Coronal caries and restorations in an elderly population in Germany.

In an epidemiologic study, the dental health status of elderly persons in Germany was investigated. A total of 458 persons aged 60 yr and over participated in the study, with 89 persons being residents of old-people's homes. With a mean DMFS score of 87.3, the mean number of manifest caries was low (1.2) and the standard of conservative and prosthetic care high. Of a mean number of 17.75 filled surfaces, 59.6% were surfaces with crowns. Dental health is a social problem. The mean number of caries cavities was 10 times higher in institutionalized elderly persons of low social class than in non-institutionalized persons of the same age. Finally, initiatives to improve oral and dental hygiene in all age groups examined in this study are urgently required.

[Standardization of the keratinization-index by filter imprints].

Exfoliative-cytological procedures can demonstrate pathologic changes of the oral gingival epithelium. Filter-imprints of the gingiva of 31 male test persons were taken 6 times at intervals of 8 days under standardized conditions. The statistical evaluation of the "keratinization index" showed, that the extent of cornification of the healthy gingiva represents an individually different value for every test person. Variations in the course of 5 weeks were without statistical significance.

[In vivo study of variously concentrated fluoride gels in the surface enamel].

The efficacy of differently concentrated aminofluorides was determined under in vivo conditions. Enamel samples of human teeth were attached with a composite buccal surfaces of upper molars in 21 test persons and treated for 3 min with a 1.25% respectively, 0.4% aminofluoride gel. After 4 weeks in the oral cavity, during which no fluoride-containing dentifrices were used, the fluoride content of all enamel samples decreased. The results show, that the gel containing 0.4% fluoride was statistically less effective than the 1.25% gel. Intraoral factors seem to have more influence on the degree of demineralization than the fluoride content.

[Dried fruit as sugar substitute?].

Alternative foodstuffs restrict the usage of household sugar and instead recommend sweet honey or dried fruits; in popular informative magazines raisins and dried fruit are even described as "healthy snacks". In this study, with the help of sugar clearance and lactic acid measurements, the cariogenic potential of dried fruits is to be better estimated. The results clearly show that the alternative recommendations do not promote healthy teeth. The cariogenic potential of the named foodstuffs is comparable to sucrose containing products.

[Cartilage adhesion on the knee joint. Clinical follow-up].

During the years 1979 to 1982, 34 cartilage adhesion with fibrin were performed in the knee joint. 29 patients could be re-examined. 21 patients additionally underwent a control arthroscopy. Analyzation of the results showed that the prognostical outlook after a replantation of old cartilage fragments into a degeneratively affected fracture bed must be considered as poor. Better results were achieved when the cartilage lesion could be treated in a fresh state.

[Local effect of various fluoridation substances].

The topical fluoride application is a caries-preventive treatment. The fluoride uptake in surface and subsurface sound human enamel differs, depending on the fluoride preparation. Fluoride tablets, solutions, gels, tooth pastes and varnishes are widely used as anticaries agents. The rate of fluoride uptake by the surface enamel from three different fluoride applications (sodium fluoride, amine fluoride and fluorosilicate) was determined. When enamel war treated with amine fluoride the highest and most stable fluoride concentrations were obtained.
