The familiar diuretic spironolactone has taken on new life as a treatment for left-sided congestive heart failure. Spironolactone has been shown to decrease mortality in such patients who are New York Heart Association class IV. It can be used in addition to agents such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and beta blockers, which also decrease mortality, and diuretics and digoxin, which are useful in treating symptoms. Spironolactone is safe, easy to use and reasonably priced. More research is necessary to determine the order and combinations of these medications in slowing the progression of this disease.

The contemporary uses of removable appliances are considerably more limited than in the past. This article discusses possible reasons for their declining use, including recognition of their limitations. It is possible to achieve adequate occlusal improvement with these appliances providing that suitable cases are chosen. Specific indications for their appropriate use on their own in the mixed dentition are presented. Removables can also be used as an adjunct to more complex treatments, to enhance the effect of fixed appliances, headgear or in preparation for functional appliances. Further research is required to confirm whether their use in conjunction with more complex treatments enhances the quality and efficiency of treatment or not.
