[Covering of residual palatal defects by a combination of prostheses].

We carried out successful oral rehabilitation of a 17 year old female patient, who had a congenital cleft lip and palate. Having been operated on several times, she still had residual cleft on her palate. We used removable metal plate clipped to the cemented circular bridge to cover the communication. It is known that fixed prostodontics are more acceptable for patients, and cause less psychical difficulties, especially in cases of patients with congenital disorders, which have already caused psychical disturbances.

Dental management of chronic haemodialysis patients.

In 44 patients (22 females, 22 males, aged 18-61 years, mean 36 years) regular dental screening and treatment were started in January 1982. Two years follow-up revealed that the oral hygiene of these haemodialysis patients was worse than that of the average population. In 42 cases calculus formation and gingivitis, in each case atrophy of the alveolar bone and pocket formation were found. We consider these symptoms as cardinal in uraemic haemodialysis patients. As a consequence, the teeth had a pathologic mobility which was proportional to the bone resorption. Although not very typical, 10 cases were found with clicking of the temporomandibular joint associated with painfulness of the joint and the surroundings. Owing to the increased tendency to caries and the parodontal disease, the majority of patients lost most of their teeth untimely. Therefore special measures should be taken to achieve restoration. We emphasize the need for special dental care of haemodialysis patients.

Epidemiology of odontogenic periostitis.

The frequency of odontogenic periostitis (o.p.) observed during 13 consecutive years was assessed according to sex, age, and the affected pairs of teeth, in subjects admitted to an outpatient department in an area with an unsatisfactory dentist/population ratio. O.p. was less frequent in the older age groups, even after adjustment for the decreasing number of subjects with advancing age. The observed frequencies of o. p. were related in groups with a range of 10 years, both in men and women to the number of teeth present, i. e. "at risk". The last-mentioned figures were calculated for the individual pairs of teeth relying on a population model. the maximum risk of the individual tooth pairs was not found for all teeth in the same age classes but varied, partly in accordance with the caries susceptibilities, though this item was not the determining factor. O. p. is an avoidable sequel of penetrating caries, and as such is one of the consequences of the inadequate health education of the public.
