Blood and urine fluoride concentrations associated with topical fluoride applications on dog gingiva.

The circulatory uptake and urinary excretion of topical fluoride were investigated by applying a sodium fluoride solution containing 18F for six min to healthy gingiva of four adult dogs. Blood and urine samples were taken a regular intervals. Maximal fluoride in blood represented 0.02-0.05% of the applied dose and occurred four min after completion of the application. By 6.0 h, 0.02-0.06% of the applied dose had been excreted in urine. Preliminary data showed that this represented about 8.8% of the fluoride absorbed through the gingiva.

Two years of a program in hearing-aid-related services.

A program of hearing-aid-related services is described in which a dispenser of hearing aids visits an audiology facility on a regular basis as a supplier. Surveys to assess the program were conducted during a two-year period. Of the 128 patients who participated in the study, 89% continued wearing their hearing aids during the first year and 86% during the second year. The adjustment period of about 30 days with an accompanying orientation program was crucial. Ear mold considerations and use of the hearing aid during noisy situations constituted two major problem areas. Five aids were returned to the factory during the adjustment period, six during the first year, and 15 during the second year. Group work in hearing aid evaluation and orientation was a positive factor.
