[Use of psychological evaluation in orthodontics].

The Authors have checked the behavioural and psychological differences between co-operate e not co-operate patients emploing three psychodiagnostic tests in diagnostic phase. While in order to appraise the standard of patient's compliance during the terapeutical phase, the Authors have planed a variable of co-operation list.

[Head posture in orthodontics: physiopathology and clinical aspects 2].

The Authors review in orthodontic respects present knowledges about head posture involvement in craniofacial morphogenesis and pathology. Relationships between craniofacial morphology, craniocervical posture, craniomandibular posture, cervical spine curvature, hyoid bone position and posture of whole body in space are shown, in attempt to explain conditions such as "forward head posture", mouth breathing and some occlusal disorders. Main methods to evaluate craniocervical relations on lateral skull radiographs are analysed. Pathogenesis of pain syndromes associated with abnormal craniocervical and craniomandibular mechanics are also briefly treated.

[Effects of the combination of magnesium fluosilicate and manganese on experimental carries in white rats].

The pattern of experimental caries was examined in rats treated with magnesium fluosilicate associated with manganese and a cariogenic diet. A 33.34% fall in the incidence of caries was observed with respect to a control series, whereas Mg fluosilicate and manganese administered alone caused 30% and 20% reductions respectively. It was also noted that a slight toxic action, expressed as a 3 g fall in body weight, was found with the Mg fluosilicate dose employed; this effect was attenuated by simultaneous administration of manganese.

[Controlled clinical trial of a new antibiotic "CM 9164" (Midecacin) in dental and stomatological practice].

The action of a new antibiotic identified as CM 9164 ("Midecamycin") and provisionally called "Midecacin", has been experimented on patients admitted for dental conditions. The research was carried out on an open basis and erythromycin was used as a comparison. After a short review of the chemicophysical properties and toxicological and pharmacological features of Midecamycin, the purpose, materials and methods of the research, which was done on two groups of patients, are presented. The results demonstrated the therapeutics usefulness of the new antibiotic as its activity is certainly on a par if not greater than that of erythromycin whether considered "historically" or from the viewpoint of the comparison group. The tolerance of the antibiotic was clinically better than that of the other substances. The doses used were much lower than those required with erythromycin. On the basis of these results, the use of Midecamycin is therefore recommended in the treatment of Gram-positive infections in the dental field.
