Periodontal health in Swedish professional musicians.

Periodontal health evaluated in terms of periodontal pocketing, tooth hypermobility and loss of teeth was studied and compared in musicians playing wind instruments and other instruments. 250 subjects aged 21-60 yr were examined. The number of teeth was high in both groups. No statistically significant differences between the groups were found with respect to pathological pockets or hypermobility. Regular playing of wind instruments did not seem to be associated with increased risk of deterioration in periodontal health.

Dental configuration among different breeds of sheep.

Three breeds of sheep, Southdown, Suffolk and Romney, and two mixed breeds, Border Leicester over Romney and Coopworth over Romney, managed identically on a research station, where they were free from culling and allowed to live their natural life, had their dental configuration examined. The sheep were divided into age groups with 10 sheep in each. The least variation was found in the relation of the upper dental pad to the lower jaw. The most statistically significant differences were found in the first age group: one year six months. The Suffolk breed was noticeably different from the others. Deepened gingival sulci, as well as the inconsistency of bleeding after probing associated with labial gingivitis highlighted the problems of using these latter criteria as indicators of health or disease among sheep on the basis of a single examination.
