[Clinical evaluation of the quality of amalgam and polymer filling materials after various periods of function. A study of servicemen of the German armed forces].

A total of 354 amalgam and 123 polymer fillings in 50 soldiers were subjected to a post-treatment evaluation to obtain information on the life of plastic fillings. This study was performed using a simplified procedure based on the evaluation of margins, anatomic design, surface condition as well as (in polymer fillings) color. 45.5% of the single-surface and 67.9% of the multisurface amalgam fillings as well as 53% of the polymer fillings were in need of remaking. The quality of the fillings decreased with increasing age. Thus, only 12% of the newer (less than 4 years) but 30.8% of the older (greater than 4 years) amalgam fillings had the poorest ratings.

[Dental caries and the necessity of treatment in pre-school children].

A study concerning the intensity of caries, the oral hygiene, and the necessity for treatment was carried out with 816 children between the ages of three and five. The findings indicated age-related relationships, which are independent of sex and kindergarten enrollment. On the basis of the results, the conclusion was drawn that prophylactic measures for caries should be instituted as early as possible; kindergarten teachers and the parents should be instructed in the essentials of oral hygiene.
