Background: The most remarkable exostoses of the human jaws are torus palatinus (TP) and torus mandibularis (TM). The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of alveolar exostosis among the edentulous patients of Kashmir. Methods: The present study included 200 edentulous subjects aged between 55 and 75 years. The subjects were examined for the existence of tori by clini­cal inspection and palpation. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows version. Results: Among the 200 subjects, 41 (20.5%) had prevalence of tori. Out of 41 patients, four subjects (9.75%) had TP and thirty-seven (18.5%) had TM. Prevalence of TP is more in female subjects than males. Out of the 41 subjects, 27 (65.85%) presented with flat tori, nine (21.95%) with spindle-shaped tori, and five (12.19%) with nodular-shaped tori. Most of the tori observed were small sized (92.68%). Conclusion: A comparatively increased prevalence of TM was observed with flat tori being the most common type.

Introduction/Objective. The objective of this study is to use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze working surfaces of new manual and rotary endodontic instruments and to check possible existence of manufacture dirt particles or defects on the working surface. Methods. In this study, we used three sets of new manual instruments: K-File, KF (Dentsply Maillefer, Switzerland) and Hedstorm Files, HF (SybronEndo Co, USA) and three sets of mechanical Ni-Ti instruments ? type K3 (SybronEndo Co, USA) and BioRaCe (FKG DENTAIRE Swiss Dental Products, Switzerland). The instruments were analyzed using SEM method at 170 ? magnification while semi-quantitative energy dispersive x-ray analysis was used to determine chemical composition of dirt particles. Fisher test (p < 0.05) was applied in statistical analysis. Results. Results showed that none of the instruments were defect-free. The most common defect type was the presence of metal strips, which were noticed at the surface of all tested instruments. Debris was present on all manual and only one type of mechanical instruments, K3 (39% in the apical and 33% in the middle third). Fretting was noticed in all manual KF and all mechanical instruments of the K3 group. Pitting was common in all manual instruments, KF (33% in the apical and 39% in the middle third) and HF (11% in the apical and 6% in the middle third). Corrosion of the working surface, metal flash, and disruption of the cutting edge were marked only in the KF group. Conclusion. Manufacture defects were noticed in all instruments and the most common type of irregularity were metal strips. Electropolished surface of BioRaCe instruments showed no debris of organic origin.

Aim. To determine different periodontal diseases prevalence and distribution in patients attending dental policlinics in Kazan, Russia. Methods. Clinical screening, computed statistical analysis were used as a study methods. 517 medical charts of dental patients (form 043/A) were randomly selected. Different forms of periodontitis were classified according to ICD-10. Results. A high prevalence of periodontal diseases reaching 100% was found among the examined patients who had attended dental policlinics in Kazan, Russia. Chronic (34-89%) and acute (11-44%) apical periodontitis were the most prevalent types of periodontitis in all age groups of patients who had attended dental policlinics. In patients aged 18-39 years acute apical periodontitis was the most common type of periodontitis (11-44%). Conclusion. A high prevalence of periodontal diseases in patients who had attended dental policlinics in Kazan, Russia, was found, with a tendency of chronic periodontitis prevalence to grow, reaching highest levels in elderly patients. Thus, measures for periodontitis prevention and early treatment are vital.

Cumulative auditory effects of repeated exposure to a 3-min 110 dB SPL white noise were examined in 20 subjects (10 male, 10 female). Statistical analysis revealed greater 8-kHz temporary threshold shift in female ears despite equivalent preexposure 8-kHz thresholds across gender. Cumulative effects were seen in thresholds of octave masking scores, especially in female subjects, possibly reflecting increased susceptibility following the second noise exposure.

SUMMARYA genetic study on a sample of patients suffering from essential hypertension has confirmed the inheritance of this disease. In single individuals and in families, especially in young female subjects, the same hereditary load often leads to the appearance of a vascular headache. In some family groups, the vascular headache seems to occur more frequently than in others. This fact suggests the hypothesis of a possible existence of factors able to favour the appearance of this trouble. After considering the data collected from the study of three generations of relatives of the hypertensive propositi, it seems possible to state that the hereditary load usually develops into vascular headache in young age, and hypertension in old age, while headache tends to disappear. This pattern, usually frequent, is not quite constant, and, in the same families, it is possible to find subjects affected with hypertension only, and others (also in old age) with headache only. Therefore, it is possible to think that the abovementioned diseases are pleiotropically determined by the same genetic factors, occurring in different ways, according to age, sex and other genotypic factors. The statistical analysis of the collected data suggests that such disease be inherited as a dominant monomeric autosomal trait, with a higher penetrance in old than in young people. Headache seems to prefer female subjects, while hypertension does not show any sex-preference.

AIM: The aim of the study was to compare the retention of two modalities: Multi-suction cup denture, and denture adhesive and to evaluate the change of retention by different time intervals. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twelve completely edentulous patients were selected. The patients received two dentures: One conventional denture, and the other with multi-suction cups. The retention was measured by a universal testing machine at insertion, 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h. All values were recorded in Newtons. Statistical analysis was carried out using two-way analysis of variance with post hoc Tukey’s test. RESULTS: Retention was higher in denture adhesive than multi-suction cup, and the change of retention was not statistically significant by time. CONCLUSION: Denture adhesive showed better retention clinically and simplified laboratory procedures than multi-suction denture.
