- In order to evaluate and compare the effects of biofeedback and occlusal splint therapy on mandibular dysfunction, 30 patients were randomly divided into two treatment groups. The patients were women aged 20--40 years without any obvious organic reasons for their symptoms. There were no significant differences between the two groups before the start of treatment in respect of signs and symptoms of mandibular dysfunction. One group used full coverage splints at night for 6 weeks. The other group received biofeedback training up to six times, 30 min per session. One month after completion of the therapy the patients were re-examined. Both groups showed a significant reduction in symptoms, both subjectively and clinically. No significant differences between the groups were found. The two treatments were thus equally effective in the short-term perspective in patients with signs and symptoms of mandibular dysfunction.

- Serial registrations of integrated unilateral surface masseter EMG were performed in eight healthy subjects in the rest position, during controlled gentle biting and during maximal clenching at five different sessions in order to analyse the variability. The recording conditions were standardised. The EMG activity for the group did not differ significantly between the sessions at any level but individual variations were great in the rest position both within and between days. Good consistency was found at controlled force levels. Temporally stable measurements of masseter activity which permit quantitative comparisons thus seem possible.

Psychometric measures of dental fear.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Four psychometric scales: Corah Dental Anxiety Scale (CDAS), a modified version of the Geer Fear Scale (GFS), the Health Locus of Control Scale (HLCS), and a Mood Adjective Check List (MACL), were studied with regard to their implications for dental fear. Swedish versions given to groups of fearful and non-fearful dental patients as well as non-patients showed satisfactory metric properties. Mean scores obtained were in most cases similar to those reported for original American versions, even though some indications of cultural differences were observed. The scales seem to reflect important aspects of dental fear, and they represent a valuable methodology in research on etiology and treatment of dental fear.

Qualitative and quantitative effects of treatment for dental fear and avoidance.
- 1986

Ingår i: Anesthesia progress. - 0003-3006. ; 33:1, s. 9-13
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In a Swedish community-based program for the treatment of dental phobic patients, a clinical trial was performed among 99 severely phobic individuals with long-standing avoidance of dental treatment. The modes of treatment compared were dentistry under general anesthesia and a broad-based psychophysiological therapy both followed by conventional dental treatment. Psychometric as well as overt behavioral measures were used to elucidate initial state and changes in patients' dental fear and behaviors. Quantitative and qualitative data are presented of initial and long-term (two years) treatment effects. The results indicate a significantly better effect for the psychophysiological therapy.

Usefulness of two psychometric scales in Swedish patients with severe dental fear.
- 1985
-
Ingår i: Community dentistry and oral epidemiology. - 0301-5661. ; 13:2, s. 70-4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Dental fears and other fears were assessed in 67 patients with dental fear with the Corah Dental Anxiety Scale (CDAS), the Geer Fear Scale (GFS), and a behavioral dentist's rating scale (DR). Patients were selected because of extreme initial dental fear (n = 20), favorable response to treatment for dental fear (n = 23). CDAS change paralleled behavioral change (DR), supporting the usefulness of CDAS in assessing dental fear. GFS scores did not change in either group but were higher among patients who did not respond to treatment for dental fear; these findings are discussed in terms of treatment outcome prediction and treatment specificity.

Miljöanalys med hjälp av kärnfysikalisk teknik - PIXE
- 1981

Ingår i: Ordo. - 0345-8970. ; 15:3, s. 3-8

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Under de senaste tio åren har en känslig analysmetod för grundämnen utvecklats vid institutionen för kärnfysik vid LTH. Metoden kallas PIXE (Particle Induced X-ray Emisson) och medger att mycket små förekomster (109 – 1012 g) av grundämnen kanbestämmas i små prov. Metoden är snabb. Ett par minuters analys ger en samtidig bestämning av ett stort antal grundämnen. Analysmetoden används nu i ett stort antal laboratorier runt om i världen och har funnit tillämpning inom en rad olika områden såsom medicin, biologi, yrkes- och omgivningshygien, meteorologi, geologi samt arkeologi. I Lund har metoden huvudsakligen använts för omfattande studier av föroreningar i arbetsmiljö och yttre miljö, varför vi först redogör för vårt arbete inom dessa tillämpningsområden, varefter vi beskriver de fysikaliska principerna för analysmetoden och utvecklingsarbetet med den.
