[The prosthetic care of the mandible after absolute raising of the alveolar crest by means of visor-osteotomy].

An operative method for raising the alveolar ridge of the mandible is described. In connection with vestibuloplasty and lowering of the floor of the mouth, it provides a significantly improved base for dentures without involving the risks of free bone transplantation. In prosthetic treatment the temporarily disturbed sensitivity should be borne in mind. Follow-ups repeated after short intervals are necessary. Data on long-term experience is not yet available.

[The method of preparation for VMK-crowns].

In a clinical study, follow-ups were made in 259 tangentially prepared VMK crowns. In 49,4 per cent of the cases, inflammatory changes of the marginal gingiva were found, 34.5 per cent discolorations were observed in the same region. Measurements of the marginal thickness of those 68 VMK crowns prepared in a dental laboratory showed that the average marginal thickness of baked crown margins was 1.13mm. Thus, it falls considerably short of the requirements of a satisfactory thickness of metal and ceramics, but largely exceeds the values given for a micro step. Because of these findings, it must be demanded that tangential preparation of metal ceramic replacement with the crown being placed into the gingival sulcus, be discontinued.

[Reactions of dental tissue to laser radiation].

Tests made with Nd: YAG laser showed that it is possible to seal the surface of teeth with laser radiation using energy densities of 10 J/cm2 to 50 J/cm2. In-vivo experiments with monkeys did not show any demage to the pulp when these energy densities and radiation close to that in the dental office were applied.

[Surgical methods for the correction of malocclusion Angle II/1 with postoperative prosthetic rehabilitation].

The operating methods for Angle class II, 1 are described and a method developed in which a front teeth block segment in the maxilla is raised and palatally tilted. At the same time a front and lateral teeth block segment of the lower jaw is pushed forward and lowered. The method improves the profile as well as occlusion and requires only a minimum of prosthetical care.
