A clinical and histometric study of gingivitis associated with the human deciduous dentition.

This study examined the relationship between clinical indices and the histologic parameters associated with the gingiva of the human deciduous dentition. The plaque index, gingival swelling and color, probing depth, bleeding on probing, contact with adjacent teeth and the degree of root resorption of 58 deciduous teeth were recorded. The teeth were extracted with their surrounding gingiva and prepared for histologic examination. The area of epithelium and connective tissue with and without inflammatory cells was measured as well as the epithelial length from the gingival margin including the junctional epithelium. When these measurements were grouped according to the values of the clinical indices, nonmobile teeth were found to have less epithelium than those with mobility and gingiva with a healthy color had a significantly smaller inflammatory cell infiltrate than red gingiva. Bleeding and increased probing depth were not associated with the other clinical signs of inflammation. The amount of plaque did not correlate with the measures of clinical inflammation. The inflammatory cell infiltrate was present irrespective of whether the gingiva was clinically normal or not and the inflammation did not correlate with the amount of plaque.

Evaluation of quandrant dentistry in provision of dental care.

The chairtime required for a single Class I or Class II amalgam restoration at 163 sittings was compared with the chairtime required for 99 cases in which two restorations in a quandrant were treated at the same sitting. The "Quadrant Dentistry Efficiency Rate" was calculated and it was found that quadrant dentistry resulted in a saving of between 30% and 50% of chairtime. The individual speed of the three dentists treating the children did not greatly influence the percentage of chairtime saved.

Chairtime needed for an incremental dental care program for schoolchildren in Israel.

Chairtime needed to provide initial treatment to 80 children, 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 years of age, in an incremental care program was recorded. An average of 8.2 carious teeth with 14.0 carous surfaces required treatment. The clinical and radiographic examinations were concluded earlier and were not included in the chairtime recorded. One year after completion of the initial treatment, 51 of these children were reexamined to determine the maintenance treatment needs. These were found to be approximately one-third of the initial treatment needs. The average chairtime required for initial treatment was 2 hours and 37 min. It was estimated that for complete treatment, including examination and preventive measures, 3 hours per child would be required for initial treatment and 1 hour for maintenance care each following year.
