ACH Smith | Caries inhibitory effect of fluoridated sugar in a trial in Indonesia
In some regional areas of Indonesia, caries prevalence is increasing rapidly. As water, salt or milk fluoridation were not considered suitable for use throughout Indonesia, and fluoridated tooth paste is mostly too expensive, a fluoride cocrystallised sugar containing 10ppm fluoride was prepared. Its efficacy in inhibiting caries development was tested in a field trial.

CASE REPORTSForeign bodies in the maxillary antrum: A case report
A case is presented where six gutta percha (GP) points were introduced into the right maxillary antrum during routine endodontic treatment on an upper second premolar tooth in a poorly controlled insulin-dependent diabetic. The surgical management of the case is described and the possibly more serious sequelae are discussed. Comments are made on the appropriateness of the treatment plan.

RF Walters | Submandibular gland aplasia and progressive dental caries: A case report
When severe caries occurs in mandibular permanent incisor teeth, the clinician should consider the possibility of associated submandibular gland aplasia or salivary hypofunction. Early diagnosis of submandibular gland disease is essential, as operative problems involving restoration of mandibular incisor teeth are considerable. Furthermore, progressive severe dental caries can present a dilemma for the clinician in affected individuals, despite intensive preventive and restorative therapy. A case report describing severe progressive dental caries and enamel demineralization of the permanent mandibular incisor teeth in a young girl is presented.
