[Efficacy of and tolerance to topical ketoprofen lysinate solution in acute inflammation of the mouth in orthodontic therapy. Randomized single blind study, with parallel groups, versus benzidamine hydrochloride].

BACKGROUND: The study was carried out to value the analgesic efficacy of ketoprofen lysinate solution administered by oral route. Ketoprofen lysinate solution is an efficacious topical drug for pain relief and control of inflammation agents. METHODS: The study was carried out in 120 patients submitted to orthodotic therapy by oral route, under single blind conditions at the "San Raffaele" Hospital in Milan. The 120 patients who underwent orthodonthic therapy were males and females, from 18 to 40 years old. One group was treated with ketoprofen lysinate solution at the doses of 160 mg in 100 ml (60 patients), the other group with benzidamine hydrochloride 15 ml (60 patients), twice a day for seven days. Pain relief and control of inflammation agents have been evaluated. RESULTS: The study showed ketoprofen lysinate solution to be very effective for pain relief and control of inflammation agents. In fact, on the basis of the visual analogue scale of Scott-Huskisson and of the patient's judgement, ketoprofen proved significantly better than benzidamine. CONCLUSIONS: The analgesic efficacy of ketoprofen lysinate solution administered by oral route was prompt and long lasting than benzidamine. Both treatments were very well tolerated.

[Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis: the role of the TMJ and stomatognathic system].

Juvenile chronic arthritis (j.c.a) often affects the maxillo-facial complex over all in relation to jaw and temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ). In this work 35 j.c.a. patients (aged 6 to 16 years) have been selected and studied in order to detect functional and morphostructural involvement of stomatognathic apparatus and TMJ. The involvement of these structures is appeared significantly increased during j.c.a. also in patients without clinic symptoms referable to a stomatognathic apparatus pathology. Therefore an early diagnosis as well as a preventive orthognatodontic treatment are necessary to reduce long term effects on the stomatognathic apparatus multifunctions.

[Orthopantomography and auxological diagnosis].

The results of a research about dental age assessment and its relationships with skeletal age are presented. Using a method based on eight stages of tooth formation, as visualized on panoramic radiography, a sample of 327 patients between 3 and 13 and 1/2 was investigated. Data were analyzed splitting into sex and skeletal Class groups and following the steps: 1) description: by charts and percentages; 2) analysis: by contingency tables and independence statistical tests; 3) synthesis of association: by a proper index.
