[Oral hygiene program on the left bank of the Nervion: its effect on gingivitis].

The effect of monthly professional tooth clearing over gingivitis, without instructions of oral hygiene, was evaluated in a group of 69 children whose ages were from 6 to 12, in the left side of Nervión. The plaque index, PI, and gingival index GI, were registered in the initial exam, al 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. For the test group, the value of the plaque index in the initial exam was 1.57 and for the control group was 1.64. In totally 20 sessions, to the groups test were applied professional monthly clearing, followed by the "aplicación tópica de fluoruro sódico". After 6 months the study began, the plaque index for the group text was 1.18 and for the control group 1.30. In the same way, the gingival index turned out to be 0.21 for the text and 0.37 for the control. The final results gave a plaque index for the text group of 1.01 and for the control group 1.32 and the gingival index 0.29 for the test group and 0.71 for the control. This leads to the thinking that it's enough for children a monthly dental plaque removal, to prevent the develop of the gingivitis.

[Nutrition and oral health in gerodontology].

Nutrition has got a great influence on oldness phenomena. That is why people of age need to keep a prudent and equilibrated nutrition, what is achieved by a regulated diet. A bad nutrition increases the risk in certain clinic situations and overfeeding can have terrific effects because it may desequilibrated the metabolism. The food of an ancient person requires a special attention: it must be soft and easily chewed. They do not tolerate abundant meals and radical changes on daily diet must be avoided. In the present work we analize the nutrition on an ancient person, its characteristics and nutritional requirements, as good as the nutritional effects on the edentale patient.

[Dental prevention in the geriatric patient].

Dental health depends on the behavior of the individual in a great measure and of the groups. To achieve a general improvement of the situation at this respect is necessary the application of efficient measures of sanitary education . Many obstacles oppose to the adoption of a positive concept of dental health in gerontology, among them it is to emphasize the belief so widespread that dental problems can not be helped and its prevention turns out to be impossible. The aim of preventive gerontology will be the maintenance of dental health. With this, we will contribute to the attainment of the greatest possible level of physical, social and mental health of the elderly.

[Results of a survey of an elderly institutionalized population. 3. A group of elderly with remaining teeth and denture wearers].

It has been carried out an inquest in a geriatric group in institutionalised regime, classifying people interviewed depending on dental health in three groups: Group I: Edentate ancients bearers of total prosthesis. Group II: Ancients with remanent pieces. Group III: Ancients with remanent pieces and bearers of prosthesis. In the present work, all findings related to oral health are detailed, referred uniquely to group III: Ancients with remanent pieces and bearers of prosthesis. Obtained data let us get to some conclusions we consider must be of general diffusion for trying to understand and to solve the existing disputable in this segment of the population, so long forgotten and marginal.
