[Mathematical investigations of the functional tooth axis].

The functional tooth axis is--contrary of the anatomical tooth axis--defined as follows: The effect of force in its direction causes a maximum of desmodontal fibres being stressed on drawing. After measure of an upper caninus, an upper and a lower molar mathematical models of the teeth and the desmodont of force are calculated with a computer simulation. A variety of functional tooth axes which are not identical with the anatomical ones, result for each tooth. The possible functional axes yield a variety which signifies the biological tolerance. This tolerance causes that many individual forms of occlusion don't have any pathological effect on the desmodont.

[Format and image contents of x-ray picture (author's transl)].

This article is essentially on the lines of the paper read at the German Congress of Radiologists ("Deutscher Röntgenkongress") at Münster. It deals with the visual interpretation of the contents of roentgenographic films of widely different origin. On going deeper into the subject, it was found that by examining the pictures for structural contents as far as the image permits, it becomes possible to obtain a survey of all the usually prepared x-ray photographs--a viewpoint which has so far been greatly neglected. Knowledge of the conditions of observation and of the prerequisites is promoted at the same time. The need for radiation protection is re-emphasized from a new angle.
