With the support of a Cluster Analysis and other statistical methods we have found out the relative efficiency of some periodontal partial recording selections. Overrating or underrating evaluations arise from the registration of periodontal symptoms and signs by partial recording of special teeth or groups of teeth. The results of our investigations have demonstrated the higher quantitative and qualitative coincidence of the RAMFJORDS teeth with the periodontal status as the frontal region of the lower jaw.

[Occurrence of vascular canals in alveolar bone].

The authors present the results from the investigation of 414 full-mouth X-rays from periodontally diseased individuals for the occurrence of visible bone canals. The frequency, the form the most frequent location and the age-distribution of the vascular canals as well as the possibility of classifying them according to type and severity of the periodontal disease are discussed. Follow-up examinations in 18 patients, on an average 15 years after the first examination, permit the conclusion that the bone canals cannot be influenced by periodontal treatment, and that they are not associated with the periodontal disease.

[Possibilities and limits in the early diagnosis of peridontal insufficiency].

Up to now, the early detection and the discriminating evaluation of periodontal insufficiency are not feasible due to the variety of conditions provoking a pathological response of the tissues. In general, the defence may be regarded as sufficient. Exceptions to this rule are periodontal changes existent already in adolescence and therapy-resistant gingivitides in which endogenous causal factors obviously predominate. A disproportion of tooth mobility to bone reduction and a tendency to abscess-formation, tooth migrations and recurrences after periodontal therapy are indicative of insufficiency. The development of a progressive course is to be compared with the breakdown of the barrier of defence. The reduction or elimination of provoking and conditioning factors prior to prosthetic therapy is considered to be the way to maintain the "stability" of the periodontal tissues.

[Use of a computerized problem-oriented record in special ambulatory periodontal treatment].

Starting from the development trends of the modern out-patient treatment it is required to clearly out-line the objective functions of special out-patient care in the periodontology. Of course, the represented function call for more comprehensive data acquisition in regard of the individual patient. As a model we have worked out a computer-aided problem-oriented record for periodontal care which, in a ring hybrid study, is now being tested by 14 different public health institutions of the GDR. Our problem-oriented record comprises the following parts: a) Patient-machine communication for anamnesis b) Computer-oriented medical record c) Automated synoptic presentation of problem epicrisis d) Centralized data-pool.

[Parodontal alterations caused by a deficiency of fibrin-stabilizing factor (factor XIII deficiency) (author's transl)].

This article reports the results of clinical, symptomatological, and histological examinations of the gingiva and parodontium in two patients with a hereditary deficiency of fibrinstabilizing factor (factor XIII deficiency).--In a period of observation of up to seventeen years the periodontal condition deteriorated until the teeth finally fell out.--Because of inadequate possibilities of mechanically reducing the plaque, changes of the gingiva in the form of granulomatous gingivitis accompanied by osteolysis were observed. The histological phenomena are characterized by strong nonspecific plasmacytic inflammation.

[Diagnostic criteria of periodontal diseases].

The designation of a periodontal disease and its classification do not permit to draw conclusions as to its targeted therapy. Since the parameters needed for the diagnosis of periodontal diseases are very numerous, they should be reduced by a problem-oriented diagnosis which corresponds to the aims and objectives (treatment plan, course of the disease, assessment of the therapeutical success). The parameters to be determined should be of sufficient validity. Only such parameters should be included in a problem-oriented diagnostic chart. The parameters for indices should be selected according to this principle. The selection of the indices requires co-ordination, at which the respective objective of the examination must be considered.

[Periodontal care in the GDR].

The extent of the treatment of periodontal diseases in dental practice does not yet correspond to the rate of morbidity. To realize early detection and early treatment, the authors give suggestions for the motivation of the dentists, for a conception of the educational objectives, for the orientation of the qualification of dentists for a specialty and for the organization of health protection.
