[Surgical experience of complex fractures of the middle third of the facial skeleton treated without an intermaxillary block].

Having illustrated the functional and anatomical aspects of the upper jaw and the importance of the anterior and posterior pillars as load-bearing structures for the middle third of face, the paper reports a series of fractures of the upper jaw treated with plaque osteosynthesis without an intermaxillary block. The functional and esthetic advantages are underlined.

[Glossopharyngeal neuralgia].

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia, such less common than trigeminal neuralgia, is characterized by paroxysm of unilateral pain with sudden onset radiating from the oropharynx and base of the tongue, to the ear. Often precipitated by swallowing the glossopharyngeal neuralgia is occasionally accompanied by bradycardia or syncope. Conservative treatment consists of anticonvulsant drugs. Surgical treatment consists of section of the rootlets of the ninth and, in part, tenth cranial nerves. In some selected patients microvascular decompression without section of rootlets is also been made.

Primary intraosseous verrucous carcinoma developing from a maxillary odontogenic cyst: case report.

Primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) is an extremely rare lesion, almost always occurring in cranial bones. The origin of this tumor, specific to the maxillae, is associated with the cells of the epithelial rests of Malassez. Among the histotypes which can be included in these neoplasms, verrucous carcinoma is of particular interest due to its rarity: only a single case has been reported to date. After a short survey of the literature, the authors describe a directly observed case of verrucous carcinoma arising from a maxillary odontogenic cyst.

[Condylar osteosynthesis after Krenkel's technic. The authors' personal experience].

The paper illustrates the authors' use of surgery to treat condylar fractures using Krenkel's technique which entails a cutaneous incision under the mandibular corner and the application of a clip screw in relation to the longitudinal axis of the upright branch of the jaw. This surgical technique, which is above all indicated in cases of low subcondylar fractures, provides a rigid internal fixation of the fracture stumps, thus preventing intermaxillary lock. Several stages in the operation are described in dental and the intrinsic advantages of this method are then outlined together with the results obtained.

[The lymphocytogram in recurrent aphthous stomatitis. The etiopathogenic aspects].

The paper studies the distribution of circulating lymphocytic phenotypes in 20 cases of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. The statistical analysis of data, together with that found in 40 normal subjects, reveals the selective immunoactivation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and NK cells similar to that found during the course of acute viral diseases. In etiopathogenetic terms, results should therefore be considered as a possible demonstration of the viropathic genesis of this disease.

[The problem of the mandible in surgery of tonsillar tumors: proposal of a technique].

The Authors report a technique of a conservative transmandibular approach for the surgical treatment of tonsillar region malignancies. The procedure is based upon the preparation of a vascular mandibular flap through two osteotomies, which are performed, the first above the mandibular foramen and the second below the mental foramen. The main advantages of present technique are: lip-chin-splitting is avoided and, due to the preservation of mandibular vascular and nervous supply, it is possible to accomplish, without risk, postoperative radiotherapy. Moreover, if dictated by oncologic reasons, this conservative procedure may easily be transformed into a radical surgery (commando or neck-jaw operation).

[The use of misoprostol in prevention of gastric disease from nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in oral-maxillofacial surgery].

The results of a clinical experiment with a new synthetic prostaglandin for the prevention of gastric lesions induced by NSAID: the misoprostol have reported. Twenty patients were treated with this drug and the results were compared to those obtained with the use of ranitidine in the same number of patients. The clinical experiment showed an excellent misoprostol-induced gastric protection which compared to ranitidine presents the advantage of a multiple and pathogenetically oriented action mechanism.
