[Histological and ultrastructural observations of dentin dysplasia type I].

The Authors described a case of dentinal dysplasia type I in one patient (7.6 years). The father also presented the same pathology. The AA. presented the histological and ultra-structural observations, with scansion electron microscopy aut they showed the main aspects of these pathology: pulpal root canal obliterated with dysplastiques dentinal masses, globuliform dentin with irregular form of tubuli and rest of organic pulpar tissue with calcified material.

[Applications of the ETCH technic and orthodontic brackets in some clinical cases].

The Authors shawed how the sealants having a resin base that can establish with tooth surfaces treated with acid, a sound connection among these and orthodontic brackets, originally used in orthodontic treatment, can also be used for fixation of fractures. The case described concern seven patients with a fracture of maxillaries. It was demonstrated that such a procedure was easy to execute for the operator and did not give any trouble to the patient. The results obtained were satisfactory.

[Ectodermal dysplasia. Clinical case].

A case of ectodermal dysplasia with anodontia, and severe hypotrichosis is described. Clinical aspects and differential diagnosis with Huth-chinson-Gildorf syndrome are also discussed.

Late taste disorders in bone marrow transplantation: clinical evaluation with taste solutions in autologous and allogeneic bone marrow recipients.

The aim of this work was to determine the type and the significance of taste disorders in allogeneic bone marrow transplanted patients. In a retrospective study the taste threshold of a cohort of 15 allogeneic bone marrow transplanted patients, 4-51 months after transplantation (mean: 30.6 +/- 15.8), was compared to the taste threshold of 8 autologous bone marrow recipients, 4-48 months after transplantation (mean: 24.12 +/- 12.18), and to the taste threshold of a group of 20 consecutive normal subjects. Allogeneic bone marrow transplanted patients showed a significant hypogeusia for salt (Pearson's chi square p = 0.0002; Yates' correction p = 0.0007) and sour (Pearson's chi square p = 0.001; Yates' correction p = 0.008). No significant variations were observed for sweet and bitter. Autologous bone marrow recipients did not show any significant variation of taste acuity for sweet, salt or sour; a constant reduction of the taste threshold for bitter was observed, but the values were not significantly different from normal (Pearson's chi square p = 0.47; Yates' correction p = 0.83). So, late and selective taste disorders are observed in allogeneic bone marrow transplanted patients. Since the severity of the disorders is not strictly related to the severity of chronic oral G.V.H.D., taste analysis could discover the slightest, clinically undetectable cases of chronic oral G.V.H.D. The mechanism of immune aggression on the sensorial taste cells is poorly understood. Further trials are needed to define variations of taste acuity not only after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, but also in systemic immune diseases.

Adolescent

[Supernumerary teeth in the deciduous dentition].

The Authors presented sovrannumeraries (S) teeth in primary dentition, and the pedodontic, surgical and orthodontic problems. Semeiotics signs, and X Ray suggested, are described. All the types of S. teeth are showed: supplementaries, conoides, tuberculates and infundibuliformes. For every type characteristics, problems and surgical timing are described. Tuberculates and infundibuliformes teeth are the most dangerous for the permanent teeth interrupted: eruption delay, dilacerations, impactions, fusion, follicles, diseases, are reported. The direction of the growth of S. teeth must be analyzed. If the direction is external the timing of surgery is very important. Finally the Authors emphasized the role of cooperation of pedodontist, with oral surgeon and orthodontist for to obtain good results.
