[Stomatologic mass screening in the 3rd District of Budapest]. / Stomatoonkológiai szürövizsgálatok Budapest III. kerületében.

Stomatooncological examinations, related to the lung-screening process in the 3rd district of Budapest have been performed for one and a half year. Screening examinations of 2213 non-selected patients identified precancerous lesions in 127 cases: leukoplakia in 5.74%, oral lichen in 0.36%. Fifty-seven percent of the patients never or only in painful cases visited the dentist. Based on their findings, the authors claim to continue this screening program, and recommend the extension of this model to the whole population.

[Dental status of 14-18-year old secondary school students in Budapest (VIII. District) in 1991. (Implications of a dental-sociological study)]. / 14-18 éves budapesti (VIII. kerületi) középiskolások fogazati állapota 1991-ben (Egy fogászati-szociológiai vizsgálat fogorvosi vonatkozásai).

In this dento-sociological examination the dental status of 1623 secondary-school-students living in the capital of Hungary, was found better than that of the same-aged students examined previously. The number of decayed teeth was higher than the number of filled teeth. The average level of oral hygiene was found between "good" and "middle" levels. Among the three types of secondary schools the best oral hygiene status was found in the secondary grammar school.

[The effect of fluoridated milk on caries reduction over 12 years]. / Fluordúsított tej cariesreduktív hatásának vizsgálata 12 év után.

The aim of the study was to assess the caries-preventive effect of fluoridated milk after 12-years of consumption, including 2 years interruption. DMF mean values of 162 institutionalized children aged 7-to 14 years were compared with DMF mean values of 139 institutionalized control children of the same age. The children consumed 200 ml milk daily, implemented with 0.4 mg -0.75 mg F(-)--depending on their age--between 1979-1984, after 2 years interruption they got fluoridated milk or cocoa-milk twice a week during 10 years. In the test group the ratio of caries-free children averaged more than 10%. The caries prevalence in the permanent dentition showed statistically significant reduction. The caries reduction regarding all groups was 36.78% in case of DMF-T, and 40.02% of DMF-S. According to our results the consumption of fluoridated milk in institutionalized children proved to be effective also in the long run.

Effect of fluoridated milk on caries: 10-year results.

The aim of the study was to assess the caries-preventive effect of fluoridated milk after 10 years of consumption, including a two-year interruption. DMF mean values of 162 institutionalized children aged 7- to 14-years were compared to DMF mean values of 139 institutionalized children (control) of the same age. The test group children consumed 200 ml milk daily, implemented with 0.4 mg-to 0.75 mg F, depending on their age, continuously for six years. Following a two year interruption, the children again got fluoridated milk or cocoa-milk twice a week for four years. In the test group the average ratio of caries-free children was 10% more than in the control group. The caries prevalence in the permanent dentition showed a clinically and statistically significant reduction: 36.78% on DMFT, and 40.02% on DMFS mean values.
