[The assessment of the caries risk in young adults].

Several factors for caries prediction have been proved in a one-year follow-up study on 73 patients. The white-spot lesions have proved to be a good criteria for caries prediction in this population. These lesions could be combined with the microbiological tests Dentocult SM and Oricult N or with the determination of the buffer capacity (Dentobuff), which did not much improve the prediction.

[Incidence of bone tumors in the facial skeletal area].

Facial bone tumors seen at a specialized referral unit over the course of a decade were retrospectively reviewed. Case definitions and statistical analysis were performed in accord with the criteria established by the National Bone Tumor Registry. Two-thirds of the 110 histologically confirmed bone tumors of this region occurred in female patients. The average age at onset was 39 years. Tumor-like processes predominated (56.4%). Peripheral giant cell granulomas were the most frequent lesions followed by odontogenic tumors (19%), principally odontomas. Benign bone tumors contributed 15.4%. The least frequently represented types of facial bone tumors were primary and secondary malignancies.
