[Postoperative pain: comparative study of the analgesic effect of sodium naproxen and paracetamol].

Pain after extraction of two antagonistic third molars was chosen to compare the analgesic effects of single doses of naproxen-sodium (825 mg) and paracetamol (1 000 mg). 124 patients of both sexes, aged from 14 to 41 years, took part in the trial which was of the double blind double dummy type with randomization into one or the other treatment. In all, 89 patients were acceptable for inclusion and followed the protocol correctly. The two treatment groups were statistically matched with regard to age, diagnosis, time of surgery and post-operative drug taking. The results were assessed by the patients on individual report-cards and by the clinician on the control visit. The analgesic effect began at the same time with naproxen-sodium and paracetamol but lasted longer (over 12 hours) with naproxen-sodium. During the 12-hour observation period, 43% of patients on naproxen-sodium refrained from taking an escape drug, as against 23% of patients on paracetamol, the difference being significant (alpha = 5%). Complete pain relief was obtained in 41% of patients under naproxen-sodium and in only 18% of patients under paracetamol. Two side-effects were noted in the paracetamol group and none in the naproxen-sodium group. In this particular pain model, the analgesic activity of naproxen-sodium proved statistically stronger and more durable than that of paracetamol.

[Untimely extraction in mandibular sarcoma. Apropos of 2 cases].

Two patients with chondrosarcoma and fibrosarcoma of the mandible respectively were seen after abusive extraction of first molars from the tumoral regions. It is essential to recognize presenting signs of mandibular tumors since dental extractions are contraindicated in these cases. These untimely procedures increase the delay between the onset of the first clinical signs, the diagnosis, and the start of therapy, and thus make for a poorer prognosis.

[An orthodontic pitfall: the upper wisdom teeth].

The authors describe an orthodontic pitfall which has been more frequently observed during the last few years. They analyse the reasons for this increase and give their point of view about this practical problem. They propose solutions based on a wide experience in the hospital. The value of this article is increased by the essential iconography.

[Case of a rare maxillary tumor: osteocementofibroma].

A 17-year-old young girl presented with a rare maxillary tumor, an osteocementoblastoma, which from the ectopic type of position of the wisdom tooth had apparently been present for many years pathologic findings are reported. Post-operative course was normal but regular follow-up is necessary because of the tendency for recurrence of the few cases reported in the literature of this benign tumor.

[Anatomicoclinical types of mandibular fractures in children (author's transl)].

The author describes the particular type of fragility zones found in children's mandibles, which vary during growth, and discusses the anatomicoclinical types of fractures observed from the earliest age (symphysial disjunctions) until the end of mixed dentition. Emphasis is placed on one particular type, described in a previous communication: the paramedian form, which can be explained by the atomical position of certain dental germs, as well as the importance of reconstitution of the periosteum in displaced sub-condylar fractures.
