正畸固定矫治前后牙齿冷光美白疗效的对比研究

目的:了解经固定矫治的正畸患者在牙齿美白治疗后牙齿表面中部出现较规则斑块的成因。方法:分别对正畸及非正畸治疗患者、正畸治疗前后拔除的离体牙进行牙齿美白治疗,对牙列组进行视觉对比,对离体牙组进行扫描电镜对比。结果:经正畸治疗的牙列在美白治疗后牙面有色斑存在,而正畸治疗后拔除的离体牙的扫描电镜结果则显示有釉质-树脂突嵌合层存在。结论:经正畸治疗后牙齿表层的釉质-树脂突嵌合层是导致牙面出现色斑的原因。

Longitudinal relationship between incisal tooth wear and periodontal condition

The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between the longitudinal development of incisal tooth wear and periodontal conditions in 51 persons. Stone casts obtained at the ages of 15 and 27 yr were used to assess incisal wear according to a graded scale, the Incisal wear Index (Iwl). The wear increase after 12 yr, ΔIwI, was related to the various health index scores at the age of 15 yr, including the Plaque Index (PII) and Gingival Index (GI) systems. The chi-square tests showed a statistically significant association between AIwI and periodontal condition in 15-yr-olds. Thus, relatively low P1I and GI values were accompanied by relatively high AIwI values. It was concluded that in 15-yr-olds, P1I and GI levels are clinical predictors of future wear (ΔIwI) of maxillary and mandibular central incisors. Pocket depth (PD) was a less valuable clinical predictor of such wear.     

Difficulties with tooth protectors in endotracheal intubation

The suitability of three tooth protectors for routine use during endotracheal intubation was studied in 300 consecutive patients undergoing elective operations under general anaesthesia. The main disadvantages of the protectors were lack of space and the consequent difficulty of guiding the endotracheal tube into the larynx, and poor visibility, especially when the Camo protector was used. These difficulties could be avoided in most cases by cutting off the right angle of the Camo protector. The less experienced anaesthesiologists especially had difficulties with the protectors: 20% of patients in the Camo group were considered impossible to intubate unless the protector was removed. The silicone inlay of the Camo protector melts and becomes adhesive at body temperature, which makes its prolonged use hazardous. Two patients lost a maxillary incisor despite the proper use of a protector (Denex). Thus the use of a tooth protector alone does not guarantee avoidance of dental trauma. Better results could be obtained by improving the design of the protectors and by careful pre-anaesthetic dental examination.     

先天性心脏病合并右上腔静脉缺如及永存左上腔静脉畸形的治疗

目的 探讨先天性心脏病合并右上腔静脉缺如及永存左上腔静脉畸形的治疗方法。方法 手术治疗2例，在全麻体外循环下行矫治术。1例采用左上腔静脉直接插管法，1例采用心内冠状静脉窦插管法。结果 2例均治愈，远期无心律失常发生。结论 先天性心脏病中，左上腔静脉合并右上腔静脉缺如非常少见，认识不足，是造成漏诊的主要原因。术中应根据情况酌情处理，但无论采取哪种方法，一定要注意对冠状静脉窦口的保护及左上腔静脉引流的通畅。     

Epidemiology of limb-body wall complex in Japan

Limb-body wall complex is a malformation of body and limbs with craniofacial defects. We describe here the epidemiology of this complex using the population-based registry data in the Kanagawa Birth Defects Monitoring Program during the period 1982–1991. Eleven infants (11/428,599 births) with the complex were ascertained in the study. The incidence and spectrum of the defects observed in our cases were similar to those of other studies. The parental ages in the study group were not significantly different from those in the general population. No teratogenic agents and factors were identified in the present study. Most cases were diagnosed prenatally. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.     

A 4-year controlled clinical study into the use of a ceramic hydroxylapatite implant material for the treatment of periodontal bone defects

10 patients with chronic adult periodontitis who had greater than 1 tooth with infra-bony pockets were treated at the test defects by periodontal flap procedures with implantation of hydroxylapatite particles; the control defects were treated by the same surgical procedures but without the implant. A total of 58 test defects and 59 control defects were treated. Each defect had measurements carried out at given sites on the involved tooth surfaces, the sites being considered for subsequent tabulation purposes under the category of shallow (less than 3 mm) moderate (3-6 mm) and deep (greater than 6 mm) initial pocket depths. There were 146 and 152 shallow sites, 216 and 241 moderate sites and 140 and 133 deep sites, at test and control sites, respectively. Measurements of recession, probing pocket depths and probing attachment levels were made at 6 months and 1, 2, 3 and 4 years. At all sites over the period of the study, for the moderate and deep initial pockets there was a significant reduction in probing depths and an increase in the probing attachment levels. At the 4th year of assessment for the initially deep pockets, the reduction in probing depths was significantly greater for the sites treated with the implant material. In view of the difficult clinical problem posed by the treatment of teeth with deeper periodontal bone defects, further research using either this type of implant material or similar material should be considered.     

Clinico-pathological aspects of a residual natal tooth: a case report

A Japanese girl was referred to Osaka University Dental Hospital for examination of a tooth-like structure that had erupted following spontaneous exfoliation of a natal tooth in the lower left primary central incisor region. The structure had erupted at 6 months of age, and radiographic and clinical examination showed composition of pulp and dentin, but no enamel. On histological examination, the majority of the dentin area had a tubular dentin-like appearance, while the outer area of the root appeared to be composed of an osteodentin-like substance. Most of the dentin was covered by cementum. These findings suggest that the structure had originated from a developing remnant of the extracted natal tooth, which must have remained in the gingival tissues. We termed this calcified structure a residual natal tooth.     

Bone Replacement Materials in Hand Surgery

Abstract Background: In recent years, biomaterials are being found and frequently utilized in bone defects. They have also gained significant precedence in hand surgery. Objectives: The respective requirements for such replacement material will be cited and acknowledged in this article. The individual material groups will also be referred to in this review. An introduction to some of the customary bone replacement materials will be cited and concluded with a corresponding recommendation. Conclusion: The implantation of autologous cancellous bone is still regarded today as the “gold standard”. Nevertheless, the usage of bone replacement material can be an enormous advantage in certain indications.
