The authors give an account of the results of an epidemilogical investigation of the cariosity in adolescents of the East Slovakia region. They assessed the prevalence of caries and the intensity of cariosity by means of the DMF index. They investigated also the cariosity of individual teeth and the cariosity in individual subjects. The incidence of dental caries is 98.7% and the intensity according to the DMF index is on average 8.9.

The aerosol formed during work with turbine tools has an undesirable impact on the environment of dental surgeries. It may cause atmospheric transmission of infection. Recent qualitative and quantitative evaluation of aerosols assumes theoretical knowledge of physical and chemical properties and transformation of the aerosol system. These findings which influenced the selection of methods of the author's more recent measurements are the subject of the submitted paper.

The author present a brief account of analyses of the soft tissue profile and their development. The review comprises in particular work which influenced the further development of profile analyses and contributed to the development of methods used at present.

The authors examined 126 medical students of the Stomatological branch, Palacký University, Olomouc--Czech and Slovaks--and 32 foreign students from developing countries. The examination under standard conditions assessed the state of the periodontium and the need of periodontological treatment. Despite the fact that in dental students we must foresee a professional attitude and knowledge of the problem, the need of periodontological cases is increasing with the extent of professional training. 10% of the 5th year dental students require a surgical operation of the periodontium. The final conclusions will be made after evaluation of the whole longitudinal study.

The author describes a practical method of reconstruction of the position of the incisors and its influence on aesthetic aspects of the lips in patients treated on account of serious orthodontic defects. Before treatment is started it is necessary to analyze the condition of the dentition and the patient's profile. When selection the therapeutic plan, we have to determine the future position of the incisors and predict the influence of the new position of the incisors on the patient's profile. The author describes the procedure during reconstruction of the position of the incisors and the mutual position of the lips. Without prediction of changes of the profile it is not possible to predict whether orthodontic treatment will not cause deterioration of the patient's profile.

At the first aid medical service of the stomatological department of a type II hospital with policlinic in the course of the calendar year a total of 1,761 children from 2-15 years were treated. During this period the staff treater 1,718 teeth and 43 times they treater soft tissues of the oral cavity. Most frequently periodontitis of the decidual teeth was treated, resorption of the root of a decidual tooth, pulpitis and caries. As to therapy, extractions were most frequent, followed by trepanation of the pulp cavity and treatment of the tooth by a provisional filling. The author draws attention to unsuitable therapeutic procedures such as trepanation of the pulp cavity in case of periodonititis of a decidual tooth and application of cobalt in pulpitis of a decidual tooth after the age of seven years. She emphasizes also the necessity to use local anaesthesia in extraction of decidual teeth.

The authors draws attention to the possible use of acupuncture in stomatology used in the course of 13 years in diseases of polyaetiological nature or where the aetiology is not well known. They demonstrate the success of this therapeutic method in diseases such as glossodynia, stomatodynia, primary neuralgia of the trigreminal nerve, contractures of the jaws, myofacial dysfunctional syndrome and disorders of salivary secretion in 178 patients treated at the out-patient department of the Second Stomatological Clinic in Bratislava.

The authors draw attention to some peculiarities of treatment of class V cavities by aesthetic fillings. Combined filling made from silicocarboxyl cement and composite filling material prove useful. In teeth with preserved pulp sandwich fillings are used which contain three layers (base, intermediate retention layer of silicocarboxyl cement and composite material). In pulpless teeth, the base is not needed and the term combined filling (two layers) is more appropriate.

For perfect dental treatment it is essential in the majority of cases to ensure a readily surveyed and perfectly dry working field. This is met best by the use of the rubber membrane--koferdam. In the submitted work the authors inform the stomatological public on basic terms and principles of work with koferdam which is considered irreplaceable under certain conditions.

The paper deals with the antimicrobial activity of repin bandages used commonly in periodontology. The main criterium for evaluation was the number of bacteria in the wound beneath the bandage, ass ossessed by cultivation. The authors compared three types of bandages (Repin with Traumacel, Repin with Framykoin and Repin alone). Repin with Framykoin reduced most effectively the number of micro-organisms for the longest period of time. The results revealed that the amount of bacteriabacteria beneath the bandage is proportional to the period of time for which the bandage is left in the oral cavity. The optimal period is five days.
