The perimeatal exposure of the condyle.

The perimeatal approach to the condyle provides access to the area of the glenoid fossa by the combination of preauricular and postauricular incisions. Damage to the frontal branch of the facial nerve does not occur because the anterior tissues are not retracted excessively. The cartilaginous meatus is not transected during the operation, which avoids the problem of stenosis of infection of the cartilage.

The value of a simple medical questionnaire in dentistry.

A short specific medical questionnaire was given to 1125 new patients attending for their initial examination at the Perth Dental Hospital. A positive history was given by 398 patients. A wide variety of conditions was revealed and the dental significance is discussed. The extent of the information provided illustrates that the simple questionnaire is valuable in exposing conditions which may affect dental treatment.

Teeth and infective endocarditis.

Despite a lack of certain knowledge regarding the role of the teeth in the aetiology of endocarditis, antibiotic prophylaxis should be given before gingival blood vessels are opened in cases of rheumatic heart disease. Much higher doses are required in patients with prosthetic heart valves. Full clearance of the teeth should be considered when a patient has already had an attack of endocarditis or where a prosthetic heart valve has been placed. Strict oral health is required in patients at risk.
