- Clinically the condition Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), varies considerably between individuals, where any number of molars, from one to all four permanent first molars, may be affected with different degrees of hypomineralized enamel within the same dentition. An explanation to these variations could be that the start of the enamel mineralization differs between homologues teeth. The aim of this study was to compare the dental development between homologues teeth in digital panoramic radiographs (PRs), from children aged 7 to 11 years, using the Gleiser and Hunt method on second and third molars and to calculate the crown/root ratio for the mandibular premolars. 77 PRs, from individuals between 7.3 and 11.0 years of age, were studied. Differences in developmental stages between homologues teeth (second and third molars) were studied. In 72 of these PRs, the crown/root ratio of mandibular premolars was also compared. In 31 of the PRs, a difference in development was found between the right and left maxillary second molar. In 22 PRs, a difference in development between the right and left mandibular second molar was found. In 17 of the PRs, a difference in development was found between the right and left maxillary third molars. In 26 PRs, a difference in-between the right and left mandibular third molar was found. In 72 PRs, the crown/root ratio of mandibular premolars was measured and differences were found. All these differences were significant. A possible explanation to the variations in expressivity of MIH may be a result of differences in the start of mineralization between homologues teeth.

- Swedish dentists' perceptions of patient behavior problems, levels of stress experienced by the dentists in relation to such behavior, and general problem areas in their occupational situation were investigated by means of a self-administered questionnaire mailed to a sample of 485 Swedish dentists. The questionnaire assessed 16 different patient behavior problems and an additional number of other occupationally related problem areas. A total of 342 replies (71.4%) were analyzed. The relationship between the occurrence of behavior problems and the resulting level of stress was inversely proportional. This implies that Swedish dentists feel confident in dealing with behavior problems in their patients. Furthermore, this study shows that most dentists (93%) feel positive about their work and believe that their work is highly appreciated by their patients (96%) and colleagues (84%).
