[Efficiency of amalgam preparation by mechanical mixing using predosed capsules]. / Zur Effektivität der Amalgamherstellung bei maschineller Mischung unter Verwendung vordosierter Kapseln.

With regard to a modified capsule program permitting to predose dental materials in stomatological practice, the clinical use of an amalgamator designed for predosed capsules is evaluated from economic and ergonomic aspects. During two and a half years of intensive utilization, this amalgamator has proved very successful. Therefore, it may be recommended as an essential element of the capsule system.

[Design, function and advantage of a centralized suction device based on the principle of a fluid-ring vacuum pump]. / Aufbau, Funktion und Vorteile einer zentralen Absauganlage nach dem Prinzip einer Flüssigkeitsring-Vakuum-Pumpe

The authors describe a centralized suction device worked on the fluid-ring pump principle. The advantages offered by this multi-phase unit, which works in a watery milieu, to stomatological practice are presented in the light of 18 months of clinical use.

[A combination cabinet for the orthodontic office]. / Ein Kombinationsschrank für den kieferorthopädischen Behandlungsplatz

[Comparative clinical and experimental studies of various denture cleansers. 2. Testing of antimicrobial efficiency]. / Vergleichende klinische und experimentelle Untersuchungen verschiedener Prothesenreinigungsmittel 2. Mitteilung: Prüfung der antimikrobiellen Wirksamkeit

Agar diffusion plate tests were performed on five strains of micro-organisms to characterize the disinfecting properties of nine denture cleaners. Furthermore, the liberation of oxygen was determined as a function of time, and the course of pH variation of the various cleaning solutions was studied. The highest oxygen concentrations and the best antimicrobic activities were achieved by the preparations Eladent G and T.

[Working posture during the treatment of a slightly reclining patient]. / Arbeitspositionen bei der Behandlung am leicht zurückgeneigten Patienten

Allowing for the work areas, the sequence of operations and the kind of treatment under direct or indirect vision, the author proposes working positions for sit-down dentistry which harmonize with the patient's posture.

[Special aspects of the suction technic]. / Spezielle Aspekte der Absaugtechnik

A right-angled cannula is presented that is suited for unhindered suction in the regions of the left maxilla and mandible and of the upper anteriors.

[Ultrasonic cleaning of dental instruments]. / Zur Ultraschall-Reinigung des zahnärztlichen Instrumentariums

[Stomatological studies of a Neolithic population from the collective grave at Schönstedt in Thuringia]. / Gebissbefunde einer neolithischen Population aus dem Kollektivgrab von Schönstedt im Thüringer Becken

Of 64 burials at the Schönstedt common burial-ground which dates from the neolithic age, 49 well-preserved dentitions were examined for caries incidence, periodontal disease, abrasion, hypodontia and polydontia, tooth alignment and occlusal position. The results obtained are discussed with regard to contemporaneous and modern conditions.

[Possibilities of an ergonomically designed working place]. / Möglichkeiten ergonomiegerechter Arbeitsplatxgestaltung

Starting from a conventional stomatological work place, the author shows how to arrive stepwise, by reconstruction and new aquisitions, at two conceptions which enable the treating team to work in seated position.

[Construction and mode of action of a suction apparatus based on the vacuum cleaner principle]. / Aufbau und Wirkungsweise einer Absauganlage nach dem Staubsaugerprinzip

Design and mode of action of a suction apparatus worked on the vacuum cleaner principle. A suction apparatus worked on the vacuum cleaner principle is presented as a part of a modern work-place conception.
