Local (regional) anesthesia aimed at inferior alveolar nerve was administered in 284 patients by the direct Halsteadt method for the extraction of semi-retained and retained lower wisdom teeth. Artikain or meprivakain were used for this purpose. The average amount of the required anesthetic was 2.84ml. The study has shown that in vertical position of semi-retained teeth, one dose of the anesthetic is usually sufficient. In other cases it is necessary to expect administration of two doses, rarely even more than that.

The caries experience of pre-school children has been increasing over the last years. The defects of primary teeth are often so extensive that multiple extractions are necessary. Most of these patients are unable to cooperate due to low age and extend of the treatment. Dental treatment under general anaesthesia is then the method of choice. The aim of this paper is to present our results and experiences of treatment of children in general anaesthesia. The total number of 185 patients (110 boys, 75 girls) aged 6 month to 16 years has been treated within the period from 1.1. 2004 till 31.12. 2006. 1414 teeth have been treated, from which 1292 (91,3%)...

The group of 20 patients treated for non-Hodgkin lymphomas and multiple myeloma was examined by stomatologists before planned autologous transplantation of stem cells. After tooth sanation and removal of the sources of local irritation and potential foci of odontogenic focal infection the patients were observed in the course of 4 to 5 weeks after transplantation for the occurrence of oral mucositis. Oral mucositis of 1st to 2nd degree (according to NCI-CTC classification) became manifest in the course of hemato-oncological treatment in all patients in relation to the type of chemotherapy. After successful termination of hemato-oncological treatment...

The aim of the present study is the description of dentition of skeleton remains from former Town cemetery Malá Nová (nowadays Antonínská Street), which was used as burial site in 1785-1883. A total of 1024 teeth were appraised and 3227 dental alveoli were examined. The caries intensity (I-CE) of the permanent dentition was proved to be about 38.3% and the caries frequency (F-CE) reached up to 83.8%. These two values were higher in the women. From the different types of teeth, most of dental caries were found on molars, afterwards degressively on premolars, incisors and canines. The inflammation changes of dental alveoli were found in 12.7% cases,...

Aggressive free radicals and ROS substances participate in many stamotological diseases. In the mouth these are formed or transported due to inflammation from white blood cells, in reperfusion after ischemia, cell necrosis, after bleeding in the presence of several metals (Cu, Fe, Hg etc.), due to UV light on mucous membrane, in high glucose level, due to inhalation of injuring, agents smoking, due to pain, from osteoclasts, after some metabolic pathways, due to tooth bleaching etc. The consequence is lipoperoxidation, peroxidation of proteins and DNA with possible mutations and AGE substances are formed. We must take free radicals into account in...
