Pain perception in children during caries removal with the Vector system: a pilot study.

AIM: A pilot study to compare pain perception during caries treatment in children by means of: the Vector system versus a mechanical method. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A population of 31 children, aged 7-11 years, with a positive attitude towards dental treatment was recruited. Every child had two permanent molar teeth treated, one using the Vector system (piezo-driven ultrasonic device) and the other using conventional method (dental bur). Corah, Hochman and the visual scale (Facial Expression Scale) were applied to evaluate anxiety and pain perception. RESULTS: Treatment with the Vector system required significantly longer time 31.1 versus 4.7 mins for the conventional method. With the Vector system 54.8% of children and with conventional method 29.0% felt no pain. Girls admitted to feeling more pain than boys (verbal scale p < 0.018, visual scale p < 0.072). A high statistical correlation between verbal and visual scales was confirmed (r = 0.821; p < 0.001 and a greater level of pain was found using conventional method. CONCLUSIONS: The Vector system is useful in treating caries in children, because it minimizes the negative attitudes to pain but takes significantly longer to use.

[Dynamics of the changes in bacterial flora in a deep periodontal pocket].

Microbiological flora of 9 mm deep pathological pocket was studied. Samples were taken every two weeks during 3 months' time and examined using media and techniques for culturing of anaerobic bacteria. Curves, illustrating counts of anaerobic bacteria from the dark-field microscope, slide and viable counts, were similar in shape and stayed almost parallel to one another in diagram. Sample 4 was the largest out of 6 samples taken, when bacterial population was compared. Gram positive cocci were found in 3 samples, Gram positive rods in 5 samples and Gram negative cocci in 1 sample out of 6 samples; Gram negative rods in all of the samples. Gram negative motile and non-motile anaerobic rods and facultative Gram negative rods were present in 5 samples. Total viable count of bacterial population in the pocket examined changed in time, proportions of identified bacteria and related to them bacterial species changed periodically in time.

[Temporomandibular joint dysfunction and its relations to prosthetic needs].

As part of the programme of the Ministry of Health and Social Care 180 subjects aged 35-44 years living in Cracow, Wieliczka and its environs were studied. They were divided into 6 groups of 30 subjects in each. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction was found in 44.44% of the studied material, it was slightly more frequent in women (47.77%). The frequency was greater in the subjects living in villages. A comparison of the studied groups failed to show any statistical significance of the differences. In the analysis of temporomandibular joint dysfunction in relation to occupation it was revealed that it was most frequent in qualified workers. The need for prosthetic treatment was estimated in subjects with this dysfunction and this need was recognized in 83.75% of these subjects.

[In vitro assessment of metronidazole adapted to the treatment of periodontopathies].

Chemical and biological assessment was done in vitro of a form of metronidazole for application into deep pouches in periodontal diseases. The obtained plates with metronidazole contained 1.4 mg (37%) of pure substance. Comparing the effect of metronidazole release in time against a control plate it was noted that the drug was released during 3 days in similar proportions from the chemical and biological samples.

[Periodontological therapeutic needs of children aged 7 years assessed in the province of Cracow].

The values of the CPITN index and the need for periodontological treatment were determined in 180 children aged 7 years in the Province of Cracow. The results were obtained and compared in children from the City of Cracow, Wieliczka and villages in that region. A good condition of the periodontium was found in children living in Wieliczka, that is a region under particular protection. The worst state of the periodontium was found in Cracow. In all, 50.0% of children required instruction and improvement of oral hygiene. The mean sextant value of healthy periodontium per one child was 4.39.

[Assessment of the periodontium condition and therapeutic needs by the CPITN index in children aged 12 years in the province of Cracow].

The aim of the study was assessment of the condition of the periodontium and therapeutic needs in children aged 12 years in the City of Cracow, Wieliczka and villages in the Province of Cracow. The total number of the studied children was 180 including 90 girls and 90 boys, 30 girls and 30 boys in each group. The number of sextants with healthy periodontium was 738, the mean value per one child was 4.10, it was higher in girls--4.24 and lower in boys--3.95. The per cent of children with healthy periodontium was 24.44%, the per cent of children with bleeding on probing was 30.56%, and with tartar--45.00%. The highest values of this parameter were found in Wieliczka children, and the lowest ones in village children. The needs for treatment of the periodontium in children aged 12 years were as follows: 75.56% required improvement of oral hygiene, 45.00% required removal of tartar. The lowest needs were in Wieliczka children--60.00%, and the highest in village children--86.67%.

[Calcitonin in direct and indirect pulp capping].

Calcitonin, the hormone produced by C cells of the thyroid playing a great role in calcium homeostasis, was used for direct and indirect pulp capping. This procedure was done on 200 teeth. Late follow-up after 12, 18 and 24 months or even longer was obtained in 146 cases: 110 with indirect pulp capping and 36 with direct capping. In the first follow-up examination 7 cases were regarded as failures, in late follow-up 5 failures were found, thus the total failure rate was 3.8%. The usefulness of calcitonin for biological treatment of pulp is unquestionable.

[Incidence of oral mucosa diseases in three populations in the province of Cracow].

In three population groups in the Province of Cracow: in Cracow, Wieliczka and the villages of the Province a cross-sectional examination of oral mucosa was carried out in 180 subjects aged 35-44 years, 30 subjects in each group. Males and females were considered separately. In all, pathological changes were found in 22 subjects, that is 12.22%. The total number of pathological changes was 23, since in one man two disease entities were present. The frequency of mucosal changes was greater in males than females. In males the prevailing lesion was leucoplakia, in females candidiasis. The least number of lesions was found in the population in Wieliczka.

[Estimation of distant results of the repeated endodontic treatment of teeth].

An attempt of treatment of 78 teeth with root canals filled incorrectly has been undertaken. The treatment has been correctly brought to completion in case of 67 teeth (84%). After 3 to 36 months no clinical pathological symptoms was found during follow-up examinations and total bone reconstruction was found by radiological examinations in 53.7% of cases. In the other cases pathological changes were decreasing. Root apex resorption took place in one case.
