[Regional epidemiologic examination of dental health status].

This study examined the oral status of the adult population in South-West Hungary using panoramic radiographs. The results indicate that in this population group 5.2% of the teeth were carious and 38.6% were missing, 3.87% were endodontically treated. Around the apices of the endodontically treated teeth in this survey in 40%, radiographic signs of periapical pathology were observed. Only 18% of the missing teeth had fixed prosthodontic restoration. The results are indicating a substantial future need for dental treatment.

[Clinical experience with the use of benzylalcohol and amyl-m-cresol (Strepsils) in stomatological diseases].

The results gained with the treatment of benzylalcohol and amyl-m-cresol tablets in oral inflammatic diseases (153 cases) and in the prophylaxis of possible infections (119 cases) accompanied with surgical interventions has been summarised. It was concluded that, the average healing process shortened by 30% in time, and the quality parameters (pain, function etc.) showed 30% better results in 78.4% of the cases treated with Strepsils. 88.3/ of patients preferred to get the tablets, the tolerability was excellent. The two third of the patients suffering from inflammatory diseases reported reduction of the pain within the first 60 minutes after the very first tablet application. The experience gained with 272 patients showed very good effectivity especially in the cases aphtha, gingivostomatitis herpetica, stomatitis mycotica, gingivitis, denture stomatitis, erythema exsudativum multiforme, stomatopharyngitis, periodontitis. The drug has showed of remarkable result in the prophylaxis of periodontal, dentoalveolar, implant, soft tissue, maxillofacial surgical interventions.

[Experience with clindamycin in stomatologic diseases].

In 114 patients suffering from dental inflammatory diseases (periostitis, gingivitis, sinusitis, periodontitis etc.) and in 41 cases of dental surgical procedures (implantation, dentoalveolar surgery etc.) 3 x 300 mg/day clindamycin was applied during 7 days in the framework of GCP phases IV. In 150 cases (97%) the product proved to be effective and only in 2 cases a mild side effect was observed. On the base of the results clindamycin can be advised for the treatment of stomatological diseases.

[The use of benzyl alcohol and amyl-m-cresol (Strepsils) in the oral cavity. (Review of the literature and first clinical experiences)].

The authors summarised the literature data of benzylalcohol and amyl-m-cresol. In the clinical practice they used Strepsils in the treatment of 22 patients suffered from oral inflammatic diseases and in the 20 prophylactic cases of oral surgical interventions. The preliminary clinical report shows that, the Strepsils seems to be very effective in the treatment of oral inflammations and in the prophylaxis too.

[The tendency of antibiotic therapy in dental and oral surgical practice].

The large number of dental inflammations can be explained by the bad general dental condition in Hungary. Antibiotics have been used more extensively here then in several other countries. The recently introduced antibiotics are preserving the beneficial effects of the older ones with less side effects. The oral flora and their resistance to antibiotics are very different in certain countries. Therefore the professional protocols of the stomatological inflammations followed by certain countries cannot be applied directly in other countries. The changing resistance and the appearance of the new antibiotics make necessary the general evaluation of different antibiotics from time to time. The patients, the doctors and the society has the same interest: to get or provide more and more fast, safe and effective treatment. But to achieve this objective the dentists have to reevaluate their treatment habits accordingly.

Anti-Bacterial Agents↗

[Use of drugs in stomatology II. Use of antibiotics in dental practice].

The authors summarized 514 questionner on dental patient medication, and established that, the dentists use an average in Hungary 29 box antibiotics per months. The most frequently prescribed medicine (Dalacin C, Rulid, Augmentin, Semicillin, Maripen, Doxycycline) take the 75% of the total number. The 52% of dentists use antibiotics for prophylactic aims, 94.6% for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. The examination gave data for creating the picture of the use of antibiotics in Hungarian dental practice in 1995.

[Use of drugs in dentistry I. Introductory study].

The authors summarized 514 questioners on the dental patient medication in the general stomatological practice. In the 10 medication group they count 135 different drugs. The number of different minor analgesics were 28 the medicines for local application 26, and the brand of antibiotics 22. The hungarian dentist use 23 different drugs, 5 antibiotics, 5 medicine for local application. An average of the dentist monthly dosage is 97.6 box of medicine (29 antibiotics, 23.2 minor analgesics, 18.4 local anesthetics, 17.5 local drugs). The 70% of the medicines hungarian origin in the dental practice.

Analgesics↗

[Prophylactic use of roxithromycin in dental procedures].

In this study roxithromycin was applied for prophylactic treatment of 104 patients (implantology, dentoalveolar surgery, risk patients etc.) underwent dental surgery. The efficacy and side effects of roxithromycin were studied. The efficacy of this antibiotic was 92%, gastrointestinal complains, as the most common side effects were obtained in 2.8% of the patients treated with roxithromycin.

[Dental status and treatment requirements of the elderly population of Györ, a major Hungarian city (I)].

We performed a 'random sampling' oral health survey in a Hungarian city among the elderly population. This examination was a part of an International Standard Research. The most important result of this survey is, the high number of toothless and edentulous persons. Therefore, the demand for periodontal and restorative treatment is unimportant from the point of view of epidemiology. We emphasize, that it is very important to save the remains of dentition by improvement of personal ral hygiene, regular scaling and crown or bridgework in addition to prosthetic rehabilitation.

[Prosthetic status, conditions of the oral mucosa and temporomandibular joint, as well as treatment needs in the elderly population of a Hungarian city (Györ) II].

In a Hungarian city a special oral health survey concerning prosthetic status, oral mucosa and temporo-mandibular joint condition of the elderly population has been performed by standardized methods. The most frequent prosthetic finding was the removable prosthetic appliance (denture). It is suggested, that the number of dentures should be decreased with higher priority for the preservation of natural dentition and it should be achieved to change the dentures at proper intervals among denture-wearing patients. The prevalence of temporo-mandibular joint function-disturbances was low. In order to diagnose earlier the praecancerous lesions and conditions a regular oral health survey at least once a year among the people above 55 years of age should be organized.

[Current trends in antibiotic therapy in dentistry].

The place and role of surgical, dental physio- and pharmacotherapy in oral and head and neck diseases has been debated for decades. In addition the price and reimbursement system had been changed lately in our country that also underlines the relevance of this issue. The overconsumption (1.7 packages per inhabitant per year) of antibiotics is also proven in Hungary. Beside surgical and dental interventions the treatment of dental inflammations caused by pathogenics requires the administration of different kinds of antibiotics. The first choice antibiotic is determined on the base of clinical features and general resistance of oral flora in the given period. When the first choice antibiotic proves to be ineffective, treatment has to be followed by antibiotics determined on individual resistance. In stomatology antibiotics are administered for prevention or treatment of dental inflammations. The length of therapy has a great importance which is usually 4 days in prevention and 5 days in treatment of dental inflammations. The modern antibiotics have to comply with the following requirements: efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness. The typical mistakes in the administration of antibiotics can be avoided by the application of therapeutical schedules. The macrolide and cephalosporin derivates have become more and more popular. The mixed bacterium flora has been changing in time and also influenced by geographical factors depending on the habit of prescriptions. Therefore the experiences obtained in other countries are not applicable.

[Linear model of the pathogenesis of the temporomandibular pain-dysfunction syndrome].

In the research of temporomandibular pain-dysfunction syndrome the etiological model of disease was created by a statistical system not applied until now. Of this it can be concluded that for the formation of the disease psychotic factors and oral parafunctions are responsible. Of the examination it became apparent that the cross sectional examination of the casual factors of the disease should be advisably carried out together with their correlations.

[Linear model of the etiology of temporomandibular pain dysfunction syndrome].

The investigation searched if a relatively complete, empirically tested model of the etiology of the mandibular dysfunction can be set up. The so-called LISREL- (Linear Structural Relationship) method was used for statistic evaluation. All factors showing a direct connection with the anamnestic and clinical dysfunction index were built into the model. The results led to the conclusion that anxiety and constitutional joint factors also play a role in the occurrence of mandibular dysfunction. The most important etiological factors are given by malocclusions, by occlusal interferences, impaired general state of health and parafunctions.

[Pathogenesis of temporomandibular dysfunction. II. Statistical method].

The variables of the epidemiologic assessments concerned with the aetiology of the mandible joint disfunction were examined in the course of statistical analyses, in general, in their pairwise connections and possibly a multi-variable linear regression calculation was employed. In the course of the examination, for establishing the linear, empirically tested model of the aetiology of the mandible joint disfunction a new type statistical method, the LISREL (Linear Structural Relationship) method was employed. An advantage of this assessment consists in that not only observed variables may figure as the variables of the structural equation but also latent variables which cannot be observed but it is supposable that they are factors of the observed variables. This statistical method is described in closer details in the article in connection with the forming of the aetiological model.

Analysis of Variance↗

[Pathogenesis of temporomandibular joint dysfunction. I. Cross sectional study].

The forming of the pathography is explained from several view points by the publications dealing with the aetiology of the mandible joint disfunction. One viewpoint emphasizes the role of teeth factors, another one stresses the significance of the mandible joint disfunction were examined in the course of statistical analyses, causality. For the epidemiologic examination of the mandible joint disfunction a questionary was worked out which was filled in by the examined persons, this followed by a clinical examination in which factors seemingly important concerning the development of the disease were examined. In knowledge of the statistical methods employed in the foregoing researches it was tried to elaborate the cross-sectional examination results in a modern way.

[Pathogenesis of temporomandibular joint dysfunction. III. Analysis of results].

Those factors were built in in the aetiological picture (model) of the mandible joint disfunction which showed direct connection with the clinical and anamnestic data of the disfunction. Factors used for establishing the model: social situation, joint lesions, psychic factors, the general health condition, position anomalies of the teeth and tooth groups, tooth contact troubles, oral parafunctions. In forming the mandible joint disfunction hereditary joint factors and a tendency to oppression may also have a role. However, the most important aetiological factor is the parafunction caused by the effect thereof and of local anomalies, occlusional deviations and a cachectic health condition.
