   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Child; Child; Preschool; Cohort Studies; Composite Resins; chemistry; DMF Index; Dental Caries; epidemiology; microbiology; pathology; therapy; Dental Cavity Preparation; classification; Dental Enamel; pathology; Dental Restoration; Permanent; statistics numerical data; Follow-Up Studies; Glass Ionomer Cements; chemistry; Humans; Molar; Prevalence; Prosthesis Failure; Recurrence; Sweden; epidemiology; Tooth; Deciduous;

   Sammanfattning : The failure rate of restorative treatment in primary teeth was studied in a cohort of children born in 1981 and related to caries diagnosis, prevalence and distribution on different tooth surfaces, and compared with a cohort of children born in 1971. Concurrently, the longevity of composite resin in modified Class 2 cavities in primary molars was followed up and the resistance of deciduous and permanent enamel to acid adjacent to composite resin and glass polyalkeonate cement (GPA) was tested in vitro.

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation in the history of science and ideas studies the Swedish dental amalgam controversy in the late 20th century. Erupting in the early 1980s, the controversy concerned the issue of whether mercury containing dental amalgams could poison those who had had their teeth filled, or whether the many patients making such claims were in fact suffering from stress, unresolved trauma, or other illnesses.

   Sammanfattning : Amalgam has been used as a dental restorative material for centuries, but its potential health effects and biopersistance has lead to a decreased use especially in the Nordic countries. New materials have been introduced, partly to replace the mercury containing amalgam and partly because of esthetical reasons. LÄS MER
