The Author reports a case of chronic closed lock of TMJ treated by inferior repositioning appliance. In management of internal derangement is useful to perform a diagnostic follow up using tomographic images of TMJs before and during treatment. In this way you can drive the splint therapy and set a new position of the mandible up in the better way.
New molecular research has provided strong evidence for different forms of the fragile X mutation. These findings suggest the need to develop a more standardized and sensitive method for determining neurobehavioral effects of the fragile X gene(s), particularly for molecular studies of patients who do not have obvious mental retardation. This report describes a brief screening questionnaire designed to increase the detection of neurobehavioral dysfunction in individuals from fragile X families who are included in new molecular studies. Improved detection of the affected state in fragile X syndrome will allow more valid clinical data to be correlated with the important molecular information currently being collected.
A new orthodontic device is proposed by the author: an alloy layer welded to first upper bicuspids bands. It's a matter of an an activator-like device being no obstructing for tongue, cheeks and lips. To alter vertical dimension in oral cavity, it is not difficult to use the last generation of bonding agents.
