[The role of tartar in the light of the modern clinical-epidemiological, morphological and immunological studies].

After the public recognition of the dental plaque as the primary etiological factor for the diseases of gingiva and periodontium, the tartar is the object of comparatively small number of studies. The author discusses the publications during the last 25 years, grouping the results from the epidemiological, clinical, morphological and immunological studies. Throwing light on new aspects of the pathogenetic role of the tartar in maintaining and chronification of the gingival inflammation as well as in osseous resorption, puts new accent on the necessity of its removal in prophylaxis and therapy. The importance of tartar as a reservoir of antigen substances associated with the total reactivity of macro-organisms is stressed upon.

[Method for assessment and control of deposited plaque upon removable plastic orthodontic apparatuses].

The keeping of oral hygiene is of great importance during orthodontic treatment--for prophylaxis of caries and gingivae. The authors propose and Index for the hygiene of orthodontic apparatuses (IHOA) for the broad orthodontic practice, that is based on staining and scraping of the accumulated plaque by four fields of the removable orthodontic apparatus--in contact with the dental-gingival and mucosal surfaces. The scores from 0 to 3 enable the modification of the behaviour of the stomatologist and parents as regards the motivation, control and necessity of additional means for attaining the desired hygiene of the orthodontic apparatus.

[Clinical method for objectivization of the effect of oral-hygienic agents on dental plaque and gingiva].

The authors propose a model complex of methods for objectivization of the effect of oral-hygienic agents. Attention is drawn to the selection and preparation of the probands for the clinical experiment, describing also the conditions of the experiment. The most appropriate indices for the evaluation of the effect of the oral-hygienic agents also presented: 1. Doublet plaque-index according to T. Dzemileva and M. Drjankova--enabling the parallel differential evaluation and recording of the incidence and thickness of the dental plaque. 2. Index of Fjodorov and Volodkina--particularly adequate for investigation of the agents for mechanical removal of dental plaque. 3. PMA-index--giving an idea of the therapeutic-prophylactic action of the oral-hygienic agents on gingival status. 4. Supragingival and bilateral probe-imprint--according to the well known method of T. Dzemileva et al. The proper selection of the methods for objectivization of the effect of the oral-higienic agents will guarantee the reliability of the results.
