[Methods for the partial preservation of teeth (hemisection etc.)].

The term hemisection, root amputation and tooth separation are defined. These methods of treatment should be employed after other proven therapeutic measures have failed and there is justification in the total situation for partial tooth preservation. Correct root canal filling of the remaining dental stumps is essential. Special indications exist in the molar region in the presence of deep parodontal disease. The technical details of the individual methods are described. Prognosis is good if the indications were correctly established.

[Comparison between the findings of the AOK health insurance company (position 01) and clinical diagnosis in Berlin patients].

The dental records of 9986 patients between the ages of 12 and 50 (position 01) of the AOK (Public Health Insurance) Berlin were studied concerning missing and carious teeth. The number of teeth and actual frequency of caries were established. It was shown that it was possible and practicable to obtain information on number and loss of teeth on the basis of sick notes. On the other hand the actual frequency of caries was found to be significantly higher on clinical examination than could be derived from AOK statistics: 12 to 15 year-olds showed on average 4,7 acute carious teeth on clinical examination as against 2,3 on AOK records.
