[Persistent fever of dental origin].

Based on 5 cases of unexplained prolonged fever, the authors stress the need to systematically look for a dental focus of infection. They discuss the difficulties in determining the site of the probable causal focus and stress the uncertain pathogenic relationship between the dental focus of infection and the fever. The extraction of infected teeth leads to a cure, however, the functional disadvantages of multiple extractions need to be carefully taken into account.

[Alveolar injuries in the upper incisor region in the child].

The authors studied a series of 50 children. They found that the sequelae can only be assessed at a late stage. The repair technique is always delicate and the damages awarded by the Courts are currently insufficient.

[Correction of the retrognathic mandible using vertical sectioning of the horizontal branches and the insertion of grafts].

Lengthening of the anterior mandibular arc using iliac bone grafts inserted between the canines and first pre-molars is the treatment of choice for certain cases of mandibular retrognathism

[Results of the evaluation of nasal respiration in maxillo-mandibular malocclusion in children. Apropos of 53 cases].

The authors measured nasal resistance in 53 children aged 5 to 13 years treated for bite disorders. Comparison of the results with a normal control group of children of the same age demonstrated that major nasal incompetence was 4 times more common in the group of children with orthodontic abnormalities. Nasal incompetence with permanent buccal respiration leads to disordered growth and modification of the morphogenesis of the naso-ethmoid-maxillary unit. Adaptation of deglutition and phonation to these new conditions produces modifications in the tension of the velo-pharyngo-facial and pharyngo-hyoglossal musculo-aponeurotic bands with a tendency to produce more vertical mandibular growth in children. The prevention of nasal incompetence in children and its treatment are important for coherent facial growth and guarantee the stability of the results of orthodontic treatment.

[Surgical treatment of temporomandibular joint syndromes].

This analysis of replies to a questionnaire raises three questions: Is surgery indicated in the treatment of this syndrome? What are the factors on which the indication for surgery should be based? If surgery is indicated what type of operation should be performed? Complications of surgery are discussed.
