The changing role of specialist care in NHS dentistry.
Specialisation and Specialist Training in Dentistry in the UK have been central issues for debate in the last few years. The profession has emerged stronger in understanding the respective roles of the generalist who should remain free to practise across the whole spectrum of dentistry and the specialist who can work in primary and secondary care. The overriding principle is that the patient remains the true beneficiary of a specialised service within the NHS.

Western Asia--a college visit.
The first newspaper for a fortnight is always read avidly by any homeward bound traveller. So it was for the passengers on Flight KL872 on Monday, November 4 after a Conference in Pakistan and India with the Royal College of Surgeons of England. It was not long before Guardian readers had found the article 'In the ruins of the Raj' by Mark Tully.* Uncannily, it recounted the splendour and majesty of the countries we had visited and yet, at the same time, expressed our fears for the future of these delightfully hospitable and intelligent people who had been our hosts in Pakistan and India for two weeks.
Congenital malformations in aborigines and non-aborigines in Western Australia, 1980-1987.
A comparison of congenital malformations in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children in Western Australia has been made by means of data from the WA Congenital Malformations Registry, for births from 1980 to 1987 inclusive. Although the birth prevalence of all malformations was 3.5% for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal infants, significant differences were found in the birth prevalence of some individual malformations. Nervous-system and cardiovascular defects, and cleft lip and palate were significantly more prevalent in Aborigines, and pyloric stenosis and urogenital defects were significantly less prevalent. While some of the observed differences may have been a result of biases in ascertainment, others are likely to represent true differences. A discussion of Aboriginal beliefs concerning conception and birth is included, in order that the quantitative findings from the study might be considered in an appropriate cultural setting.
