• Article: Population distribution of human salivary amylases: differential inhibition by wheat protein.

  G B Gertzman, M L Rivas, D H Strumeyer
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: Based upon response to an inhibitor from wheat gliadin, 80 random samples of human salivary amylase were separated into three phenotypic groups. Each phenotype occurred with a high frequency rendering this a polymorphinc locus. The susceptibility to the inhibitor may be a useful marker for studies of tendency to caries and periodontal disease as well as for studies of genetic variation and linkage.

• Article: Multiple hamartoma and neoplasia syndrome (Cowden's syndrome).

  G B Gertzman, M Clark, G Gaston
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: A case report involving a patient with Cowden's syndrome is presented. The patient's family is shown to be affected in a pattern consistent with an autosomal dominant form of transmission of this inherited disorder. The disorder can be diagnosed in its early stages by gingival and cutaneous manifestations; it is emphasized that the dentist is therefore perhaps the best-qualified health care professional to recognize the disease in its early stages and to alert the patient to be monitored for later predictable neoplasia which can perhaps be treated before metastasis develops.

• Article: Amelogenesis imperfecta: local hypoplastic type with pulpal calcification.

  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: A case report of a patient with local hypoplastic type of amelogenesis imperfecta is presented. Developmentally absent canines and unerupted teeth in the anterior maxilla and calcifications in the apical third of the pulp chambers of the molars were noticed and discussed. A family history was analyzed as consistent with an autosomal dominant form of transmission of the disorder.
