[Alternative filling methods for premolars and molars].

Extensive research and development work produced tooth-colored filling materials for premolars and molars which, although their indications are limited, provide for satisfactory treatment of cavities. But on account of their special properties these materials are unlikely to replace amalgam altogether. This would need products of a different nature. Currently available materials are at best complementary, but cannot be regarded as a true alternative.

Bicuspid

[Diagnostic limitations of isolated axiography interpretation].

Axiographic images of eccentric condylar paths can be more reliably interpreted by considering the clinical function data, compression test results and the MPI. In the case presented the abnormal position of the right condyle would have gone unnoticed without such a combined approach to the problem.

Cephalometry

[The witness in German criminal case (a contribution from the legal, psychological and psychiatrical view) (author's transl)].

The judgement of adult witnesses in particular cases, as sufficiently made clear by the described special case, is at least as necessary as a specialist's opinion of child testimony. Furthermore, it should be noted that the present modus of criminal proceedings does not allow for adequate objectivation possibilities of testimony of witnesses. Thirdly, it should be pointed out that at least for the so-called key witnesses a specialist's examination, i.e. by a psychiater and a psychologist is of great importance; it seems at least necessary that in problematic cases the specialist or the court should have the possibility to interrogate the witness to the exclusion of the public. It also seems of utmost importance to extend the judge's knowledge in the field relevant to the subject during his university education and also during his further professional instruction in order to enable him to identify problematical cases in time and decide on calling upon an adequate specialist.
