| Abstract: |
The frequency of basal cranial and facial forms, and of craniofacial indices, was analyzed to obtain some additional information on the craniofacial growth during a dynamic interval of the conversion of primary into mixed dentition. A sample of 72 children aged 3.5-5.5 years, free of any symptoms of orthodontic anomalies, were re-evaluated at the age of 6.5-8.5 years. The children were divided into groups according to anomalies possibly present on the second examination. Analysis of the subject distribution into cranial and facial forms revealed slight alterations during the period of observation. Therefore, analysis of the magnitude and frequency of index alterations was also included in the study. These analyses led to a conclusion that changes in the craniofacial form were quite frequently present but their intensity was too low for a subject to be allocated to the other basal group. A relationship between the craniofacial form alteration and maxillary morphology specific for particular anomaly could also be discerned. Thus, alterations in each individual dimension included in the indices, occurring during the mentioned interval, should be analyzed to shed more light upon the problem. |

ANODONTIA + genetics |
| Abstract: |
The intensity of expressivity and penetrance of anomalies through generations can be established by means of genealogical analysis. In the present study thirty five family pedigrees, including three generation family members, have been analysed. Variable expressivity of hypodontia has been established in 48.57% families. Pedigrees of 21 families showed the autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Three families expressed hypodontia only in one (third) generation. In 12 families hypodontia has been established only in the proband what was compatible with the polygenic inheritance. In 12 (34.28%) families hypodontia showed penetrance through two generations, and in 9 (25.71%) families penetrance has been observed through three generations. |

PERIODONTAL DISEASES + prevention & control
DENTITION, MIXED |
| Abstract: |
The paper is presenting analyzes of the condition of marginal periodontium in children age 7 to 14 from Novi Sad (F level 0.2 ppm) and Sombor (F level 1.2 ppm). The gingival health was determined by methodology WHO-TRS 621 for every tooth which had reached occlusal plane. As statistical unit side, tooth and person (with 80-100% of healthy sides) were used. With a side as a unit the health condition was higher in Sombor for every age. In the 8, 10 and 12 year health condition was lower for both locality. Correlation coefficient for both distribution was r = 0.94. In the case of tooth as a unit no difference was found in 8 year of age. Correlation coefficient was lower (r = 0.74). Concerning person there were no difference in the ages of 8, 10 and 12. The results pointed to the necessity to use person as experimental unit together as side. Observed difference between two localities is not enough to exclude other primary preventive measures for periodontal diseases. The higher incidence of the inflamed gingival units in ages of 8, 10 and 12 deserves more detailed investigation of possible causes. |

STOMATOGNATHIC SYSTEM + pathology |
| Abstract: |
Positions of the central relation and central occlusion were intraorally graphically recorded in 100 patients with a stomatognathic system dysfunction and in 0 control subjects. Results of the study showed asymmetry of these two positions to play a major role in the etiology of dysfunction. Occlusal program had an almost two-fold impact on the graphic tracing of the central occlusion position, as compared to the influence exerted by the articulation and muscle on the central relation tracing. Instrumental functional analysis and the instrument used alike, are simple to use and allow an objective assessment of the state to be made. |

DENTAL PROSTHESIS RETENTION |
| Abstract: |
Modern understanding of the retention mechanism of partial denture assumes that the path of insertion and the path of displacement of denture form a definite angle. The denture is possible to insert in a given direction only after forming guide planes which, in the same time, possible take part in retention of denture. The aim of this work was to test the hypothesis that the preparation of guide planes and bending of models in the surveyor brings, the rigid parts of framework to increase the ability of denture to be kept on supporting tissue. The research was performed on the frameworks of denture which were of same design and models with and without preparation guide planes. Total of 60 framework removings from the vertical direction were made under the different conditions of the measurement, using universal electronic machines. |

ROOT CARIES |
| Abstract: |
Review of the current knowledge related to the etiology, clinical picture, treatment, and prevention of root surface caries (RSC) is presented. The prevalence of RSC rates vary from 20 to 40 percentage depending on the age of the population studied and the definition of RSC applied. Prevention of RSC requires oral hygiene instructions and dietary advices as well as drinking of optimally fluoridated water combined with the appropriate use of topical fluoride agents. Glass ionomer cements are considered the best and the most successfully used filling material for root surface cavities. Epidemiologic data indicate that RSC increases with age and becomes a major health problem in dentistry. Since our present knowledge about root caries is insufficient, more research is needed in every aspect of the disease. |

DENTAL PULP CANAL

| Abstract: |
Pulpal circulation is microcirculation, whose primary function is to transport the nutritive and return the waste metabolic products. As pulp is surrounded by a solid dentin sheath, proper regulation of its circulation, and of intra- and extracellular fluid levels is of utmost importance for the normal function of the pulp in physiologic conditions as well as for its survival in pathologic states. The alpha adrenergic system with all its components plays a key role in this regulation. |
