March 2005 - Volume 50 Number 1REVIEWSWhy be down in the mouth? Three decades of research in oral microbiology
This paper describes some of the work done in the author’s laboratory over the past 35 years. The research covers the following areas: the physiology of oral streptococci and their interactions; the physiology of some Gram-negative anaerobes and their interactions in relation to periodontal diseases; preventing the major dental diseases; and the future of oral microbiology.
| AH Rogers | Eating disorders and oral health: A review of the literature
This article is a review of the recent literature pertaining to the oral sequelae of eating disorders (EDs). Dentists are recognized as being some of the first health care professionals to whom a previously undiagnosed eating disorder patient (EDP) may present. However, despite the prevalence (up to 4 per cent) of such conditions in teenage girls and young adult females, there is relatively little published in the recent literature regarding the oral sequelae of EDs.

IG Chambers | Factors influencing the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease by dental practitioners in Victoria
Healthy periodontal tissues are essential to overall dental health. Therefore, the detection and management of periodontal disease is an integral part of general dental practice. The aim of this study was to investigate confidence in diagnosis and management of periodontal disease by general dental practitioners (GDPs), assess if the Dental Practice Board guidelines on periodontal record keeping are being addressed, and, if necessary, try to find ways of improving the periodontal knowledge of GDPs.

A Welsh | Three-dimensional modelling and finite element analysis of the human mandible during clenching
Until recently, very few papers have been published concerning the development, analysis and experimental verification of three-dimensional, finite element modelling of the human adult edentulous mandible. The purpose of this study was to improve the method of modelling by using computer-aided engineering (CAE) and computeraided design (CAD) methods and to utilize the model in analyzing maxillofacial problems.

CASE REPORTDATA WATCHService provision in private general practice: 1983-1984 to 1998-1999
Shifts in service provision over time can reflect changes in demography, oral health and expectations, as well as new technology and provider preferences. Trends towards improved oral heath have been observed in the Australian population over recent decades.
