[Epidemiological studies of malocclusion in the school population of a mountain district].

Authors report the prevalence of malocclusions in 2227 school children of a mountain district. The frequency of this pathology is very high especially in the first and third class of Angle's classification. The prevalence in this sample results also statistically higher than in a sample of school children of the plane in the province of Pavia, particularly in six years old children and in the Angle's classes we have mentioned. Authors remember the importance that preventing medicine, through sanitary education, can play in the pathology depending on personal behaviours.

[Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microanalysis (EDS) applied to the study of biomaterials for dental use. 6].

The study considers the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and EDS microanalysis applied to the study of numerous mineral-based biomaterials of common use in odontostomatology. The products studied are the following: reabsorbable Dac Blu, non reabsorbable Dac Blu, non reabsorbable atomized Dac Blu, non rabsorbable fine Dac Blu, reabsorbable Biocoral 450, Calcitite 2040-12, Orthogel, Apagen, BTF 65, Calcitite 4060-2, Osprogel, Bio-Oss, Biostite, Ospro-vit, Merck Hydroxyapatite. By means of SEM it was possible to study the morphology and the microchemistry of the various biomaterials so as to have information about their physical and chemical characteristics, such as the crystalline form, the crystalline aggregations, the space dimensional distribution of the pores and check the possibilities of composition variability. All of these factors are fundamental to evaluate the functional biocompatibility of a biomaterial, once that its performance in a biological environment is known.
