[Complex therapy].

Complex therapy. On the occasion of the Symposium of the Society of Orthopaedic Stomatology of the German Democratic Republic at Reinhardsbrunn (Thuringia) from April 8 to 11, 1974, questions of complex therapy were dealt with in the framework of the main subject "The Effectiveness of Orthodontic Treatment in Adolescents". The present contribution was the discussion basis on the second day of the meeting.

[Studies of longitudinal section on jaw development and resulting conclusions for orthodontic treatment planning in the deciduous dentition].

From a 11 years' longitudinal study of the tooth development in 93 children conclusions are drawn as to the planning of orthodontic treatment in the deciduous dentition. In accepting the task of orthodontic treatment, the dentist assumes a very responsible function which he will only master if he knows the various patterns of dental development. The difficulties of a prognosis as to dental development in an individual child are exemplified by the evaluation of dental findings obtained at the different years of life.

[The narrowing of the support area by premature tooth loss and caries in various abnormal alignments].

On the basis of the findings from 1470 patients referred for orthodontic treatment, the authors analyse, for various types of anomalies, the sequelae of untreated proximal caries and premature extractions in the supporting areas of the upper and the lower jaw. The results obtained indicate that the premature loss of deciduous teeth causes, in case of malalignment associated with lack of space, secondary alterations.
