[The coronoid-maxillary space in denture retention].

The coronoid-maxillary space defines the distal maxillary rims, and it is usually tightened during mouth opening. It has been reported that its adequate filling or its overfilling is helpful in prosthesis retention. There are two types of individual anatomical variations, that can affect the size of this space. In fact, the coronoid process can be vertical or lateral. In the first case, the coronoid-maxillary space is reduced in oral opening, therefore the prosthesis edge must be thin. In the latter case, the space increases or does not vary during mouth opening, therefore the prosthesis must be thicker in order to obtain its adequate retention.

[TMJ and radiographic methods. Comparative analysis].

The Authors take into consideration the complex and troublesome subject of instrumental radiological analysis applicable as a diagnostic aid in TMJ pathology. They therefore analyse, starting from their own experiences and after revising the pertaining literature, the pros and cons of the several radiological methodologies, both traditional and recently discovered as CAT and nuclear magnetic resonance. They do not only underline the possibilities and limits of the above mentioned methodologies, but ever define precisely how instrumental diagnostic techniques cannot, individually or variously combined, provide a complete diagnostic and aetiological view of the pathologies of TMJ without clinic information.

[Presentation of a case of severe abdominal infection caused by anaerobic bacteria].

The problem of surgical infections is discussed, special attention being paid to the commonest bacterial agents, particularly those extremely serious forms induced by gram negative and anaerobic microorganisms. After an introduction regarding isolation methods and respective therapeutic programmes, attention is turned to the case of a young woman observed after an operation for perforated appendicular abscess later complicated by stercoraceous peritonitis. After initial antibiotic treatment, which was without effect, an association comprising Clindamycin, penicillin and gentamycin was employed. In just a few days this led complete remission of symptoms.
