Abrasion in human teeth brushed with toothbrush and dentifrice was evaluated quantitatively by SEM. Specimens which included surface enamel and cementum were cut from unerupted wisdom teeth. Controlled brushing was carried out by a brushing machine, with dentifrice or saline, for periods of five and ten minutes. Scratches were counted using SE micrographs. No scratches were observed on the enamel surfaces, due probably to its hardness. The cementum surfaces revealed scratches, the number increasing with the duration of burshing. Brushing with saline was much less abrasive than with dentifrice. It was concluded that damage to the cementum is caused primarily by the dentifrice, brushing per se being a minor factor.

A simple orthodontic procedure, utilising a fixed appliance, is described. The procedure is adopted to correct a problem commonly met with in conservative dentistry. It enables a correctly contoured restoration to be placed which will prevent the development of further dental problems.

A four-unit symmetrical premolar extraction case demands meticulous levelling, overjet reduction, space closure, rotating, paralleling and torqueing to justify the gambit of having extracted the teeth at the commencement of treatment. This involves the patient in complex therapy which may, for any of several reasons, be contra-indicated for that particular patient, though a decision based on the plaster casts alone may have upheld such an approach. The purpose of this article is to discourage automatic decisions to extract first premolars in orthodontic extraction cases. The clinician is offered a classification of special cases in which an alternative should be sought, based on careful consideration of the general dental, facial, physical, psychological and economic state of the patient.
