[10 years' experience of cryosurgery in the maxillofacial area].

The author informs through statistical statements about the ten years use of cryosurgery in the maxillofacial region and discusses and analyses the cryotherapy of selected groups of affection. Affections of any superficial, but of minor depth-effect--for instance leukoplakias--may generally be treated cryosurgical with much success. Good results are obtainable also with soft neoplasms, as hemangiomas, where distinct functional and aesthetic advantages are emphasized.

Cryosurgery

[Changes in clinical diagnosis].

Historical view of diagnostic reveals a permanent change which depends on epochs of social development. Physicians relationship with patients in the age of scientifical and technical revolution is liabel to special influences which are discussed and admits of conclusions for clinical diagnosis in dentistry.

[Multicentric retrospective study on the carcinoma of lips and oral mucosa. Analysis of coherence between pre- and posttherapeutical categories of classification].

The coherence between prae- and posttherapeutical TNM findings had been checked up in a multicentrically registered patient material of 2,481 non-praetreated plate epithelium carcinomas of the lips and oral mucosa. Whereas the extension of the tumour has in the main been the same, the findings on lymph nodes had a trend showing essential deviations. In a two-dimensional examination of 851 histologically prepared preparations of lymph nodes, a prognostic relevance acc. to metastases had been registered for the characteristics palpation finding of the lymph node, tumour extension, tumour infiltration. Multidimensional analyses have to be realized.

[Phantom head used to acquire skill in local anesthesia in the mandibular and maxillary regions (author's transl)].

This paper describes a phantom head used to acquire skill in local anesthesia in the mandibular and maxillary regions, thus helping students in putting theoretical knowledge into practice. An electric display device enables the student's proficiency level to be determined objectively. Five years' clinical testing of the phantom in the practical training of students shows the advantages of simulatory methods of training. Although this form of instruction cannot of course be regarded as an alternative to practical anesthetizing exercises on patients, yet it has proved a valuable addition to the various possible ways of putting theoretical knowledge into clinical practice.
