- Trauma to the supporting tissues of the teeth are among the most common dental injuries, leading to such complications as pulp canal obliteration, necrosis and root resorption. The aim of this investigation was to study the outcome for young permanent teeth subjected to luxation injuries. From 108 dental records 171 teeth with injuries to the supporting tissue were selected. The material comprised 130 subluxated, 15 extruded, 9 intruded, 15 exarticulated and 6 laterally luxated teeth in children aged 6-19 years. Apart from luxation, 59 teeth (35%) had additional crown and root fractures. 65% of the teeth recovered without complications. 78% of the subluxated teeth and 24% of the luxated teeth showed uneventful posttraumatic healing. Concomitant uncomplicated crown fractures or root fractures without displacement of the coronal fragment did not interfere with the healing. Of 60 teeth with healing complications, 52 (87%) were subsequently recorded as healed, the remaining 8 were extracted or had progressive root resorption. Loss of pulp vitality and external root resorptions were the most often recorded complications (28% and 17% of the total material respectively). Pulp canal obliteration was noted in 3% of the cases. Extent of injury and degree of tooth maturity were found to be related to healing complications.

- The aim of this study was to determine the susceptibility of newly erupted and old permanent teeth to artificial, caries-like attacks. Two groups of caries-free teeth were used. Group 1 consisted of 38 teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons (9-12-yr-old children); group 2, of 40 teeth extracted for periodontal reasons (45-65-yr-old patients). After thorough cleaning, a test window was isolated on the incisal two-thirds of the buccal surface. After demineralization with 6% HEC gel at pH 4.9 for 8 days, longitudinal ground sections were prepared for imbibition studies in polarized light and for secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). In the young teeth, the lesions appeared to be uniform in their extension in the enamel, whereas the old teeth showed less marked and thinner surface zones and greater depth of the positively birefringent body of the lesion. Polarized light microscopy and SIMS data support the hypothesis that there are different enamel pathways in the initiation of the natural carious process.

- 4505 Swedish children aged 4-11 yr were surveyed regarding dental behavior management problems (BMP) and dental health. Dental charts were retrieved from clinics in the Public Dental Service in Göteborg, and data were then compiled regarding BMP, action against BMP, caries, fillings, use of local anesthetics, and number of missed appointments. Behavior management problems were found in 10.5% of the children, and were more common in the younger children, among children who missed appointments, and in children who received restorative treatment without local anesthetics. The BMP children had more carious and fewer filled surfaces. In 43.4% of the cases with BMP the strategy chosen was postponement of dental treatment or no measure taken.
