[Possibilities of metallic-ceramic link optimization by electrodeposition].

To reach a good link between the metallic framework and the ceramic element of a bridge represents one of the most important aim of the clinical and technical steps of the dental treatment for partial edentulous patients. The purpose of this study was represented by the analysis of the electrodeposition method in enhancing of the metalo-ceramic link. We used an electrogalvanic bath inside which we introduced a metallic framework which has been improved by electrodeposition of a thin layer of gold. The results showed a stronger and more stable link between the metallic framework and the ceramic element.

[Proliferative mucosal lesions in elderly people].

The aim of this study consisted into the identification of the hyperplasic modifications on the oral mucosa related to the etiological factors implicated into the etiopathogenity. We surveyed 228 patients aged between 65-84 years, with partial or total edentation, with removable dentures. The diagnostic was based on a complex clinical examination and complementary tests. The clinical manifestation forms were very different, determined by local factors, especially prosthetic one. The registration of these lesions demonstrates the main role of the dentist on the prophylactic activity of registration of these lesions and reduction of the etiologic factors.

[Advancements in pharmacology of and pharmacotherapy with local anaesthetics].

The local anaesthetic domain, very often implicated in the dental practice, it's in to a continuously progress from two points of view: the development of the products proposal and the improvement of the pharmacokinetic parameters. In our study we presented: new classifications of local anaesthetics, their characteristics and structure, the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of local anaesthetics used in dental practice. An interesting remark of last years is represented by the fact that the local anaesthetics could also have an antibacterial effect which is often helpful in dental practice.

[Dento-stomato-facial rehabilitation of young patients. Practical alternatives].

The design conception and the technological achievement of every gnato-prosthetic device are conditioned by a minute evaluation of the biological and morphological individualities of each case, the social level of the patient, corroborated with the technological supply. In our study we evaluated different modalities of dento-stomato-facial rehabilitation of young patients with partially reduced maxillary or mandibular dentition. The study was carried out on a group of 12 young patients, 5 males and 7 females, aged between 16-24 years, who presented at the clinic for the treatment of complex functional disorders that occurred as a consequence of the dentition. The fixed mixed gnatoprosthetic therapy for the young patients and teenagers has to be adapted to the surveyed clinical individuality. The success of the therapy is assured by the accurate application of the gnatoprosthetic principles, the accurate achievement of the technological steps, the use of compatible biomaterials according to the dento-stomato-facial features of this age category.

[Oral modifications during menopause].

The menopause, a physiological process specific to elderly women (>50 years) is defined by various involutive phenomena occurred at general level and particularly in the stomatognatic system elements. The authors followed the influence of the oral contraceptives in changes of oral tissues during menopause. The study was carried on 148 elderly women during menopause split in two groups: group I (study group) who have used oral contraceptives in earlier years, group II (control group) without contraceptive therapy. The evaluation of the results was made using clinical exams and complementary investigations (X-ray, cytological, histopathological, mycological, salivary rate exams) and index quantification. The results showed the importance of the apparition of changes in to the oral tissues during menopause increased in comparison to the control group. Corresponding prevention strategies are the basis of oral health management in women at menopause.

[The effect of antihypertensive drugs on the anaesthetic effect of lidocaine in hypertensive patients who need dental treatment].

The study evaluated the influence of atenolol/nifedipine on the local anaesthesia with lidocaine in 64 patients with essential arterial hypertension following dietetic regimen and divided in: control group (21 patients), atenolol-treated group (21 patients with atenolol therapy) and nifedipine-treated group (22 patients with nifedipine therapy). Atenolol/nifedipine was administrated three hours before anaesthesia (1.5 mg lidocaine/kg body weight) applied on Spix Spina. The atenolol/nifedipine influence on the anaesthetic intensity was evaluated both by the patient and dentist using scales for the appreciation of pain intensity (Visual Analogue Scale, Numerical Rating Scale) at 0 minutes (before anaesthesia), 5, 10, 20, 30, 60 minutes (moments for the determination of lidocaine plasmatic concentrations). There were no statistically significant differences between the values appreciated by the patient and dentist. Our data demonstrated a significant decrease of pain intensity in patients treated with atenolol/nifedipine. Very good inverse correlation was found between lidocaine concentrations and pain intensity.
