[Hydrogen peroxide, chloramine T and chlorhexidrine in the disinfection of acrylic resin].

The effectiveness of 3% h drogen peroxide, 5% chloramine T and 0,5% chlorhexidine gluconate solutions in disinfection of acrylic resine plates massively infected with oral flora was analysed. The acrylic resine plates used for investigations, were infected in vitro with mixed salivary flora characterized by small numbers of yeast-like fungi (1st group), or great number of these microorganisms (2nd group). Infected plates were exposed to solutions of analysed disinfectants during various time periods. After rinsing or inactivation of disinfectant residues, acrylic plates were put into bacteriological medium and incubated during 7 days period in 37 degrees C. The results of this study indicated the effectiveness of acrylic plates disinfection to be dependent on used disinfectant, time of exposition, and microorganisms present on the surface of acrylic resine. The solutions of disinfectants were less active in the cases of plates infected with material containing great numbers of yeast-like microorganisms. Among analysed disinfectants 0,5% solution of chlorhexidine was characterized by most effective and rapid activity, whereas 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide was found to be the least effective.

[Gdansk combined crown with occlusal rest. 1. Clinical and laboratory preparation of combined crown with occlusal rest on the basis of cast crown].

The combined crown used since many years in the Prosthetic Laboratory, Institute of Stomatology, Medical Academy in Gdańsk contains an occlusal rest basis of a cast crown (the metal part is of a gold alloy or chromium-nickel steel, with veneer of acrylateor Colorstat) provides, owing to a special preparation of the abutment tooth and laboratory procedure, full stabilization of the crown, protection of parodontium and good maintenance of the veneer which plays a cosmetic role in this type of crown. The combined crowns with occlusal rest are particularly suitable for supporting bridgeworks. They may be applied onto devitalized or live teeth since they require less extensive grinding of teeth.
