In a review of the international literature about water absorption of denture base resins any effect on the physical properties of these polymers has been considered. The authors discuss the possibilities of controlling the final results on denture base function.
This report evaluates the role of local pharmacotherapy by subgingival irrigation to enhance clinical and microbiological periodontal status. This kind of chemical therapy is not a substitute to scaling and root planing, but possibly could increase its beneficial effects.
Authors consider the possibility to use antibiotics to control periodontal disease. More used antibiotics are exposed systematically and topically administered.
Authors considering microbiological and clinical characteristics of chlorhexidine pointing out its notable capacity to inhibit bacterial plaque formation and analyze possible collateral effects by its use.

We describe the case of a 29-year-old male with a history of cocaine use who was hospitalized for a traumatic femur fracture. After spinal anesthesia with buprenorfin and bupivacain, he had electrocardiographic evidence of inferior myocardial ischemia. He was treated successfully with intravenous nitroglycerin. We conclude that not only cocaine addicts, but also subjects with a past history of cocaine use, may be at risk for transient myocardial ischemia when anesthetized with local cocaine-like anesthetics.
