Long term effects of the palatal plate therapy for the orofacial regulation in children with Down syndrome.

The objective of this study was to evaluate long term effects of orofacial regulation therapy with modified Castillo-Morales palatal plate on 68 Down children that attended our Unit from 1992 to 2001. Corrections obtained with palatal plate therapy were evaluated according to the following parameters: spontaneous lingual protrusion based on three level scale, position "open mouth", labial hypotonia and sialorrhea. The results showed distinct improvement in nearly all of the parameters compared to initial conditions.

[Primary Ewing's sarcoma of the mandible. A clinico-pathological and immunohistochemical case study].

A rare case of Ewing's sarcoma, originating in the mandible, is reported. The symptomatologic and radiological aspects is often aspecific. For this reason the diagnostic-therapeutic routine is presented and the difficulty of clinical diagnosis is accentuated. In these cases it may be appropriate to make use of immunohistochemical analysis such as the research of markers like the NSE (Neuro-Specific Enolase). This will be useful to reach an accurate preoperative diagnosis and in order to adopt a correct therapeutic protocol.

[Dental pathology in malformation syndromes: the methodology and intervention timing].

Due to the complexity and potential vulnerability of the cranio-facial area (skull, face, nose, oral cavity), specific alterations of this region are associated to genetic and acquired malformations in a high percentage of cases (75%). Often, the specificity and extent of the pathological symptoms occurring in the cranio-facial area are the dominant aspects of the malformation syndrome according to which it is classified. When multiple development anomalies in a newborn suggest the existence of a syndrome, the patient should be placed in the care of a pediatrician, who, together with a team of specialists, will follow the child and face the various problems related to the syndrome at the right time. The frequent marked involvement of the craniofacial area in malformation syndromes suggests the opportunity of a specialist methodology to standardize odontostomatological therapy.
