The aim of the present investigation was an in vivo evaluation of possible interactions between electrically powered dental instruments and the function of artificial pacemakers in humans. In 26 patients with artificial pacemakers, different dental instruments were applied, including air scaler, ultrasonic curets, electric pulp tester and electrotome. These devices were applied at highest intensity. Immediately prior to, during, and immediately after applications of these instruments, the pulse rate and the electrocardiogram (EKG) were recorded. The EKG recordings were assessed for irregularities in the distances between the pacemaker peaks. The dental devices were assessed for magnetic fields or induction tension. The results showed that none of the dental devices caused an irregularity in the pacemaker function. The air scaler, Piezon ultrasonic curet and the electric pulp tester caused no measurable magnetic fields. The Sonus 2 ultrasonic curet and the electrotome magnetic fields were measured up to 60 and 50 cm, respectively. All dental devices caused induction tension. The highest value was produced by the electrotome. It seems that cardiac pacemaker function is not affected by electrically powered dental devices. However, there remains a risk in relation to older pacemakers or defective dental devices.</p>","PeriodicalId":77587,"journal":{"name":"Parodontologie (Berlin, Germany)","volume":"2 4","pages":"299-308"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13001718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is an accumulation of LPR-patients, who referred to the Department of Periodontology, in young adults. Patients suffering from LPR show, in comparison to healthy people, a smaller diameter of the canine's apical basis both in the maxillary and mandibular arches, a smaller circumference of the alveolar crest as well as an upper canine-crown which is turned out from the teeth arcus in a more labial direction. The vestibular sites of teeth 44, 23, 34, 13, 14, 24, and 43 are mainly affected by LPR. Right-handers generally show more and stronger LPR in both arches as well as a smaller value of oral hygiene index. The chronic trauma of teeth brushing is very important in the pathogenesis of the LPR. Prevention of LPR involves individual oral health education to protect the vestibular gingiva from chronic brushing trauma.</p>","PeriodicalId":77587,"journal":{"name":"Parodontologie (Berlin, Germany)","volume":"2 3","pages":"235-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12980282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
