Microscopic study of the pulps of human teeth following vital root resection.

The effects of vital root resection upon the remaining pulp were studied in twenty-six periodontally involved human molars. The pulp was extirpated 14 days after the intervention. Granulomatous tissue present in the pulp chamber protruded from the site of the exposure as a polyp in eleven cases. Mild chronic inflammatory changes were present in the coronalmost part of the radicular pulp. The apical pulp was not affected at this time interval.

Dens evaginatus (tuberculated cusps): genetic and treatment considerations.

This report documents the occurrence of a rare dental anomaly, dens evaginatus, in several members of a family of Guatemalan Indian descent. Previous reports on this anomaly reveal that the majority of cases have occurred in persons of Mongoloid extraction. These same reports have suggested a genetic component in the etiology of the anomaly, with most cases, however, occurring randomly. This is the first report in which the trait has been reported in successive generations. The precise mechanism of genetic transmission is still not entirely clear, although autosomal dominant inheritance is probable.

The comparative antimicrobial effect of calcium hydroxide.

The antimicrobial effectiveness of calcium hydroxide, camphorated paramonochlorophenol, and formocresol in root canals of extracted human teeth was compared. Canals in single-rooted teeth were enlarged and inoculated with Streptococcus mutans, Actinomyces viscosus, and Bacteroides gingivalis or Bacteroides fragilis. After treatment with a test agent and sealing and incubation for 1 hour, the canal contents were analyzed for the number of viable test bacteria and compared with that of inoculated teeth not treated with test agents. All test agents exhibited antimicrobial activity against all bacteria, with percent reductions in viable bacteria ranging from 64.3% to 100%. The combined data for Pulpdent paste and calcium hydroxide showed significantly higher antimicrobial activity than the combined data for camphorated paramonochlorophenol and formocresol for S. mutans and B. gingivalis or B. fragilis but showed no difference for A. viscosus.

Predictive dentistry: a study in carbohydrate metabolism.

The virtues of prediction in the so-called health sciences are well-known. There is still small but burgeoning interest in predictive medicine; little has been done in predictive dentistry. The evidence presented in this report suggests that carbohydrate metabolism may be utilized as a predictive instrument in dentistry. While the emphasis in this document rests on biochemical techniques, there are other avenues, physiologic ones, such as photomotogrammetry, which can also be used. It is hoped that these paradigms will catalyze interest in this fascinating subject and generate research by others along these lines.
