We have previously compared 25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels in the serum of patients with osteoarthrosis and rheumatoid arthritis, finding no significant difference between the circulating levels of this hormone. We have now estimated 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol levels on stored sera from the same groups of patients and found no significant difference in the levels of this hormone between the 2 groups. The osteopenia that distinguishes rheumatoid arthritis from osteoarthrosis is not the result of altered levels of systemic 25OHD3 or of 1,25(OH)2D3. Local factors may be more important in its pathogenesis.

Various methods of emergency endodontic treatment for teeth with vital pulps have been suggested, and some authors have advised that the access be left open if the tooth is tender to percussion. This study evaluated 225 open and closed teeth which were referred after emergency treatment where pulps had been vital. When the access had been left open, a statistically significant greater number of appointments were needed to complete treatment and more intratreatment exacerbations occurred than when the tooth was kept sealed.
