Successful periodontal treatment for the elderly.

The demographic reality of a rapidly growing elderly population segment presents the practicing dentist with certain imperatives and challenges. Familiarity with the healthy aging process and common medical conditions of the aged is becoming increasingly essential. Customized treatment plans and modifications in techniques and home care aids require flexibility and creativity. In addition, it should not be overlooked that this demographic reality also presents the practicing dentist with new opportunities for practice-building as well as personal and professional satisfaction.

This article has focused on the various aspects of patient evaluation that is a vital component in the total care of the dental patient. It must be emphasized that dentists are ultimately responsible for the overall management of the patients that they are treating, and only by careful selection and treatment plan can the practitioner maximize the benefits while minimizing the dangers inherent in outpatient anesthesia.

A quantitative measurement of bacteremia and its relationship to plaque control.

Despite the improvement in the patients' oral hygiene, there was no significant decrease in the frequency of bacteremia. There was no significant difference in bacteremia between brushing, flossing, or deplaquing either before or after initial periodontal preparation and plaque control in 21 healthy subjects. Utilizing more sophisticated bacteriologic techniques for the cultivation of obligate anaerobes, a relatively high frequency of anaerobic bacteremia was found.

Vitamin E and periodontal disease.

Vitamin E levels in patients with and without periodontal disease were measured. There was no significant difference in the levels of serum vitamin E between these two groups. These data do not provide support for the treatment of inflammatory periodontal disease with vitamin E.

The problem-oriented record: clinical application in a teaching hospital.

A dental team-care concept that incorporates the problem-oriented system has been instituted at The Medical College of Pennsylvania. The program, as described, is designed to achieve the following goals: 1) to enhance communication between doctors and auxiliaries and thus maintain continuity in patient care and improve the quality of care; 2) to identify all problems related to the care of a patient; 3) to evaluate the educational and technical ability of the residents and students; 4) to achieve an effective dental auxiliary utilization program; 5) to increase faculty involvement in the delivery of patient care; 6) to organize an effective system of peer review; 7) to maintain complete, accurate and systematic medical-dental records; and 8) to encourage an interdisciplinary approach to health care delivery.
