[The mobile medical clinic: a role of mobile physician crews in the provision of health care for rural populations].

Medical mobile clinics (MMK) have several advantages: autonomous functioning, rapid reacting, mobility and universality, availability and also possibility of providing of medicare even in the most difficult of access and remote districts. For 2 the movable medical brigade of MMK is do more than 30 departures in 25 districts of six areas of Ukraine (Chernovithky, Nicolajevsky, Zhitomirsky and other regions), more than 6000 ultrasonic studies are undertaken, is carried out on nosologies with providing of consultative help narrow specialists. High efficiency of echography is confirmed as the first instrumental method of research at the inspection of wide layers of villagers resident in remote settlements.

An innovative adhesive procedure for connecting transpalatal arches with palatal implants.

The aim of this presentation is to describe an innovative adhesive procedure for connecting palatal implants with transpalatal arches (TPAs). The steps required for completing the procedure, the costs involved and the requisite time were reviewed and compared with those of two alternative procedures reported in the literature. To establish the stability and reliability of the procedure in vitro, tensile stress tests were performed.

Acceptance rate of palatal implants: a questionnaire study.

Implants have gained popularity in orthodontics because they facilitate maximum anchorage with minimum patient cooperation. However, some orthodontists avoid using implants because psychological aspects of the anchorage systems have not been fully reported. In this study, 85 patients who received orthodontic treatment with palatal implants in 2 clinics in Austria completed questionnaires.

Chair-side procedure for connecting transpalatal arches with palatal implants.

The present investigation examined a chair-side procedure for connecting a transpalatal arch (TPA) with palatal implants, which does not involve any laboratory work. This new technique was compared with the standard procedure in terms of the number of steps, the time required, and the cost. The total chair-side time needed with the standard procedure was 38 minutes, with the material costs amounting to [symbol: see text] 159.

Goal-oriented positioning of upper second molars using the palatal intrusion technique.

This article describes an orthodontic mechanical variation to reduce prominence of the palatal cusp of the upper second molar and to correct buccal crossbites in the molar area. By using a modified transpalatal arch with a soldered spur, a button bonded to the palatal surface of the second molar, and an elastic chain intrusion of the palatal cusp with control of buccal root torque is accomplished. The palatal intrusion technique provides a simple and very efficient approach to correct upper second molar position.
