A new technique for making occlusal devices.

This procedure has an application to all types of occlusal devices. It is a novel combination of hard and soft acrylic resin. The outer shell of hard resin takes the abuse of the opposing occlusion. The thin well-controlled lining of soft resin makes it easier to seat and more comfortable to wear yet is thin enough that the entire device serves as if it were made entirely of hard acrylic resin. The detailed directions for the entire procedure make it possible to fabricate these novel devices without error.

Possibility of diagnosing meningitis by gas chromatography: cryptococcal meningitis.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from eight patients with cryptococcal meningitis, from ten patients with viral meningitis, and from four control patients without meningitis were analyzed by electron-capture gas-liquid chromatography (EC-GLC). All cryptococcal specimens had similar EC-GLC profiles, and these differed from those of the controls. Viral EC-GLC patterns were different from those obtained with specimens from the patients with cryptococcal infection and from the controls. In addition, specimens from patients with various types of viral infections gave profiles that differed from each other. Two normal CSFs were inoculated with Cryptococcus neoformans; aliquots of these cultures showed an EC-GLC pattern very similar to that seen in CSF of patients with cryptococcal meningitis. The EC-GLC procedure is rapid, reproducible, and easy to perform and may hold promise as an additional aid in the diagnosis of cryptococcal infection.

Pericarditis with effusion casued by Actinomyces israelii.

Actinomyces israelii is a rare cause of pericarditis. Infection spreads to pericardium from an intrathoracic focus. Branching gram-positive filaments are seen on microscopic examination of clinical specimens. Cultures should be performed under anaerobic conditions. Both surgical drainage and antibiotics (penicillin) are required for treatment. Nocardiosis may resemble actinomycosis in many respects.

Clinical evaluation of the phase contrast microscope as a motivational aid in oral hygiene.

In a pilot study, phase contrast microscope and plane microscope demonstrations of plaque were compared in two controlled groups to evaluate their relative effect on long-term motivation toward good oral hygiene. Plaque and calculus scores were used as indexes. During a seven-month period, the group using the phase contrast microscope showed statistically significant imporvement in plaque scores compared with the group using the plane microscope. However, the difference in actual plaque amounts between groups was of a small magnitude and cannot be considered clinically significant. Both groups showed significant statistical improvement in plaque scores at seven months as compared with pretests socres. This maintained plaquereduction at seven months was of a magnitude that could be clinically significant.
