The Use of Fluoride Preparations in Dental Practice
Abstract— A survey of a 10 per cent sample of general practitioners in Queensland showed that topical fluoride therapy was still widely practised and accepted in Queensland and believed by most dentists to be economically worthwhile. In a State where less than five per cent of the population has access to a fluoridated water supply, all of the dentists in the sample advocated the use of fluoride tablets by young children. Since there was an apparent lack of preparedness by most of the dentists to manage acute fluoride poisoning resulting from excessive ingestion of fluoride through these sources, a schedule of treatment has been recorded. 1985 Australian Dental Associatio

A Survey of Dental Radiography
A survey was conducted to provide an overview of dental radiography in Australia as practised by private general dental practitioners. There was a response of 77 per cent from the 1419 dentists who were sent questionnaires. Data are presented on how the survey was conducted, response by State or Territory, education details of respondents, special interest areas of respondents and reasons for retaking radiographs. Possible sources of bias in the results are also discussed. The two most common reasons given for retaking radiographs were processing errors (33.4 per cent) and incorrect technique (27.7 per cent). 1988 Australian Dental Associatio
