Oral fluoride retention with thixotropic and APF gels and foam-lined and unlined trays.

Ten child volunteers each received four topical fluoride applications using different techniques. The amounts of fluoride applied, recovered from the mouth, and retained in the mouth were calculated for each treatment. The value of patient expectoration following topical F treatment was also evaluated. The tray system with an absorptive liner significantly reduced the amount of gross oral-retained fluoride (p less than 0.01). Expectoration following topical treatment with either an APF or thixotropic gel was a significant adjunct in reducing the net oral-retained F dose (p less than 0.01). When expectoration is done following a topical F treatment, a thixotropic gel may be an added advantage in reducing oral F retention and ingestion. We recommend that suction devices be used during a topical F treatment, but most importantly that the patient be requested to expectorate thoroughly following topical treatment.

Acquired unilateral condylar hyperplasia and facial asymmetry: report of case.

A clinical report is presented of a 12-year-old female with right mandibular hyperplasia, facial asymmetry, bitemporal headaches and left temporomandibular joint pain. Past medical history was noncontributory with the exception of a bicycle accident at age eight, which resulted in minor facial trauma. The management and treatment of this case illustrates the importance of long-term follow-up by the pedodontist and the necessity of a team approach involving pedodontics, orthodontics and oral surgery.
