[Bonding of fragments in coronal fractures].

The coronal fractures of the upper incisors for traumatic injuries represent the 8% of the total dental trauma. The use of new dentinal adhesive have permitted to obtain new interesting development in dental traumatology and dental aesthetic, like the possibility of the utilization of the dental fragment, of the incisor broken for a trauma. The new dentinal adhesive is the Gluma (Bayer). The Author describes the technique, the times, some particulars and step by step all the method to obtain good final results. The Author described complicated and uncomplicated crown fractures, fractures with several fragments and corono-radicular fractures with reattachment of the fragment. The long distances results (3 years) of 48 cases are presented. Finally are presented all the advantages compared to the traditional methods with the composites materials.

[New methods and new technics in pedodontics: "conscious sedation"!].

The reasons why is it sometimes necessary to resort in paediatric dentistry to the use of conscious sedation with N2O/O2 are explained together with clinical indications and applications. The excellent results obtained with this technique lead to greater cooperation of the child, to a positive emotional contact with dental treatment and the possibility of performing the necessary therapies with greater precision.

[Morphological research on the dental pulp of the calf].

Morphological researches have been carried out through histological studies with fine and semifine sections at the electronic scan microscope on the dental pulp of calves. The general aim was to identify the antioxidant properties of pulp and study cellular density and microfibrillar architecture. The dental pulps of calves of 5-6 months taken immediately after slaughtering were used with immersions into the fixing liquid. The scan microscope showed fibroblasts in the deepest regions of the pulp in a stroma of collagenic fibres, not organised but scattered among the cells of the connective tissue. The odontoblasts presented well ordered one beside the others with well visible details such as the swollen basal portion, the nucleus and a very tight villosity. No clear interodontoblastic connections were evident. The electron transmission microscope revealed typical cells with histiocyte appearance with microfilaments evident in the cytoplasma (myofibroblasts) presenting a wide variety of cytoplasmatic interconnections with interdigitations.

[Caridex--conscious sedation association. A new approach in pedodontics].

Psycological approach and analgesia are very important in paediatric dentistry. Sometimes the first is not enough and it is necessary the use of pharmacological methods. They are represented with sure and useful technique like "relative analgesia" with N2O/O2. The use of Caridex method is also very good in operative paediatric dentistry because there is not the necessity of local anesthesia with injection and the use of burns and drills. The AA. have connected together these two methods, and they present some very interesting clinical reports. With Caridex it's possible to remove only decayed dentine saving so the healthy dentine and reducing fear and stress in very young children. The association with relative analgesia permits to do a very early and global therapy in children also very young (24-36 months). The AA. have obtained a reduction of hemotivity, of odontogenous stress, and last but not least with this method there is the opportunity to avoid the general anesthesia.

[Root fracture and tooth luxation. Endo-orthodontic technic after 15 years].

The authors described a personal treatment method for the traumatic root fractures in the permanent incisors, and the review of their results after 15 years. The method consists in the good immobilisation and fixation of the injured teeth, with orthodontic bands and brackets and arch wire. They put this orthodontic contention for one-two months, and after x-ray control and pulp vitality checks, removed it. They presented also the use of the same technique in the luxations of permanent incisors, and compared the results. In the root fractures the authors obtain good long distance results, such as pulp vitality, good health, calcified tissue in the fracture zone, good stability of the tooth. Otherwise in the incisors luxations they frequently founded pulp necrosis, and root resorption in the long distance controls.

Child

[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.

Child

[Treatment of dental agenesis in the child].

This paper aims to emphasize the highly interdisciplinary nature of the relationship between the pedodontist, the orthodontist and the prosthodontist in monitoring and successfully dealing with the special cases of oral pathology represented by agenesis of the lateral incisors, with the possibility of creating space. The use of prosthetic appliances is all but mandatory in the treatment of agenesis of the upper lateral incisors.
