The percentages of people who know the correct method of tooth brushing, the causes of dental caries and gingivitis, how to prevent dental caries, and how to prevent gingivitis were 74%, 85.1%, 86% and 70.2% respectively. The percentages of people who know the use of fluoride-varnishes in children, sealant application, fluoride supplement for pre-school children, and self oral examination were 39.6%, 57.9% 62.6%, and 38.7% respectively. Concerning to dental health behaviors, 91.1% brush their teeth at least twice a day, 64.3% visit dentists when they had oral problems, and 16.2% visit dentists for annual check-ups. The statistical analysis found that female, high educated people, and sufficient earned people had better knowledge and behavior in dental health promotion and prevention than male, lower educated people, and insufficient earned people.

The need of using media for dental health education is significantly related to the learning from television (p < 0.05). Conclusions People in Bangrak district, Bangkok metropolitan administration have insufficient knowledge in dental health promotion and prevention. Sex, age, education, and income are important factors of behaviors of dental health promotion and prevention. Television is an effective media for dental health education.

Restoration Of Amputated Tooth With Fixed Restoration: A Case Report, Sittidej Nincharoen, Sunphat Namano Jan 2003

Restoration Of Amputated Tooth With Fixed Restoration: A Case Report, Sittidej Nincharoen, Sunphat Namano

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Restorative treatment planning is often confounded when periodontal attachment loss, caries or tooth fracture involves the furcation area of the multirooted molars. Although such involvement invariably diminishes the long-term prognosis of the affected teeth, extraction is not always a good option. Root resection, which removes the involved root plus its associated crown portion, is one of several treatment modalities that can be used in such cases. This paper reports a patient having a fixed bridge restoration by using a lower molar and a resected tooth of a lower molar as abutments. For this case, the semi-precious alloy is the metal …
