[Odontometric studies of maxillary teeth as a means for population differentiation].

4,497 maxillary teeth from 711 skulls were examined and measured. The diameters of the single teeth as well as the sums, quotients, and indices were subjected to statistical treatment using univariate procedures. Clear-cut differences among anthropologically different populations (Europoids, Negroids, Mongoloids, Melanesoids) were evidenced by the tooth dimensions. The indices are suited for revealing specific relationships among tooth groups.

[Craniometric studies of the upper jaw as aid in population differentiation].

10 selected midfacial dimensions were measured on each of 711 skulls from 4 anthropologically different populations and tested for their usefulness for the characterization of populations. The palate height cannot be recommended as a distinctive feature because of its considerable variability within the single groups. According to the problems under study, sagittal, and transversal midfacial dimensions are suited for classification into groups.

[Dental caries and pregnancy].

In a Berlin population comprising 588 women aged between 18 to 50 years, no increase of the DMF index was observed in multiparae. Nevertheless, complete dental treatment was stated in them less often.

[Concerning the reversibility of initial carious lesions in the fissure region (author's transl)].

Using a light microscope, the authors compared longitudinal ground sections of human premolars from a region where the drinking water contains 1,0 p.p.m. of fluorine with the preparations from a region where the drinking water contains 0.35 p.p.m. of fluorine. Under the microscope, "healty" teeth may also show initial carious lesions in the fissure region. These changes are significantly less frequent in premolars which developed under the influence of fluorine. This finding and an age-depending decrease of the initial carious lesions in the fissures militate in favour of the reversibility of these changes.

[Review of the literature on the use of substance P in dental practice].

The authors reviewed the relevant literature to find out whether vexed questions of stomatological research or dental practice (such as conduction in the dentine, prevention of pain produced by cavity preparation, conservative treatment of pulpitis) could be settled by means of the substance P. It seems that this is not the case at present.

[The reproducibility of oral exfoliative-cytological findings].

In periodontology, exfoliative-cytological examinations are used to support the diagnosis, to assess the effectiveness of periodontal-therapeutical procedures and in basic research. It was tried to demonstrate the reproducibility of exfoliative-cytological findings by repeated counting of 114 gingival smears by two examiners (blind trial). The numerical values obtained for the different kinds of cells were in good agreement, which was confirmed with the aid of mathematical statistics.

[The contents of caries-free fissures of human premolars and molars].

The contents of the fissures of occlusally caries-free human premolars and molars were examined for colour, consistency and removability, and under the microscope. The results obtained were brought in relation to the forms of the fissures. Superficial fissure contents contain micro-organisms, are similar to materia alba and may be considered as acquired. Contents from the depth of narrow fissures contain epithelial cell-like structures but no or very few bacteria and seem to be remnants from the time when the teeth were being formed.

[Periodontal care in the GDR].

The extent of the treatment of periodontal diseases in dental practice does not yet correspond to the rate of morbidity. To realize early detection and early treatment, the authors give suggestions for the motivation of the dentists, for a conception of the educational objectives, for the orientation of the qualification of dentists for a specialty and for the organization of health protection.

[Biodevelopmental and biostatistical aspects of the concept of normal values in the 1st and 2d dentition].

In conformity with the practice in other biological sciences, it is suggested to adopt in dentition chronology the double of the range around the mean as the range of normal. The great variance especially in the second dentition agrees with the variance of other developmental characteristics and must be considered to be typical of human development. The integration of dentition with the complex of the characteristics of physical and psychical development is advocated.

[The dental care for students].

The progression of stomatological morbidity and the extent of the stomatological care of students were re-examined after two years, in a random sample of students previously studied. One third of the students who had been asked by post to come was re-examined; one third of them was not contacted because they had changed their residences and could not be reached by post; and one third did not respond. The high morbidity as well as the present situation of treatment requires an improvement in the stomatological care of the students by the territorial public health services of the town where they go to the university.
