Psychological considerations in maxillofacial prosthetics.

An attempt has been made to integrate information from psychological principles and clinical research which is relevant to maxillofacial prosthetics. Attention was given to the role of body parts in the human experience, with particular consideration of facial aspects. The importance of the maxillofacial region in early development, personality dynamics, and day-to-day interpersonal relationships was reviewed together with several specific problems which often accompany maxillofacial changes in structure or function. The dentist must be concerned with the patient's expectations, personality characteristics, and ability to accept and integrate the prosthesis. Several implications for clinical practice were presented. The dentist's understanding and utilization of psychological considerations should result in increased effectiveness in treatment and rehabilitation of maxillofacial patients.

Gynaecological abnormalities found at a cytology clinic.

A survey was made of abnormalities found on pelvic examination of 2,656 women who attended for cervical smears in the three years 1967-9. Eight women had malignant cells in their smears, and 68 women pelvic tumours, four of them malignant. Severe vulvitis was common in women over 46. Many of the women who had non-malignant conditions were treated though they had no complaints. They were among the most appreciative and subsequently sought out the clinic staff to thank them. It is important that a full examination should be made by an experienced gynaecologist.
