Didactic community dentistry curricula in U.S. dental schools.

A national survey of predoctoral community dentistry faculty members provided "ratings of importance" for each of 32 community dentistry topics. Departmental chairpersons, identified by respondents, were sent a second questionnaire to determine clock hours of didactic instruction for each topic. A response rate of 79 percent (N = 121) was achieved for the faculty survey with a 91 percent response rate (N = 53) for the chairperson survey. Mean clock hours of didactic instruction in community dentistry ranged from .5 to 3.1 hours per topic with a cumulative mean total of 51.3 hours. Mean ratings of importance for each of the 32 community dentistry topics ranged from 4.3 to 2.7 (on a five-point scale). The results of this survey provide information on the current status of predoctoral community dentistry curricula in U.S. dental schools.

Gray scale echography of soluble protein and protein aggregate fluid collections (in vitro study).

Soluble protein fluid collections ranging from 0.5 to 21 gm/100 ml and collections of protein microaggregates with a particle size less than 700 microns are indistinguishable from water when these collections are examined qualitatively by gray scale echography in a laboratory setting. Echography of protein macroaggregate collections of 1-3 mm particle size gives rise to images showing strong internal echoes and poor margin definition and may simulate solid structures. Protein macroaggregates may be the source of error when complex biological fluids simulate solid lesions on gray scale echograms.
