[Water absorption and resistance to wear of 2 newly invented composite resins].

Two recently built composites, one for posterior teeth, and the other for general employ, were evaluated in relation to their water absorption and resistance to wear by means of the "scratch test". Critical loads and attrition of the two materials were also evaluated, with statistical analysis. The results supported the good qualities of the two composites, which are to be considered very advanced in the field of esthetic reconstruction materials.

Another Italian family with mandibuloacral dysplasia: why does it seem more frequent in Italy?

We describe three patients (one female and two males in a sibship of 11) with mandibuloacral dysplasia. Only eight families have been reported previously, and of these, four were of Italian origin. The phenotypic spectrum of the condition is delineated and its variability is stressed. The observation of three affected members of both sexes with normal parents supports the hypothesis of autosomal recessive inheritance. The reasons for the high frequency of the condition in Italy are discussed; a local selective advantage for heterozygotes and founder effect might be involved.

[Progression of DMF index--DMF from 3 to 12 years: need for preventive intervention].

To evaluate the prevalence of soft deposits and the trend of dmf/DMF index, a group of children between 3 and 12 years of age has been examined. A DMF Index of 5.74 at 12 proves the need to promote educational and prevention programmes in the Ulss 34 area since the WHO program "Health for all in the year 2000" sets a target of a DMF Index below 3 at 12.

[Epidemiological study of the prevalence of caries, periodontal diseases and malocclusion in a school population].

A randomized stratified sample of children 3 to 12 years of age has been examined, DMFT, CPITN, soft deposits and malocclusion have been analyzed. The prevalence of caries, periodontal involvement and malocclusion has been observed to be rather high, thus requiring the organizing of detailed preventive programs to reach the W H O target set for the year 2000.
