Post-extraction hemostasis during coumarin anticoagulant therapy with a locally applied coagulation-active substance.

A safe and simple method for the dento-alveolar attendance of patients on coumarin derivative therapy is reported. It eliminates the need to interrupt anticoagulant administration, while a physiologic coagulation-active substance consisting of fibrin, thrombin, and the patient's venous blood is used for hemostasis. This easy-to-prepare substance was applied following 53 extractions, two alveolar corrections and one resection of the third molar, and excellent hemostasis was observed without the occurrence of a secondary hemorrhage.

A study of 8 years' domestic salt fluoridation for prevention of caries.

The author reports on an 8-year study with 250 mg F/kg domestic salt fluoridation. During this period the dmft index in the 2-6 years age range decreased by 41%, the DMFT index in the 7-11 year age range decreased by 58%, and in the 12-14 year age range decreased by 36%. The proportion of cariesfree children also improved significantly, from 23% to 60%, from 4.8% to 41%, and from 2.7% to 8.4%, respectively. Urinary fluoride tests performed showed that with the concentration used, enough fluoride could not be ingested to reduce caries to the level anticipated with water fluoridation, but even so the caries reduction was significant. Experiments are now continuing with 200 mg F/kg and 350 mg F/kg domestic salt mixtures.

Factors influencing the urinary fluoride level in subjects drinking fluoride-poor waters.

The influence on the urinary F level of the short-term consumption of drinking water of 1 mg/litre fluoride content, of the ingestion of low (1.0 to 2.0 mg) and higher (7.0 and 8.0 mg) fluoride doses and of tea has been studied. Excess fluoride is rapidly excreted with urine, and may disturb the results of urinary fluoride estimation. The urinary F level responds sensitively to the ingestion of fluorine.

Effect of drinking waters of high fluorine content on the urinary fluoride level.

The urinary fluoride level has been studied in 307 subjects consuming drinking waters of different fluoride concentrations. The urinary fluoride level was found to increase with the fluoride content of the drinking water. The urinary F level of the population group drinking water of optimum fluoride concentration was 1.14 mg of fluoride per litre. Thus, in regions where the drinking water contains an insufficient amount of fluoride, the fluoride content of domestic salt must be adjusted so as to ensure an about 1.14 mg/litre urinary F level of the population.

Urinary fluoride levels of population groups consuming salts different in fluoride concentration.

The effect of urinary level of a prolonged consumption of table salts containing 200, 250 or 350 mg/kg of fluoride has been studied. Urinary F concentration was increasing with all the three kinds of salt. In the group of consumers using 200 and 250 mg F/kg salt the equilibrium has been reached, but the urinary F level was still below that observed in populations who are drinking water of 1 mg/l F concentration. The equilibrium in the 2--14-year age groups consuming 350 mg F/kg salt could not yet set in. It is concluded that even a mixture of 350 mg F/kg is not in excess of the optimum and is far from the tolerated limit. Thus, this latter mixture may be used for caries prevention in areas with F-deficient drinking water, although it may be still less than the optimum.

[The daily consumption of table salt in relation to body weight].

The fluoride concentration of table salt and kitchen salt used for the prevention of caries can only be determined when the consumption of salt is related to the bodyweight (Kg). Therefore the amount of salt consumed was determined in 242 subjects aged between 4 months and 85 years. The subjects lived in different parts of Hungary. The daily average intake of salt (ingestion) per kg was 0.0668 g. The consumption of salt is greater in youth than later. Men up to the age of 30 appear to consume more salt than women, but in relation to the whole group investigated, there is no important difference between the two sexes. The average commercial sales data over a number of years were compared with the average salt consumption in a kitchen service for 2929 persons.
