[Hemolytic group B streptococcus in cervico-vaginal secretions].

The group B streptococcus can be an etiological agent of newborn's infections and vaginitis. Therefore, we evaluated the statistical incidence of this microorganism in vaginal swabs of 1403 non-selected subjects. We isolated this streptococcus in 12.3% samples and it was present in 26.3% of positive cultures. Our study confirms the elevate incidence of this microorganism and suggests the opportunity of this research in pregnancy monitoring and in gynaecological flogosis.

[Periodontal osseous surgery: osteoplasty and osteotomy].

Elimination of the periodontal pocket is a prime objective of periodontal therapy. Normally the gingiva is consistent with the underlying bone, and aberration in gingival form can be corrected by gingivectomy or gingivoplasty if the gingiva is supported by good bony architecture. If periodontitis has caused marginal irregularities or septal deformities the complete elimination of the periodontal pocket is done by osteoplasty or osteoectomy. The Authors through a review of the literature have examined these surgical techniques.
