CHEWING GUM |
| Abstract: |
Dental caries, because of its spread worldwide, represents a public health problem. It is therefore, not surprising to find a great number of materials and procedures whose goal is the prevention of its formation. One such procedure is use of chewing gums which stimulate the secretion of saliva, thus preventing the formation of dental bacterial plaque on the surface of the teeth as well as a removal of existing plaque. The study included 16 students (12 female and 4 male) of the 3rd, 4th and 5th year of the Dental School of the Zagreb Universitiy. The goal was to measure the quantity of secretion of unstimulated saliva as opposed to that of stimulated saliva for each student, using the wax sticks borrowed from the Caries risk test set (Schaan, Vivadent) and two kinds of Orbit chewing gum (Wrigley: Winterfresh and Wild Strawberry). The examinees first chewed the wax and the chewing gum for one minute and then swallowed all the secreted saliva. Afterwards they chewed for another three minutes, this time collecting the secreted saliva into a calibrated measuring cup. The achived results are expressed as the medium value and standard deviation, the difference between them being noted with Student t-test. KEP index (DMF/t) for each examinee was also calculated. The achived results showed a significant difference in the saliva secretion during the use of chewing gum and the use of wax. There was also a difference in the secretion of saliva regarding the flavour of the chewing gum. The volume of saliva was more when Wild Strawberry was used. The results of the study justify the use of chewing gums, especially if we take into consideration that many of them contain an artificial sweetner, such as xylithol, with a strong anticaries effect. |

| Abstract: |
Aesthetic inadequacy due to hypodoncy of the upper left first premolar of a 20 yearold patient was detected by clinical and radiological examination. After a certain period of time space reduction had occurred because of shifting of a permanent upper canine tooth in the distal direction to the place of the second upper premolar, and the gap created corresponded to the width of the upper canine tooth. By a minimal traumatic therapy procedure we substituted the canine tooth by using fibres, adhesive procedure and composite materials. |

PERIAPICAL DISEASES + pathology |
| Abstract: |
Chronic periapical lesion is a result of the mutual activity of microbiota in the root canal and multilateral response of the host to infection. Nonspecific, acute and chronic inflammations, including humoral and cellular immunological responses, participate in the occurrence, development and perpetuation of these lesions. Biopsy samples of periapical tissue were taken by surgical procedure in 34 patients, with the object of verifying immunoglobulin classes G, A and M. The study involved determination of total proteins by Lowry’s method. Concentrations of IgG, IgA and IgM were determined by the method of radial immunodiffusion. Their correct amount was obtained by placing them in relation to the verified amount of total proteins. The study revealed different percentages of the share of immunoglobulins, classes G, A and M, and diversity in their values. IgG was found in 100% of cases, IgA in 76% and IgM in 44%. Mean value of the quantity of IgG amounted to 385.2 mg/g protein, ranging in value from 27.3 to 826.0 mg/g protein, IgA 51.0 mg/g protein, ranging from 0 to 336.8 mg/g protein, and IgM 20.3 mg/g, ranging from 0 to156.2 mg/g protein.The results obtained on the basis of this study indicate the local synthesis of immunoglobulins in chronic periapical lesions, and the involvement of nonspecific inflammatory and specific immunological reactions, which together are responsible for the pathogenesis of these lesions. |

| Abstract: |
The aim of this study was to stress the importance of periodical removal of hard and soft sediments as well as of dental surface polishing. A clinical examination was performed among 18 fifth year students of the School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb. The use of Caries Risk Test (Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) showed the amount of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus in the saliva. Based an the results obtained, we polished the teeth with Proxyt pastes for cleaning and polishing, each being of different abrasive value, determined by the producer and labelled as RDA (Relative Dentin Abrasion). After polishing the test was repeated. The results achieved were compared to data previously obtained and showed that dental surface polishing and removal of hard dental sediments have been neglected. |

| Abstract: |
Saliva is an important factor upon which general health of the oral cavity is dependent and which influences the occurrence of caries. In diabetic patients, xerostomia may occur due to pronounced polyuria in non-regulated and inadequately regulated cases. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of stimulated saliva and salivary pH in diabetic patients and in normal subjects, and to study the possible difference in the occurrence of caries. Results pointed to a significant decrease in the amount of stimulated saliva in insulin dependent diabetics (1.22 ml/min vs. 1.43 ml/min in normal subjects; p less than 0.01). The lowest amount of stimulated saliva was found in non-regulated diabetics (1.00 ml/min). In all diabetic patients, a significantly lower salivary pH was recorded as compared to normal subjects (p less than 0.01). The DMFS index was significantly higher in both insulin dependent and non-insulin dependent diabetics as compared to normal subjects (p less than 0.01). Concerning the state of diabetes control, significant differences at the level of p less than 0.01 in the DMFS index were observed among all groups of subjects (normal subjects, and regulated, inadequately regulated and non-regulated diabetics). A decreased salivary flow and pH may represent one from a series of caries risk factors in diabetics, especially in inadequately regulated and non-regulated cases of the disease. |

| Abstract: |
The presence of immunoglobulins G, A and M was studied in human dental pulps using a quantitative method of radial immunodiffusion. Valid data on the amounts of IgG, IgA and IgM were obtained on the basis of measured concentrations of immunoglobulins in each pulp sample and their correlation with total protein concentrations. The results indicated IgG to be present in 100%, IgA in 15% and IgM in 8% of 13 pulp samples affected by chronic inflammation. The mean values of IgG, IgA and IgM thus determined were 84.3, 4.4 and 1.4 mg/g protein, respectively. In intact pulp tissue, however, no presence of immunoglobulins G, A and M could be detected using the same method as above. The results obtained suggested the possibility of local synthesis of immunoglobulins in chronically inflamed pulp tissue, indicated that nonspecific inflammatory reaction may have occurred concurrently with some specific immunologic reactions. The predominance of IgG pointed to immunologic reactions of early types II and III hypersensitivity. |

| Abstract: |
Great caution is required when choosing materials coming into direct contact with pulpal tissue. The aim of this study was to assess the connective tissue tolerance to Cap-cap and Cinacal, clinically used for pulp capping, in experimental animals. On the basis of tissue reactions around implanted material specimens at intervals of 2, 14 and 28 days after application, the two materials were found to belong to a group of biocompatible materials. Marked infiltration with inflammatory cells around Cap-cap specimens during the first few days after injection pointed to irritative feature of the material as compared to Cinacal, possibly attributable to eugenol, a Cap-cap constitutive component. |
