Comparative Study
A total of 174 subjects aged 18 to 24 were examined using the Greene-Vermillion index of dental deposit for the assessment of the oral cavity hygienic status. The intensity of chronic gingivitis was assessed using the PMA index modified by Parma. In all the patients dental deposit was removed using cotton cones formed on fine conical fissure bores fixed in angular tips. Phosphate cement powder was used as a abrasion material. In a month the patients were examined repeatedly. One session of a professional removal of the dental deposit was found sufficient to reduce the dental deposit index and the intensity of chronic gingivitis, this permitting a conclusion on the efficacy of this preventive method and recommending it for practice.

PURPOSE
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of xerostomia among patients attending a dental clinic for provision of dentures and to investigate the oral cleanliness in those patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Denture-wearing patients who reported dry mouth completed a questionnaire related to xerostomia. Dryness of the mouth was determined by clinical observation. Dental and denture cleanliness was determined using the Modified Debris Index.
RESULTS
One hundred twenty patients had xerostomia. Oral cleanliness was generally poor.
CONCLUSION
There was a high prevalence of xerostomia in the patient population. A high proportion of subjects had poor oral cleanliness.

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the study was to assess the feasibility of MRI of three-dimensional visualization and quantification of carious lesions, as well as measurement of the distance between the lesion and dental pulp in vivo.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
High-resolution 3D MRI was performed to measure seven carious lesions in vivo using gelatinous gadolinium-based oral contrast medium in combination with an intraoral radio frequency receiver coil on a clinical 1.5 T MRI scanner. Extension of the carious lesion in three spatial dimensions and the minimum distance between the lesion and dental pulp were quantified. When possible, the result was compared to an X-ray projection and an impression of the lesion taken using a plastic impression material before and after dental treatment.
RESULTS
Carious lesions, including pit and fissure, approximal lesions, and occult dentin caries, could be visualized due to the MRI signal rise in the porous affected dentin. The minimum distance between the carious lesion and dental pulp could be determined in all cases.
CONCLUSION
The results presented demonstrate the feasibility of high-resolution dental MRI to three-dimensionally visualize and quantify carious lesions, including approximal and occult caries lesions, and measure the minimum distance to the dental pulp.

Saliva may be considered as being similar to enamel but in a liquid phase. Saliva, the mechanics of remineralization and demineralization, the acquired pellicle and the enamel surface all act to maintain the status quo, resisting mineral loss from the enamel.
