Epidemiologic studies on prevalence and etiology of functional disturbances of the masticatory system.

Clinical observations and data from the literature indicate a high prevalence of functional disturbances of the masticatory system, especially TMJ dysfunctions and bruxism. Clinical observations indicate that these disturbances are caused mainly by malocclusion, iatrogenic factors, and increased psychoemotional tension. On the basis of epidemiologic studies on five populations of different ages, the prevalence and etiology of functional disturbances of the masticatory system were analyzed. The need for causal local prophylaxis of functional disturbances was postulated.

[Relationship between caries resistance in permanent teeth of the Wrocław school children and the length of time of drinking-water fluoridation].

The age at which carious permanent teeth are equally distributed between upper and lower jaw depends upon the caries resistance of the individual. This age was called the "characteristic age" of the population. It was found that water fluoridation in Wrocław (1967) postponed this characteristic age by two years. In females, this age is earlier than in males. This method is useful in the appredication of the caries susceptibility of a population. The effect of water fluoridation upon this susceptibility was shown. Caries resistance was found to be higher in males.
