A—6 DENTAL DIAGNOSIS IS TOPIC AT CLINIC First Annual Meeting of Alumni Group Is Held at Georgetown, Responsibility for the prevention of most of the common tooth troubles that inflict the human race was placed #quarely on the general practitioner by prominent authorities in analyzing sclentific methods of diagnosis and preventive dentistry at Georgetown University's first annual alumni dental «clinic. Nearly all the cases of pyorrhea, causing 65 per cent of the loss of teeth, could have been avoided if prac- titioners had recognized the tendency at the beginning and corrected it, Dr. Ralph B. Snapp of Winchester, Va., told 500 dentists from all parts of the East, who attended the sessions. The practitioner, who is first to see the patient's mouth, too often fails in his duty to make a proper diagnosis, eald Dr. Snapp, past president of the Virginia State Dental Association and & recognized authority on diseases of the mouth. “The use of the X-ray has become the chief factor in diagnosis and pre- ventive dentistry,” Dr. Michael L. Mul- laney, chief of the Rhode Island Hos- ital dental staff, declared. “If gen- ral practitioners would conscientious- 1y recommend periodical X-ray exam- inations to their patients there would be much less tooth trouble in the world,” he said. X-Ray Technique Discussed. Awarded the degree of D. Sc. by QGeorgetown in 1929 for his work in the field, Dr. Mullaney, who comes from Providence, delivered & paper on “X-Ray Technique and Diagnosis in Dentistry.” “By periodical examinations,” he eaid, “90 per cent of tooth decay and bone disease could be eliminated.” If a yearly check were made from childhood, he said, there would be *no extensive cyst formations or de- struction, which cause the patient ma- Jor operations and loss of time.” In his technical analysis of the technique, Dr. Mullaney stressed the necessity for photographically perfect and anatomically detailed X-ray pic- tures, making due allowance for pecu- lar anatomical deviations of the indl- ‘vidual patient. “Re$ults from the X-ray,” he re- minded, “will be no better than the technique of the operator and certain- 1y no better than the discernment of the diagnostician.” Contributing Causes Cited. The “playful boy friend,” the auto- mobile and the hablt of “drinking not wisely, but too well” are the most frequent contributing causes of frac- tured lower jaw bones, in the opinion of Dr. George I. Connolly, chief oral dental surgeon of the Carney Hos-| pital, Boston. Men are more apt to sustain frac- tures of the mandible than women, he said, and they occur most fre- quently between the ages of 20 and 40 vears. Dr. H. R. Churchill, professor of | histology and comparative odontology at the University of Pennsylvania Bchool of Dentistry, read a paper devoted to treatment of inflammation | C. J. Schweikhardt | J of tissues. Dr. of Newark, N. J.,, discussed in an- other paper the preparations for im- mediate denture service. University officials, including Very Rev. Arthur A. O'Leary, S. J., presi- dent of Georgetown University, and | Dr. the District of Columbia Alumni Chap- | .ter, welcomed the attending dentists | oo at a luncheon meeting. There nere\ _-addresses also by Rev. David V. Mc- | Cauley, S. J,, regent of Dental School, | and Dr. William N. Cogan, the dean. | They all stressed the point that| the first clinic of its kind held at| the school would be made an annual affair. Some of the alumni came from as far West as Minnesota and | Wisconsin. Dr. O'Leary referred to the ses- slon as a ‘“practical demonstration” of what the alumni can do in show- ing their appreciation of the uni- wversity. Deaths Reported. ul:’:llllfle Phillis. §6.
