Bilateral anesthesia into Spix's spine. Ten years' experience.

AIM: This study examines 10.112 cases in 10 years of bilateral block anaesthesia to Spix's spine. The aim of this study is therefore to eliminate any doubt about executing a bilateral anaesthesia to Spix's spine for the extraction, in inclusion and impacted of the inferior wisdom teeth. METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out on 10,112 operations (59% females, 41% males,) regarding the removal of the lower 3 molar teeth undertaken in the past 10 years. Locoregional anaesthesia and standard instruments and protocol were applied to all operations. The anaesthetic used was mepicavina at 2% with epinefrine 1:100,000 with a 4 x 25 mm, 27 Gauge needle. In order to completely anaesthetize the areas subject to surgery a quantity of approximately 3-ml on each side was injected. Local anaesthetics used were the same throughout the study; all the patients were in good health and not undergoing any pharmaceutical treatment. RESULTS: The onset of complications was 3 times less when using local anaesthesia (LA) compared to general anaesthesia (GA). It was also proven that local anaesthesia was advantageous, as the operation time was considerably less (24 min for LA and 46 min for GA). CONCLUSIONS: The paper shows that LA offers a significant reduction in complications, psychological advantages for the patients and facilitation of the operational position too, so that GA is to be preferred only for non-cooperative patients.

[Impacted third molars and facial typology].

BACKGROUND: The increasingly frequent removal of asymptomatic or pathology free lower third molars raises several questions. In this paper, the relationships between inclusion of impacted third molars and facial typology, in studied in order to have a further evaluation parameter for their removal. METHODS: The study was carried out an 50 cephalometric radiographs. The patients, 25 males and 25 females, have been submitted to surgical treatment at our oral Surgery Department to remove the lower impacted third molarst. RESULTS: Among patients admitted for impacted third molars removal there was a larger percentage of brachyfacial (84% of the males, 71% of the females) in comparison with normofacial (8% of the males, 19% of the females) and dolichofacial (8% of the males, 10% of the females). CONCLUSIONS: The facial type, characterised by a shortened vertical dimension of the lower third of the face and an anticlockwise mandibular growth, presents a greater risk of included wisdom teeth.

Suture in oral surgery. A comparative study.

AIM: The aim of the present paper is to continue the previous study, with 52 new additional cases, confronting in vivo the behavior of 4 different suture materials (Ethibond Excel, Monocryl, silk and Vicryl) in oral surgery. METHODS: The clinical aspects have been particularly underlined: the intraoperative easy handling, the estate of the nodes and the resistance of the thread, the plaque accumulation, the tissue response in the short term (within 3 weeks) as well as in the long term (90 days), all estimated with objective parameters. RESULTS: Fifty-two out of a total of 55 new subjects included in the program have been followed throughout all the experimentation. Of the remaining 3, 1 didn't come for the suture removal, the second had a bleeding phenomenon 2 days after surgery and he went to the emergency department where sutures were replaced. The last one refused to come back for the 90 days control. These patients have been excluded from the experimentation. Data regarding the 52 patients are: plaque index recorded on the suture (Visible Plaque Index), number and percentage of sutures lost before 7/10 days, adverse reactions observed on the surgical site (14/20 days), total plaque index, and healing level and dental-periodontal status at 90 days. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical healing at 90 days was the same for all the different threads, differently from what happened in the critical postoperative period (within the 3 weeks).
