[The relationship between lichen ruber planus orale, hepatopathies and hypersensitivity to the components of dental restorations].

A group of patients with lichen planus, a pathology affecting the cutis and mucosa which may affect the oral cavity, were studied. All patients underwent laboratory tests to assess hepatic function. Prick tests, using a series of haptens found in materials used in dental reconstruction work, were also performed in 53 patients who possessed dental prostheses. The statistically significant correlation between lichen planus, especially in its erosive form, and hepatic damage is underlined. However, the correlation between sensitivity to the haptens contained in materials for dental reconstruction work and lichen planus was not significant.

[Radiologic risk and INAIL insurance].

The Authors examine in this scientific work the radiological risk to which the dentist is exposed during his daily professional activity. They underline, moreover, the partial interpretation of the regulation in force by INAIL and ANPEQ that bind the dentist to a series of accomplishments that seem unjustified as regards the laws in force.

[Desquamative gingivitis: etiopathogenetic and clinical assessment].

The aetiopathogenetic, diagnostic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of a particular form of gingival condition given various names in the past but presently defined as "chronic desquamative gingivitis" have been examined. Desquamative gingivitis is an uncommon clinical condition whose aetiology remains uncertain. It has therefore not yet been definitely established wether it is a specific entity or whether, as is confirmed by much clinical evidence and laboratory data, it is merely an oral clinical sign of dermatological type pathologies (pemphigus vulgaris, benign mucosal pemphigoid, bullous pemphigoid, erosive lichen ruber planus, psoriasis).

[Periodontal diagnosis. Review of the literature].

The possible ways of diagnosis periodontal disease are examined in the light of what is reported in the literature. Particular stress is laid on the importance of the diagnosis of diseases "activity", a condition that is indispensable for the implementation of correct periodontal therapy.

[Hyperthrophic-hyperplastic gingival diseases. Etiopathogenic, clinical assessment and diagnostic guide].

The clinical and histological aspects of hypertrophic and hyperplastic gum diseases were examined in order to clarify the aetiopathogenesis of such conditions and facilitate their diagnosis. The latter is far from simple, given the variety of pathological pictures expressing a large number of conditions that present macroscopic similarities despite their different aetiopathogenesis.

[Alloplastic grafts in the treatment of infrabone lesions].

The possible treatment of periodontal infrabone defects is examined in the light of current developments. The possibility of using alloplastic grafts to create new periodontal structures is discussed in particular detail.

[Oral lichen planus and chronic hepatopathy. Clinico-statistical study].

Recent researches on the aetiopathogenesis of lichen planus have revealed a significant physiopathological and clinical association of this disease with the chronic hepatopathies. A clinico-statistical investigation has been carried out for the purpose of ascertaining the real importance of oral LP in the economy of this association. The results substantially demonstrated that oral LP, particularly the erosive variety, rather than cutaneous or cutaneous-mucosa clinical forms, occupies a central role in relation to association with the chronic hepatopathies (an important factor for diagnosis and predictive purposes). It has also been found that the erosive variety presents a significantly higher frequency in forms of LP with an exclusively oral involvement. Hence the need to propose an interdisciplinary type clinico-diagnostic approach to LP patients, particularly those with erosive type oral LP.

Treatment of pediculosis pubis. Clinical comparison of efficacy and tolerance of 1% lindane shampoo vs 1% permethrin creme rinse.

Pediculosis pubis (PP) is a common sexually transmitted disease. Current therapy with 1% lindane or various synergized pyrethrins as a single dose has been accepted as adequate by the medical community. We treated 53 men with the diagnosis of PP with either 1% lindane (Kwell) shampoo for four minutes or 1% permethrin (Nix) creme rinse for ten minutes, according to random assignment. All patients combed with fine-toothed combs immediately after therapy. They were examined for tolerance and efficacy at 24 to 48 hours and again at ten days (eight- to 12-day range). In the lindane group, ten (40%) of 25 subjects were infested at the final assessment. In the permethrin group, 12 (43%) of 28 subjects were infested at the final assessment. The difference was not statistically significant. Both treatments were well tolerated, with one mild adverse reaction in each group. We concluded that both agents were equivalent in the treatment of PP. On the basis of the high failure rate, we propose that the therapy of PP with any agent should include a second treatment at ten days.
