[Long-term results of treated bi- and trifurcations in periodontitis profunda].

In 180 patients treated between 1971 and 1989 and subjected to regular follow-up checks, a total of 1111 molar teeth have been studied. 944 of them showed furcation involvement. Primarily 828 furcation involved teeth (87.7%) could be saved. The most frequently used method of treatment was flap surgery in primary treatment, and curettage in secondary treatment. Radectomy has gained ground in the past few years in the treatment of class III furcations. A treatment concept emphasizing the discriminating use of various treatment methods allows long-term preservation of molars with advanced furcation involvement.

[65 years ARPA/DGP--development of periodontology in the Federal Republic of Germany].

A review of the founding and development of the German ARPA (Association for Periodontal Research) and the ARPA International is presented. Those researchers who shaped and influenced the ARPA were also instrumental in the development of periodontics in Germany. The changes in nomenclature and therapeutic concepts over the decades are also depicted. In 1970 the ARPA became the DGP (German Society of Periodontology). The DGP was one of the founders of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology. In Germany over the past few decades, an attempt has been made to place periodontics in its appropriate position within dentistry with respect to teaching and research.

[Recall rate criteria in a periodontal office].

It was the objective of this study to identify parameters which influence the rate of recall. In 1987 a total of 845 recall treatments were given to 372 patients. Recorded variables were quality of oral hygiene, papilla bleeding index, and number of teeth with pockets greater than 3 mm. These results plus the number of capped teeth were related to the recall rate. Bad oral hygiene and a correspondingly higher papilla bleeding index require a more frequent recall. However, these variables show little influence on the number of teeth with deep pockets. A higher recall rate in patients with bad oral hygiene cannot always prevent gingivitis, but progression of the disease into periodontitis and loss of attachment.

[Comparative studies on panoramic radiographic (Panorex) and intra-oral radiographs].

27 patients with periodontal lesions were examined by Panorex layered film and 14 intra-oral dental X-ray films (Updegrave's long tube right angle technique). The result of this enquiry shows that the two radiological methods do not compete with one another. Each has advantages over the other which derive from fundamentally different exposure techniques. The dental status films with right angle technique are superior in showing clear periodontal structures and hard dental tissue whilst the Panorex method gives X-ray surveillance over the whole mastication organ and neighbouring structures which cannot be visualised in its entirety by the intra-oral method.
