Periodontal considerations in preparation for fixed and removable prosthodontics.

This article has presented many of the newer concepts and techniques that have been developed to treat a problem that has been of major concern to the prosthodontist: the problem of favorable periodontal support and poor or deformed edentulous ridges. In the past, dentists were not aware, or did not believe, that it was possible to reconstruct ridge deformities, and they resorted to prosthetic solutions to solve the problems of tissue reconstruction, function, and aesthetics. New procedures and concepts permit us to extend the range of therapy and hope we are able to offer our patients. It is probably true that prosthodontists are more sensitive to the emotional concerns and needs of patients that have sustained ridge-jaw deformities. These patients bear deep emotional scars. They feel cast apart from "normal" society. Successful treatment for these patients not only restores their deformed ridge and dentition, it helps to erase the mental scars and emotional trauma these patients have had to accept. These procedures enable us to restore their sense of self-confidence and dignity.

A comparison of estimated versus actual brushing time.

Patients at a dental clinic were asked to participate in a toothpaste study. Their brushing times were covertly recorded and they completed a questionnaire about brushing habits. When the actual brushing times for the 154 subjects were compared to their estimated brushing time a highly significant difference was found. Approximately 90% of the subjects stated that they had brushed the same amount as their estimate. Neither actual or estimated brushing time related to age, brushings per day, or regularity of dental care. There was a modest relationship between a subject's age and his regularity of dental care. Younger people were more regular. The only factor related to increased brushing time in this study was the overall rating of the toothpaste. Future research should look at the brushing times of people exposed to oral hygiene programs versus those with no knowledge of the process.

The marketing of instructional materials to health practitioners.

With the increasing costs of education, for both practitioners and academic health centers, the time for a different format for continuing education has arrived. An educational resource department is the logical center to the development and management of a project as described in this paper. The educational resource department, the academic health center, and the practitioners can all benefit from turning attention outside academic walls.

A quantitative measurement of bacteremia and its relationship to plaque control.

Despite the improvement in the patients' oral hygiene, there was no significant decrease in the frequency of bacteremia. There was no significant difference in bacteremia between brushing, flossing, or deplaquing either before or after initial periodontal preparation and plaque control in 21 healthy subjects. Utilizing more sophisticated bacteriologic techniques for the cultivation of obligate anaerobes, a relatively high frequency of anaerobic bacteremia was found.
