[Accessory salivary gland calculi. Apropos of a case].

Stones occur in the accessory salivary glands more often than is generally thought due to insufficient diagnosis. Certain factors commonly favour stone formation in the salivary glands in general and others are more specific for the accessory glands. Most often, the consultation is motivated by a painful submucosal nodule. The physical examination may include a probe exploration. Calcifications are found on low penetration radiography. The stone is removed after incision under local anaesthesia.

[Histopathologic lesions of the accessory salivary glands in Gougerot-Sjögren syndrome: re-evaluation of the diagnostic criteria of Chisholm and Mason and of Chometter et al].

In a retrospective study, we used a series of 29 patients with Sjögren's Syndrome diagnosed according to the new European criteria (Cl. Vitali, S. Bombardieri, H. M. Moutsopoulos et al.) (8). (Arthritis Rheum 1993; 36:340-7). A labial biopsy technique allowed to classify these patients into the anatomical "scores" formerly related by Chisholm and Mason and Chomette et al. Referring to these criteria, only 45% of patients presented a characteristic histopathological pattern. If another complementary criterium, i.e. ductal tropism of lymphoid infiltrates, was added, that percentage remained low (50% only). Thus, these results would suggest the following considerations: the classical histopathological criteria do not seem sufficiently specific; other histological criteria such as ductal lesions previously noted by Leroy et al. must in addition be looked for; thus it would seem to be of considerable value to use in the future complementary quantitative studies by means of morphometric methods.

[Bone banks: medicolegal aspects].

Heterologous bone grafting has increased considerably due to improved preservation and the development of bone banks. We analyzed the forensic aspects of organ procurement, transformation, processing and preservation specifically related to bone grafts. Topics considered included the organization of the responsible authorities and their activities in the context of ethical medical considerations. The surgeon is often faced with a complex heterogeneous situation without clear legal requirements.

[Temporomandibular ankylosis: an analysis of hospital records and a review of the recent literature].

Ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint has severe consequences due to its effect on eating, speaking, buccal hygiene and growth of the lower third of the face in children. Two therapeutic problems must be addressed: functional capacity (joint mobility) and morphological (correction of the facial deformation). The appropriate surgical techniques are still subject to debate. Each operator has a technique which gives satisfactory results. In our unit, we used two techniques with similar results. Early and prolonged rehabilitation still remains the only guarantee of success.

[Radiologic pitfalls of mandibular fractures].

Analysis of a large series of patients treated for mandibular fractures showed pitfalls in assessment of radiologic images in six cases. Factors predisposing to these radiologic pitfalls are discussed, multiple radiographic projections being suggested if discordance exists between radiologic and clinical findings, to obtain maximum data from a three dimensional picture of the mandible.

[Mandibular fractures. Our patient enrollment during the past 2 years].

The method of patient referral; the patient's physical predisposition, the localization and the treatment undertaken for the different mandibular fractures seen by SOS Face over the past two years were analyzed. The 312 mandibular fractures were used to reevaluate the commonly accepted statistics concerning these parameters.

[The maxillofacial surgeon faced with the HIV-positive patient: risks and prevention].

Prevention against the transmission of the HIV must be universal today, which means that it applies to all patients. Blood, tissues, the CSF are infected, but nasal secreta, tears and saliva are not contaminated unless they contain blood. The statistical risk of an HIV serological conversion when making an injection is an estimate of 0.1 to 0.3%, one hundred times less than with the hepatitis B virus. The best protection for maxillofacial surgeons, who are very exposed by the manipulation of objects (needle, wires) and by considerable projections of blood (rotary motor) is not a systematic HIV serological test for all patients, but goggles with side screens, a double pair of gloves and the use of an antiseptic acting on the HIV in case of staining.
