[Diagnosis of dental caries based on intra-oral roentgenograms].

On 238 intra-oral roentgenograms there were assessed carious process, shape, size, extent and depth of defects as well as the possibility of complications in teeth which were not treated. There were assessed 277 defects, out of which 194 in upper teeth and 83 in lower ones. In all the teeth of the maxilla and of the mandible there was found the greatest number of amorphic defects and semilunar contact surfaces. There were also observed a lot of defects in radiciform cementum, thus, often under the gingivae. These are sites difficult for access for clinical examination. That is why radiologic examination is often conclusive in localizing carious process and in accurate diagnosing in the case of pulpitis going on.

[Localization of retained teeth in radiogram].

The purpose of the study was evaluation of various possibilities of localization of retained teeth. The study was carried out on 86 patients referred to the Department of Conservative Stomatology, Institute of Stomatology Medical Academy in Lublin. Retained teeth were discovered in them accidentally or in examinations for various symptoms. On the basis of history data, clinical examination and radiological findings the following localization of retained teeth was recognized: 1) lateral or anterior part of the mandible, 2) lateral or anterior part of the maxilla, 3) maxillary sinus or its vicinity, 4) ascending ramus or condular process, 5) vicinity of the lower orbital margin and piriform fossa.

[Study on the content of certain elements in retained teeth].

The content of calcium, phosphorus.potassium and zinc was determined in 21 retained canine teeth and in a control group of canine teeth erupted completely. In the measurement the method of X-ray fluorescence was used. The obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis. In relation to control canines the retained teeth contained significantly more calcium and phosphorus and significantly less potassium. No significant differences were found in zinc content.

[Congenital absence of permanent teeth].

In 76 patients treated at the Department of Conservative Stomatology, Institute of Stomatology, Medical Academy in Lublin congenital absence of anlages of permanent teeth was found. The patients were aged 8 to 18 years, including 49 girls and 27 boys. In the whole group absence of 214 teeth was noted, i.e. 136 in girls and 78 in boys. In the examinations it was observed that congenital absence of permanent teeth was more frequent in girls than in boys, 2) most frequently only one tooth was absent in a given patient, 3) upper teeth were lacking more frequently than lower teeth, and absence of right teeth was more frequent than left teeth, 4) the greatest group among absent teeth were upper lateral incisors, while second upper molars in the maxilla were least frequently absent.

[Analysis of correlations between the content of various elements in hard tissues of milk teeth with and without caries].

Using the method of atomic absorption spectrometry the levels of calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, strontium, nickel, manganese, copper were determined in the hard tissues of milk teeth with and without caries and the interrelations between these elements were analysed The obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis with an IMP 85 m computer. In the present study the analysis of the interrelations between elements was based on correlations and regression analyses. Many statistically significant interrelations were revealed between Mn and Fe, Mn and Zn, Mn and Cu, Mn and Ni, Fe and Zn, Fe and Cu, Fe and Ni, Zn and Cu, Zn and Ni. A decrease of the correlation coefficients was noted in carietic teeth. For the highly correlated elements equations of simple regression were calculated. A significant correlations was noted between caries and the levels of Mg, Zn, Fe, Sr, Ni, Mn, Cu in the hard tissues in milk teeth. The carietic milk teeth contained less Mg, Fe, Sr, Ni, Mn and Cu and much more Zn as compared to teeth without caries.

[Clinical evaluation of metronidazole in the treatment of the periodontal abscesses].

On the basis of clinical examination it has been found that Metronidazole which was applied in 24 patients suffering from periodontal abscesses produced healing effects, lessened their pain and did not cause any side reactions. The values of PI (Russell rate) were considerably lower after the treatment comparing to the initial state, which confirms the therapeutic effectiveness of the drug.

[The importance of trace elements in the aetiology of dental caries].

Data reported in the literature on the role of trace elements in the aetiology of dental caries are reviewed. The study of these elements--apart from fluorine--whose anticarietic or carietogenic effects have not yet been established, may shed new light on the carietic process and may contribute to a better knowledge of its cause.

[Analysis of inquiry responses related to visits of stomatological patients depending on age, sex and educational level].

The purpose of the study was demonstration of possible relationships between the frequency of visits to stomatological office and the age, the sex and the educational level of the patients. The analysis covered 776 responses to an inquiry obtained from the patients visiting the Department of Conservative Stomatology. Comparative statistical analysis showed that these parameters had no effect on the frequency of visits to stomatological surgery. With a high likelihood one can state that this frequency depends on adequately conducted health education, wide network of specialist services, and the health care of the population.

[Strontium content in hard tissues of milk teeth with and without caries].

By the method of atomic absorption flame spectrophotometry the strontium level was determined in the hard tissues of milk teeth with and without caries. The studied material comprised 163 milk teeth, including 81 with caries. All teeth were obtained from children of either sex living in Lublin. The material was divided into three age groups: up to 6 years, 6-10 years, and over 10 years. The obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis using an IMP85 m computer. It was found age and sex had no significant effect on the strontium level in the hard tissues of healthy milk teeth. However, a significant correlation was observed between strontium level and caries presence. Milk teeth with caries contained less strontium than carietic teeth.

[Iron content of carious and non-carious milk teeth hard tissues].

Using the method of atomic absorption spectrophotometry the iron level was determined in the hard tissues of carietic and non-carietic milk teeth. The studied material comprised 163 milk teeth, including 81 with caries. All teeth were obtained from children of both sexes living in Lublin. The material was divided into age groups aged up to 6 years, 6-10 years and over 10 years. The obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis with an IMP 85 m computer. A significant correlation was found between the iron level in the hard tissues of the milk teeth and caries. The carietic milk teeth contained significantly less iron as compared to healthy teeth. The iron level in non-carietic milk teeth decreased with age. Sex was without effect on the level of this element in the dental hard tissues.

[Usefulness of radiological examinations in the diagnosis of supernumerary teeth].

Existence of the supernumerary teeth has been found in 39 persons at the age of 8 to 69. There were 61.6% of the cases at the age when dentition exchange takes place and 38.4% of the cases during maturity. Clinical and radiological examinations have been carried out in these patients. The radiograms obtained have been found useful in detection, description and treatment of this dental anomaly.

[Age and content of certain mineral components in permanent teeth].

The chemical composition of the teeth is determined during its development, however, in the postdevelopmental period changes of inorganic components are possible, which have an important effect on the morphology, structure and chemical composition of teeth. Using the method of X-ray fluorescence the levels of Ca, P, Cl, S, K and Zn were determined in hard tissues of 218 permanent non-carietic teeth from all dental groups. The correlation between these various elements in the teeth and the age of the subjects, whose teeth were taken for the investigations, was expressed with the correlation coefficient r of Pearson. The significance of the correlation was analysed using Students t test. In case of significant correlation equations of regression were determined for predicting the expected value of the level of a given element in teeth for a given age. No significant differences were noted in the levels of Ca and P in relation to age. The levels of S, K and Zn rose with age, while the chloride content was decreasing.
