Abstract

The effect of discussion seminars on the attitudes toward clinical problems within four affective domains in periodontics was studied in undergraduate dental students. Specially prepared case presentations which highlighted clinical problems were used in the seminars as well as for the evaluation. The tests were based upon the assumption that the viewpoints of the periodontal teachers are the correct ones and can be used to identify the affective objectives. The results of the present study indicate that the students' attitudes changed and became similar to the viewpoints of the faculty as an effect of the discussion seminars. This observation speaks in favor of the use of such seminars for effective teaching as a supplement to didactic teaching and clinical instruction.

[Treatment of smokers by the chirotesist Hermano. 5 year catamnesis].

A study of a random sample of 532 cigarette smokers was made among the persons treated by the chirothesist Hermano in Seon (Switzerland), who had cured smokers of their nicotine addiction. They were examined immediately befroe the treatment ritual, then 4 months, 1 year and 5 years after the treatment. The patients of the healer were chosen from all the strata of the population. They were heavy smokers with an average of 31 cigarettes smoking rate per day for males and 24 cigarettes per day for females. Four months after the treatment, 40% of the treated persons, 12 months after the treatment 32.5% and 5 years after it 20% of the treated persons were completely freed of recidivism. Another 3.7% did smoke but only sporadically up to 5 years. Two thirds of the patients mentioned a suggestive effect which they consciously registered or which they remembered in the sense that their urge to smoke had diminished partly or disappeared completely thanks to the treatment. The analysis of the dynamics of recidivism showed that apart from its complete absence the cases of partial success in the sense of a moderation of the smoking, or as to a transitional stoppage were only a few. The methodical control of the follow-up study showed that the recidivists showed a lesser readiness to answer during the catamnestic examinations and it is therefore necessary for all the follow-up studies as well as for the comparative therapeutical research to take into consideration the degree of completeness of the catamnestic examination.
