Čes. stomatol. Prakt. zub. lék. (Czech Dental Journal) 2017; 117(1): 8-12 | DOI: 10.51479/cspzl.2017.002

Aim of study: The article discusses the topic of dental care for Roma patients. It reflects the absence of data in this area. Literature points out the generally deteriorated health condition of the Roma minority, primarily affected by unsuitable social environment, but also by some cultural characteristics. Material and methods: The article presents the data from the research implemented by questionnaire investigation made among dentists in České Budějovice who have Roma patients (n = 37) in their records, as well as among Roma inhabitants over 15 years in the same town (n = 237). The data were statistically processed in SPSS Program.The...

V. Tomečková, S. Dolinská

Čes. stomatol. Prakt. zub. lék. (Czech Dental Journal) 2017; 117(1): 3-7 | DOI: 10.51479/cspzl.2017.001

Introduction, aim: The aim of this review is to describe the composition and biochemical importance of pellicle - organic layer at the teeth surface during effect of external environment, different chemical elements and compounds (in fruit, vegetables, food, drink, tobacco), psychotropic agents, on the enamel colour, structure and the oral cavity health. This paper discusses the possible biochemical mechanisms involved in the binding of different pigments - chromogens to the pellicle of the teeth enamel. Natural and synthetic substances from the diet may have coloring or bleaching effect on the teeth enamel. Methods: A comparison...

Review of the Expert Systems in General Medicine and Dentistry

E. Šedivá, L. Hart, T. Dostálová

Čes. stomatol. Prakt. zub. lék. (Czech Dental Journal) 2017; 117(1): 3-7 | DOI: 10.51479/cspzl.2017.017

The aim of Study: Development of expert systems (ES) has been going on for over 45 years and in the course of time gradually evolving, changing the face and appears in its use across our company. Expert systems from the 70s gradually expanded primarily in medical informatics, which in recent years is growing in importance, especially for high structuring of medical knowledge. The aim of expert systems to solve the situation in the absence of an expert - a man. The human expert but is absolutely essential cell during development, since he defines their knowledge base (knowledge base), without which the ES could not decide alone. Hence their inclusion...

Biochemical Composition of the Teeth and the Effect of the Various Chemical Elements on their Structure

S. Dolinská, V. Tomečková

Čes. stomatol. Prakt. zub. lék. (Czech Dental Journal) 2017; 117(1): 13-23 | DOI: 10.51479/cspzl.2017.003

Introduction and objectives: The main objective of this review article is a detailed description of the tooth structure, bioorganic and bioinorganic composition of the tooth components, the protective biochemical process of tooth which can protect against tooth caries and processes which might damage the integrity of the tooth. The next section of this work describes the effect of various dietary chemical elements which are involved in the stronger teeth structure and increase the resistance of teeth against the effect of acids. Methods: Analysis of teeth composition, comparison of different chemical elements from diet. Results:...
