Saliva plays an important part in naturally maintaining oral homeostasis. Dry mouth or 'xerostomia', is a serious problem connected with decreased saliva secretion which considerably limits the quality of life in elderly people. The aim of the study was the assessment of the subjective oral dryness in the oral mucosa in people over 65 living in Lublin, Poland. The study was conducted among 240 people aged 65 to 96. The patients were placed into two groups: I - 117 residents of nursing homes, II - 123 people living with their families. Assessment of the subjective oral dryness taking into account the place of residence, sex and drug administration was performed based on a questionnaire survey. In the group of nursing homes residents, 32.48% of the surveyed experienced subjective oral dryness, while among the seniors living with their families, 33.33% reported this kind of discomfort. The conducted analysis revealed that oral dryness was more common amongst women than men, and it can be very often a side-effect of administered medicine drugs.

Introduction. Midline gap (diastema) is a space between two teeth, commonly between two incisors. The treatment can be provided by orthodontic, conservative (restorative) or prosthetic methods. Aim. The aim of the study was an assessment of using direct composite restoration in aesthetic closing of diastema. Material and methods. The space correction between teeth was performed among female and male adult patients with diastema of 3 to 6 mm. The microhybrid resin composite was used for the composite build-ups with a help of celluloid or silicon matrix due to its good handling properties and shade matching, and polishability properties. Results. Depending on the size of diastema, the partial or total closing was done to achieve the cosmetic effect. The obtained clinical results were highly assessed both by dentists and patients. It was possible to obtain optimal aesthetic results with resin composite restorations only. Conclusions. The simple closure of diastema with direct composite reconstructions can result in successful outcome and patient's satisfaction.

Introduction. The problem of high caries prevalence among preschool children has been widely discussed in Poland. Studies show unsatisfactory level of children’s oral health. A reason of this situation could be insufficient health education. Aim. The aim of the study was to evaluate kindergarten teachers’ preparation to promote oral health among children. Material and methods. Ninety-seven preschool teachers from Lublin (96 women and 1 man) participated in the study. Teachers were asked to fill survey forms concerning: oral health education campaigns launched in the kindergarten, meals consumed by kids and basic issues of oral hygiene. Results and discussion. The majority of examined teachers (96.91%) confirmed that oral health education campaigns were executed at their workplace. Significantly less people confirmed execution of fluoridation programs. Half of the subjects (53.61%) rated their knowledge of oral health diseases prevention as good. Passing on the knowledge about oral hygiene during lessons with children was confirmed by 96.91% subjects. A great proportion of the subjects (71.13%) think that launching regular oral health education campaigns among teachers would help to improve oral health level of children. Conclusions. Kindergarten teachers have general, but not expert knowledge of oral health. Trained teachers could play an important role in raising children health status

Modern restorative dentistry offers many methods of restoring qualitative cavities within the clinical crowns. Due to the concept of maintaining continuity of the dental arch and maintaining the correct plane of occlusion, for reconstruction of posterior teeth, there are especially recommended indirect restorations, which are made in the dental laboratory, i.e. crown inlays. The aim of the study was based on the literature to describe indications, classifications and advantages of indirect composite inlays. Additionally, factors affecting the durability of indirect composite inlays and the influence on stomatognathic system were noted. Authors concluded that composite inlays can be recommended restoration method, not only in situations of loss of clinical crown tissue, but also in situations where it is necessary as structural reinforcement, e.g., in the case of Cracked Tooth Syndrome or Molar Incisor Hypomineralization.
