[A comparative experimental study on the bonding resistance to horizontal traction under progressive loading between a self-polymerizing composite (Right-On) and a photopolymerizing composite (Transbond)].

The paper examines the bond resistance between the orthodontic clamp and tooth enamel using two different compounds: an autopolymerizing type (Right-On), already widely used in orthodontal practice, and a photopolymerizing type (Transbond) which has been recently introduced into the market. The bond was tested by applying horizontal traction with a progressively increasing weight. The results obtained were compared for statistical significance (Student's t test).

[The creation of a functional obturator plate by a direct method in the neonatal orthodontic treatment of cheilopalatoschisis].

The paper describes a simple direct method for the preparation of a functional filling plate in the neonatal orthopedic treatment of cleft palate harelip. This method allows the corrective plate to be realised so as to reproduce the complex deformed anatomical structure in the smallest detail, thus avoiding the major problems of acceptance, function and load distribution on the delicate neonatal mucosa.

[The prevalence of agenesis in a sample of 2954 school-age subjects in Trieste Province].

The paper reports the results of an epidemiological study on the prevalence of agenesis in school-aged population of the province of Trieste carried out in a sample group of 2954 6-, 10- and 12-year-old subjects. Fifty-one subjects appeared to the affected by single or multiple dental agenesis. The distribution of agenesis is illustrated in the tables and figures. Results are compared with other previously published compared reports.

[The incidence of malocclusion in the school population of the the Province of Trieste].

The results of an epidemiological investigation on the prevalence of malocclusions in the school population of the Province of Trieste carried out on a sample of 2099 subjects aged 10 and 12 are reported. Subjects were classified according to Angle classes. Other malocclusion parameters such as overjet, overbite, median line deviation, crossbite and upper and/or lower crowding have also been investigated.

[Significance of the "caries experience" at the age of 6].

The significance of the "caries experience" in a personal series of 215 6-year-old patients is examined on the basis of a specific method of mathematical/statistical analysis. The result is briefly compared with that obtained by other workers who have applied the same method to another series of similar dimensions.

[Clinico-statistical considerations on a sample of school-age population in the Province of Trieste. II. Period of eruption of the second molars and change of the canines and 1st and 2d permanent premolars].

The phenomena relating to the period of change of the canines and the first and second permanent premolars and of the eruption of the second permanent molar were studied in a group of 343 Trieste school children. Both deciduous and permanent teeth were examined. The results were processed on a computer, and are presented in graph form.

[The incidence of dental caries in the school population of the Province of Trieste].

The results of an epidemiological investigation on the prevalence of dental caries in the school population of the province of Trieste carried out on a sample of 2954 children aged 6, 10 and 12 years are reported. The results were evaluated using the dmf and DMF epidemiological indices suggested by the WHO. Certain "intervention indices" were also calculated.

[The transpulmonary distance in the evaluation of the pulmonary arterial pressure: roentgenographic-hemodynamic relations in mitral valve disease].

A linear correlation between transpulmonary distance and pulmonary arterial mean pressure was found in 84 patients with pure mitral valve disease. Neither the sum of the horizontal distance from the midline to the first divisions of the right and left pulmonary arteries, nor the measurement obtained dividing the transpulmonary distance by the maximum transverse diameter of the thorax significantly increase the correlation. DIP greater than 9.64 and 10.72 have 80% and 90% of chances of being associated with an abnormally high mean arterial pressure but correlate poorly with the extent of hypertension. Greater usefulness of the index might be obtained correlating it with the mean pressure measured under exercise.

[Analysis of morphological variations of the maxilla in unilateral complete cleft lip and palate after presurgical orthopedic treatment by a functional obturating plate].

BACKGROUND: The authors' aim is to show, through a morphological analysis, how the use of a passive functional plate in hard acrylic resin can guide the growth of the maxillary segments in babies born with cleft lip and palate. METHODS: The authors have obtained, with a scanner gray scales, bidimensional monochromatic images of nine babies' dental casts with cleft lip and palate at birth and at the time of the first cheilo-rhinoplastic surgery. A graphic analysis on these images was made comparing the charts drawn by Bolter's points identified on the maxillary alveolar arch. RESULTS: The overlapping of the graphic analysis of the mean of values recorded at birth and after the application of the functional passive plate in hard acrylic resin shows how it is possible to promote the growth of maxillary alveolar arch with unilateral complete cleft. CONCLUSIONS: The authors believe that the presurgical orthopedic functional treatment can lay the bases for a symmetric and balanced skeletal growth of the cleft maxillary. This treatment will promote a better future occlusal relationship. It's also pointed out how this functional approach can favour plastic surgery in reducing cleft's size.
