Changing concepts in periodontics.

Abstract

This article reflects long-term observations of a clinician in private practice. Significant changes have occurred in periodontology in the past 50 years, while basic principles of periodontics have remained firm. State of the art and predictions of the future of periodontal practice are based on experience gained in both a general practice and a practice limited to periodontics.

[Whole body MRI--diagnostic strategy of the future?].

Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) opens new opportunities in diagnostic radiology as systemic disease entities can be examined with high sensitivity. This can lead to a change of paradigm, so that not only organ-related but rather disease-specific MRI examination protocols can be applied which focus on the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. Whole body MRI has already been successfully used for several oncological and non-oncological indications. In addition, whole body MRI has broadened the discussion regarding its use for secondary prevention. Compared to computed tomography, MRI does not use radiation. Although whole body MRI is still in an early stage, the enormous medical and economical potential can be envisioned.
