[The role of LGL cells (NK and K) in periodontal disease].

The paper reports the morphological and functional aspects of NK and K cells in the light of the most recent advances in the field, and pays particular attention to their cytotoxic and suppressor capacities. The role of NK and K cells in periodontal disease is then described and it is observed how this cell population is absent in healthy gums, whereas it is found with increasing frequency at disease reaches the chronic stage. The presence of LGL cells is therefore thought to be associated with the development of plaque-induced inflammation.

[Radiologic risk and INAIL insurance].

The Authors examine in this scientific work the radiological risk to which the dentist is exposed during his daily professional activity. They underline, moreover, the partial interpretation of the regulation in force by INAIL and ANPEQ that bind the dentist to a series of accomplishments that seem unjustified as regards the laws in force.

[Environmental pathology and dentistry. III. Carcinogenic process of the soft tissues of the oral cavity].

The context in which a relationship between environmental pathologies and dentistry is most easily distinguished is with reference to the carcinogenic processes of soft tissues in the oral cavity. In this study, a distinction is made between potentially cancerous lesions and true carcinomas, and the relationship between tumour pathology of the oral cavity and the surrounding environment is analysed. Clinical aspects are also illustrated.

Environmental Exposure↗

[Periodontal diagnosis. Review of the literature].

The possible ways of diagnosis periodontal disease are examined in the light of what is reported in the literature. Particular stress is laid on the importance of the diagnosis of diseases "activity", a condition that is indispensable for the implementation of correct periodontal therapy.

[Alloplastic grafts in the treatment of infrabone lesions].

The possible treatment of periodontal infrabone defects is examined in the light of current developments. The possibility of using alloplastic grafts to create new periodontal structures is discussed in particular detail.

[Oral lichen planus and chronic hepatopathy. Clinico-statistical study].

Recent researches on the aetiopathogenesis of lichen planus have revealed a significant physiopathological and clinical association of this disease with the chronic hepatopathies. A clinico-statistical investigation has been carried out for the purpose of ascertaining the real importance of oral LP in the economy of this association. The results substantially demonstrated that oral LP, particularly the erosive variety, rather than cutaneous or cutaneous-mucosa clinical forms, occupies a central role in relation to association with the chronic hepatopathies (an important factor for diagnosis and predictive purposes). It has also been found that the erosive variety presents a significantly higher frequency in forms of LP with an exclusively oral involvement. Hence the need to propose an interdisciplinary type clinico-diagnostic approach to LP patients, particularly those with erosive type oral LP.

Chronic Disease↗

[The free subepithelial connective tissue graft].

After a description of advantages and disadvantages of traditional surgical techniques for the correction of gingival retractions, a new surgical techniques is indicated: the subepithelial connective tissue graft. The latter technique is assessed and described in detail and its relative efficacy in comparison with the traditional techniques is emphasized.
