[Visitation of medical schools in 1997].

The visitation committee medicine and health studies in 1997 visited all eight Dutch medical schools. A quality judgement was formed based on the results of a self-analysis of these schools and extensive research on the spot. The conclusion was that all schools inspected turn out physicians who can be trusted to do their work well. However, the committee judges the curricula of some of the schools to be very traditional: too much oriented towards the basic sciences with hardly any room for contributions of the students themselves.

[Female hormones and oral health].

A common oral manifestation of elevated levels of the ovarian hormones estrogen and progesterone, as seen in pregnancy or oral contraceptive usage, is an increase in gingival inflammation. Estrogen and progesterone probably induce a physiologic vascular phenomenon with swelling and redness. Furthermore, these hormones alter the microenvironment of the oral bacteria so as to promote their growth and cause shifts in their populations. The resulting gingivitis can be avoided or at least minimized by establishing low plaque levels at the beginning of pregnancy or at the start of oral contraceptive therapy.
