A descriptive study of early caries and oral health habits of Inuit pre-schoolers: preliminary results.

Despite reports describing the high incidence of baby bottle tooth decay (BBTD) in North American native populations, very little is known about the factors influencing dental health at such an early age. Furthermore, true prevalence figures are usually difficult to obtain because few studies have attempted to survey the whole population. The purpose of this project is to determine the true prevalence of nursing caries in the Kativik region and describe oral health determinants in relation to the dental status of these children. At this time, 244 children aged two to five years have been surveyed. The results indicate that baby bottle tooth decay occur in 72.2% of this young population.

Primary angle-closure glaucoma and mononuclear blindness. Clinical pattern in 2 Inuit women from Greenland.

Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) occurs in various clinical forms and is a permanent challenge for medical personnel responsible for eye care in elderly persons, for medical officers in the Arctic in particular. A clinical report is given of two cases: one with a destructive attack of classical acute glaucoma in a 46 year old woman versus another with a totally symptomless, gradual monocular blindness in a woman, aged 56. In both patients the fellow eye showed incipient chamber angle synechia formation. Peripheral iridectomy has given fully normal fellow eye function in the first woman, now for 22 years. The other had a recent YAG laser iridotomy in her fellow eye. The patients are described on the background of PACG population studies performed in Greenland since the 1960'ies, including gonioscopy and extensive anterior chamber depth measurements as attempts of early PACG detection.
