Trace amounts of metals are indispensable for normal function of the organism, excessive amounts have however a toxic effect on the organism or can lead in susceptible subjects to allergization. Increased exposure to metals is caused also by environmental contamination. The objective of the trial was to find out to what extent metals can influence the immune reaction of exposed subjects as compared with subjects without occupational contact with metals. To this end the authors recorded the case-history and subjected to dental examination and by the modified test of blastic transformation for metals - method Melisa™ - eight dentist, seven dental...
New Therapeutic Methods in Orofacial Bone Defects
A. Fassmann, N. Dvořáková
Čes. stomatol. Prakt. zub. lék. (Czech Dental Journal) 1999; 99(3): 88-93
This article reviews the method of Guided Bone Regeneration. This method was derived from the biological principle of Guided Tissue Regeneration. There is new therapeutic concept for the regeneration of bone defects caused by restriction of the root apex, osteotomy or cystectomy. Other suitable indications occur in periodontology, oral implantology, and incase of alveolar crest astrophy - augmentation. The most suitable biomaterials used in this process are reabsorbable collagen Bio-Gide membranes and natural bone mineral Bio-Oss. This combination of materials has been used by the authors to stimulate the repair of bone defects for several years, and...
Preparation of Soft Tissues by a ND:YAP Laser (Experimental)
M. Starosta, H. Černá, F. ©pruček, V. Lichnovský
Čes. stomatol. Prakt. zub. lék. (Czech Dental Journal) 1999; 99(3): 94-100
The submitted paper deals with the effectiveness of a ND:YAP laser used in the preparation of soft tissues in the oral cavity of Wistar rats. For preparation a wavelength of 1079 nm and power 1.5 W was recommended which is sufficient for minor surgery.
Contribution of Fluoridated Quinolones in Stomatology. Preliminary Communication
V. ©čigel, M. Bártová
Čes. stomatol. Prakt. zub. lék. (Czech Dental Journal) 1999; 99(3): 94-99
In the submitted pilot study the authors give a basic characteristic of fluoro-quinolones and provide evidence of their effectiveness in prophylaxis and treatment in the dentoalveolar area in some groups of risk patients. The authors summarize their possible usein listed indications.

Cytotoxicity of Endodontic Sealers
Z. Halačková, R. Veselska
Čes. stomatol. Prakt. zub. lék. (Czech Dental Journal) 1999; 99(3): 101-106
The study evaluates the biocompatibility of endodontic sealers based on the evidence of the macrocontact and minimum-essential-medium elution tests. Of the sealers examined, the hydroxide and glassionomer sealer displayed the highest degree of biocompatibility.
Osseointegration of KrF Laser Hydroxylapatite Films on Pure Titantum by Minipigs. First step: Unloaded osseointegration
L. Himmlová, T. Dostálová, M. Jelínek, Ch. Grivas
Čes. stomatol. Prakt. zub. lék. (Czech Dental Journal) 1999; 99(3): 107-114
The aim of study was to evaluate osseointegration of KrF laser hydroxylapatitecoated titanium alloy Ti6Al14V implants. For deposition a KrF excimer laser in a stainless-steel deposition chamber was used. The thickness of HA films was about 1 mm. Minipigs were usedin this investigation. The implants were placed vertically into the lower jaw. Quality of osseointegration was evaluated histologically by transmitted and fluorescent light. In the control group (titanium implant without cover) fibrous connective tissue was seen between the implant and newly formed bone, in laser-deposited coat a layer of fibrous connective tissue was seen only rarely, thus...

O. Kubačáková
Čes. stomatol. Prakt. zub. lék. (Czech Dental Journal) 1999; 99(3): 115-117
The author demonstrates a case of the relatively rare occurrence of an odontogenic myxoma in the ramus mandibulae in a fifteen-year-old female patient. She presents also brief characteristic of this mesenchymal tumour and its biological qualities.
