[The dental status of elderly people in Hungary--based on mass screening].

Twenty-three % of the Hungarian population was older than 60 years at the time of this epidemiological survey. This ratio increases gradually. So it is important to know the dental status of this population both from a professional and national health service point of view. The authors have evaluated the data of the dental health state of 2466 persons who were older than 60 years. The data were collected between 1986 and 1989. 1.8% of them kept all their teeth, 38.5% had no teeth at all. The average number of teeth was 3.49 on the upper and 4.57 on the lower jaw. 4-5% of the remaining teeth had caries. The ratio of filled teeth was 3.7% (male) and 6.8% (female). Periodontal problems were diagnosed in 34.2% (male) and 26.1% (female) of the patients. In 57.5% (male) and 73.0% (female) of the missing teeth were replaced. The cases where a large number of teeth were missing (class 2A, 2B, Fábián and Fejérdy classification) were quite often only partially treated.

[Function of the central sterilization office at the Semmelweis Clinic of Conservative Dentistry and Prosthodontics].

In order to prevent cross-infection by blood borne and other pathogens central sterilization department has been constructed in the common building of the Depts. of Conservative Dentistry and Prosthodontics. Instrument sterilization is accomplished in six steps: (1) consolidation and transport of instruments, (2) cleaning, (3) packaging, (4) sterilization, (5) storage, (6) sterilizer monitoring. This process is performed by trained sterilization technicians to ensure that attending faculty, student dentists, clinical staff and patients are protected from cross-infection caused by contaminated dental instruments.

[Distribution of the position of the last remaining tooth in otherwise edentulous mouth, based on mass screening].

The authors examined the frequency of the last remaining tooth's positions in both arches and they found the canine in the lower arch in 63% and the second molar in 13% of the second molar. In single remaining tooth situations the rate of wearing denture is 73%. The cariological status of these teeth is negligible in relation to the bad periodontal health conditions, which are not influenced essentially by crowns or wearing dentures.

[Dynamics of tooth loss In the adult population in Hungary].

The authors examined the dental status of 9991 hungarian adult people and they drawn the conclusion of the tooth-loss dynamics of the '80-es. It has been found, that in comparison with international data the number of lost teeth was shaping unfavourable. Nevertheless the rate of completely edentate patients in all age-groups shows a favourable tendency.

[Evaluation of the dental status from he viewpoint of denture requirements in the adult population of Hungary].

Authors found a rather high number of missing teeth of the Hungarian population, whereas the claim of the patients to dentures is less than the capacity of the dental professionals. The percentage of the patients wearing fixed and/or removable dentures is only around 50% (mean value), in the aesthetically not disadvantageous cases (i.e.: classes 1/a; 2/a; Fábián-Fejérdy) only 30-40%, but in the aesthetically disadvantageous cases 70-80% (i.e.: classes 1/b; 2/a/1; 3; Fábián-Fejérdy). The percentage of the men wearing dentures is higher than the percentage of the men (61.9% and 44.9% respectively). Authors concluded that, the most important expectations of the patients to dentures are aesthetic. The injurious effects of not reconstructed missing teeth have minor effects on the patients motivation.

[Critical review of the financing system of Prospective Payment/ Diagnosis Related Groups, based on experience in the United States of America].

The authors survey the causes and results of introduction of DRG system. The main cause for the introduction of this system was the sudden rise of costs experienced in the early 80ties. The introduction was followed by a manifest slowing down of cost rise, then again it started to increase a little. The internal efficiency of the institutions improved, the most outstanding example for that was the shortening of the average nursing time, the increase of the rate of outpatient consultations. The absolute value of costs did not decrease in spite of that because on the one hand medical technics are continuously developing and getting more expensive, on the other hand health care cannot as well be independent from the general processes of economy. Summarized it can be stated that the introduction of the DRG system in the USA did achieve its goal because it was able to slow down the rise of costs without serious operation disorders.

[New aspects of prosthetic treatment in adolescents].

The authors emphasise the similarities in the prosthodontic treatment of the 14-18 age group and adult patients. This is a new concept compared to the available reports in the scientific literature. According to their opinion permanent prosthodontic treatment should be provided from the age of fourteen.

[Why should teeth, used for anchoring partial prostheses, also be used as their support?].

It is proved by means of static models that, as regards the load of the periodontium, the teeth employed for the dental supporting and anchoring of partial dentures are in a much more favourable situation than the teeth employed but for anchorage. Viz. while the resultant of the axially and laterally directed forces resulting from supporting and anchoring does not become eccentric, the direction of the but anchorage force points out of the structure and entails an unfavourable torque on the tooth.

[Effect of partial dentures on the residual dentition and the periodontium].

The data of 969 dental arches replaced by partial denture, and 1282 dental arches of the same edentulousness but unreplaced, examined in an unselected population, have been analyzed from the point of view of the occurrence frequency of the gingivitis, the pocket, the movability and the caries. It has been stated that the effect of the prosthesis of the remaining teeth may be evaluated only by comparison with a suitable control group with no dentures. Furthermore, it has been stated that the remaining teeth are not damaged by well planned partial dentures (with metal base plates) while the wrongly planned dentures (with plastic base plates) develop a significant damaging effect.

[Restoration of unilateral borderline edentulousness (Fábián-Fejérdy prosthetic class 2A-2B)].

A frequent case of unilateral row and edentulousness is when, on one side, all three molars are missing and, thus, the second promolar is the last tooth. To solve such edentulousness a removable denture or a combined fix plus removable plate denture is suggested. By employing the principles of the prosthetical classification (Fábián-Fejérdy) the justification of the distally free end bridge is proved.

[Development of the dental arch and the palate from a prosthodontic point of view].

The replacement of missing teeth by a fixed restoration in the juvenile dentition presents various problems. One of them is that the growth and development of the entire masticatory organ continues until around the 18th year of age. It was the goal of a longitudinal study to find out when a fixed tooth replacement can be used in an adolescent without impairing the final development of the jaw bones. For this reason the transverse and sagittal dimensions of the dental arches of male adolescents aged 14 to 18 years were measured every year, and the palatal surfaces were measured in the first and last year of the study. The values determined for the dental arches remained constant. The mean values and deviations revealed no significant differences. From a prosthodontic point of view the development of the dental arches and the palate may be considered as concluded.
