In 1951, A. Dahlberg took casts of 82 children aged 8-17 who lived in the Sac-Fox Settlement near Tama, Iowa. In 1990, the Indian Health Service supported a survey of 44 survivors from the 1951 study. All were contacted and 23 were examined. The findings from this study were compared with findings from similar aged Sac-Fox residents surveyed in 1982, and with the residents of Iowa of a similar age surveyed in 1980. The DMFS score of the 1990 Sac-Fox samples was larger (92.4) than that for the Iowa Survey (75.3). The periodontal findings were similar in the three samples, with one exception, the category 6+mm pockets were seen more frequently in the 1990 Sac-Fox sample (13.0%) than in the 1982 Sac-Fox (8.7%) and 1980 Iowa (2.9%) samples. Mucosal lesions were observed much more frequently in the Sac-Fox 1990 (69.6%) and 1982 (65.2%) samples, compared to the 1980 sample (8.6%). The frequency of totally edentulous persons was also much greater in the Sac-Fox samples, as compared to the Iowa Sample. It appears that the 1982 recommendations for making preventive procedures available to Sac-Fox adults is still appropriate in 1990.

The correct orientation of the occlusal plane is the first and one of the important steps while recording jaw relationships in an edentulous patient. One of the most popular methods is to orient the occlusal plane to interpupillary line anteriorly and ala-tragus lines posteriorly which is usually accomplished by repetitive adjustment of the maxillary rim until a hand-held Fox's plane appears to be parallel to these lines. However, this process is time-consuming and error-prone. The eventual plane is almost always an educated guess, and this can be difficult for a new student. The device presented in this article marks the occlusal plane on wax rims parallel to interpupillary line anteriorly and the ala-tragus lines posteriorly, and thus, occlusal plane can be oriented in one simple step, thereby saving time and increasing efficiency of the operator.
