[The factors affecting the risk for the loss of resin-bonded bridges].

1310 three-unit resin-bonded bridges were examined for their failure rates. After five years 86% (+/- 4%) were still in situ. 64% (+/- 5%) didn't need rebonding. Significant prognostic factors were: preparation of abutments, surface treatment (net retention, silicoating), type of luting agent (Bis GMA) and mobility of the abutments.

[Actual facial points as indication for bonded bridges].

The results of recent long-term investigations show that the failure rates of adhesive bridges vary between 0% and 50%. Since only a few clinical and material effects--which in some cases are contradictory--on the success or failure could be definitively detected so far, establishment of the indication is of particular importance: Three-unit bridges have proved to have the best prognosis at present. There are no significant differences between the regions of the front and side teeth and between the upper and lower jaw. Abutments loosened to various degrees increase the risk as well as the parafunctional strain on abutments and the bridge. Caries and gingivitis is rarely observed in patients with adhesive bridges. This is due to the follow-up care practised in the studies and by no means obviates the need for regular checks of hygiene.

[Survey of the dental prosthodontic care provided for residents of Würzburg old people's homes].

Three hundred and six residents of Würzburg old people's homes (average age: 81 years) were interviewed and examined with regard to their dentures and need for treatment as well as their oral hygiene. Most of the subjects had removable dentures. Oral symptoms, restricted masticatory ability and difficulties with the dentures were reported by only about one third of the senior citizens, although the caries and periodontopathy morbidity was high and considerable defects were found in the crowns, bridges and dentures. Similarly, the subjects own reports on their oral care regimen was contradicted by the poor oral and denture hygiene observed in fact. Neither was there assistance in oral hygiene from the nursing staff nor systematic professional care. Altogether, there is a great need for dental prosthetic treatment in the subjects of this study.
