[Adhesive bridge and marginal periodontium--results of a prospective study after a period of wear of 2-3 years].

After a period of wear of 2-3 years in 48 adhesive bridges periodontal criteria (SBI and PI) were determined around the abutment teeth and compared with the condition before the insertion of the restaurations. Significant increase in the index values on the oral side of these abutment teeth was found out. Here the distance from the gingiva to the margin of restaurations was smaller than 1 mm.

Dental Plaque Index

[Studies on the condition of marginal periodontium depending on the shape of the bridgework body].

Within an 8-years-longitudinal study 40 patients with 30 tangential and 28 open bridges were examined. The accumulation of plaque as well as the degree of inflammation of the gingiva adjacent to the bridgework binder and the bridgework bodies were determined by means of selected indices, and the data obtained were compared to those evaluated when the bridges were fitted in. The results show that the accumulation of plaque (on) with open bridge was slightly elevated as compared to tangential bridges whereas the inflammation of the gingiva was significantly increased with tangentially shaped bridgework bodies. For this reason open bridges should be used further more in areas, where aesthetics play only a secondary role.
