The data collected in a sample of 531 pupils of the primary schools of Val Pellice aged between 7 and 10 have been examined. These data suggest with sufficient reliability that periodontal disease is a threat even in this age segment.
An epidemiological investigation carried out in a population of children aged between six and twelve is reported. The relationship between caries and type of filling encountered was analysed.

The Authors review the literature concerning the effective indications for extracting the third imbedded molar. Data are assessed in relation to orthodontic treatment.
The purpose of the study is to compare the survival of the patients and the drop-out for change of the method in 2 groups of patients (pts) undergoing either CAPD (41 pts) or standard hemodialysis (HD) (45 pts) as first treatment, since November 1981 to August 1988. Distribution per sex (24 males and 17 females in the CAPD group vs 32 males and 13 females in the HD group), mean age (61.3 years vs 56.7) and number of risk factors (57 vs 61) were not significantly different. The total period of observation was significantly higher (1305.8 months vs 780.3, P less than 0.01) and the results seemed to be better in the CAPD group, but the life table analysis showed no significant differences in the incidence of death (10 events vs 13) and of drop-out for change of the method (8 events vs 10) respectively in the CAPD and in the HD group. At the end of the study 51.2% of pts on CAPD and 33.3% on HD were still on first treatment; clinical problems (respectively 62.5% and 70.0%) were the most frequent cause of drop-out. The Authors conclude that CAPD in the medium-term is a valuable method of treatment of end-stage renal failure, competitive with standard HD when patient selection is not biased by a negative selection.
