| Abstract: | Cases of treatment because of acutely occurring states of pain were analysed in a big-city dental outpatients department. The one-year examination covered about 4,000 cases of the total number of 40,000 consultations. As for the diagnoses considered in the examination, it concerned primarily dental caries, acute apical periodontitis and pulpitis. It was to find out if here is a relation between "toothache" and airhygienic influences. This was done with reference to an examination using the same method which was performed as early as in 1982/83. Apparently, there is no immediate correlation. |
