[The vestibular system and migraine in children].

Migraine in childhood is relatively common disease. Although clinical practice and scientific publications recognize frequent association of migraine and vestibular disorders, relationships have yet to be well defined. In present study the vestibular function was extensively tested in 20 children suffering from migraine. All the patients underwent complete neurootological examination including tonal threshold audiometry, testing of vestibulo-spinal reflexes--Romberg and Unterberger-Fukuda tests, Dix-Halpike test for BPPV, videonystagmography. On videonystagmography each patient was evaluated regarding: calibration, spontaneous nystagmus, gaze nystagmus, eye tracking test, optokinetic and positional nystagmus, and caloric testing. The same procedure have been performed regarding control group comprised of 15 healthy. All the patients with migraine presented abnormalities in vestibular testing. Analysis of the results showed that: functional state of structures forming both visuo-ocular and vestibulo-ocular structures was altered in all the migraine patients evaluated in the study, pathological findings suggest mainly central localisation of vestibular dysfunction in children suffering from migraine, the number of pathological VNG findings seems not to be correlated with the type of migraine.

[Fluorine and the dentition].

In order to estimate the influence of fluorine (in drinking-water and air) on the occlusion 372 twelve-year-old children have been examined in four different localities with differing fluorine concentrations of drinking water and air. Apart from the determination of the fluorosis frequency and of the DMFt index, the number of children who do not require any orthodontic treatment according to the WHO recommendation has been determined. The degree of malocclusion has been defined by means of the Eismann-Masztalerz's method. There was observed that the optimal fluorine concentration in drinking water (0.7-0.9 mg/l) decreases the degree of malocclusion except for the crowding of the teeth whereas its concentration above the optimum (4.0-7.0 mg/l) as well as fluorine polluted air are one of the causes of crowding.

[Frequency of indications to orthodontic treatment].

The purpose of the study was determination of the per cent of children requiring orthodontic treatment. The material analysed included 422 children from Lower Silesia aged 12 years. According to WHO criteria about 1/3 of the studied children were qualified for orthodontic treatment.
