The condition of the stomatognathic system was studied in 5682 adult patients attending stomatological care services in regional outpatient clinics, health service centres, and industrial health service units in 6 provinces. Most frequently, the patients came to these services with emergency symptoms. Poor state of teeth was observed in all these service units, but the worst oral hygiene and the highest percent of parodontal diseases were found in industrial health service institutions. In this group tooth loss was most frequent. These results indicate that the stomatological health care in industrial service units despite an above average equipment of dental care rooms, better availability of dental care, and sufficient staffing is not better than in the stomatological care units available to the general population.
The results of the reported study showed considerable differences in the causes of attending dental health service offices, and differences in the health state of the stomatognathic system in the studied populations in certain provinces. Not always these differences were due to the index of dental health service availability. The index of this availability had a significant effect on the results of the therapeutic activity of dentists, and was unrelated to the results of prophylactic activities. Usually more teeth with active caries and more missing teeth were in the provinces with prevalence of peasant population. At the same time these provinces had a lower per cent of subjects with unfilled gaps in teeth. High per cent of studied subjects with missing teeth, usually not replaced or only partially reconstructed can be explained by very low attendance of patients to prosthetic laboratories.
On the basis of the results of epidemiological examinations described in four parts of the paper the qualitative and quantitative health needs of the stomatognathic system are discussed in the environment of learning and breeding (preschool, elementary school, secondary school, university), living (regional health clinic, health centre) and work (industrial plant clinic). In the assessment of the health needs in relation to quantitatively defined populations the possibilities of their realization are discussed. It is thought that the needs for therapeutic intervention are greatest in secondary school population, university students and patients in health centres and regional clinics.
The needs for periodontological treatment were assessed on the basis of the most modern needs index CPITN in 3 age groups 7, 12 and 35-44 years. The obtained results indicated that in children aged 7 and 12 years the highest need for periodontological treatment was in the first category of need (TN 1). In the group of adults the highest proportion was again in the 1 and 2 categories of need. The proportion of subjects with healthy periodontium was highest in children aged 7 years (51.89%) and lowest in the age group 35-44 years (0.66%).
The development of views on the terminology and aetiology, and a new approach to the treatment of juvenile parodontitis are described. The verification of these views has contributed to the explanation of the role of the bacterial factor (Actinomyces actinomycetecomitans) in the development of parodontal changes. This made possible outlining of an optimal therapeutic programmes.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the healing of the gingival grafts covered with Solcoseryl dental adhesive paste (Solco Basel AG) in comparison with the grafts covered with Peripac. By means of thermistor thermometer coupled with a chart recorder, three series of temperature as time recordings of grafted tissues after normalized cooling were performed--before grafting, 2 and 12 weeks after grafting. On the basis of temperature recovery curves obtained, the blood supply coefficients were computed. It was revealed that in the Solcoseryl group there was an improvement in blood supply in 75% of the cases--2 weeks, and 66%--12 weeks after grafting. In the other group, the same reaction was observed only in 50% and 30% of the cases respectively.

I have investigated twice during a span of 2.5 years, the state of periodontium in female students of secondary schools in Szczecin. The second examination has revealed a narrowing of the attached gingiva in 50.5% of the subjects, without change in the state of periodontium, as represented by the Russell's index.

For an assessment of the therapeutic effectiveness of peat poultices in parodontal diseases in 156 patients of either sex aged 24-68 years the authors used the gingival index, Suleus Fluid Rate, selective cytometric examination of salivary sediment and electrothermometric testing of the gingiva before and after this treatment. Moreover, after the treatment the patients answered an inquiry for expressing their opinion on the course and effectiveness of peat treatment. The difference test used in the calculations demonstrated statistically significant differences before and after the treatment with respect to the gingival index and Suleus Fluid Rate. Statistically significant differences were found also between the values of the leucocyte index and the keratinization index before and after peat treatment. The opinions of the patients were mostly positive.
