[The importance of the transfer factor test in the diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema].

Physical examination, X-ray and lung function studies were performed in a group of 29 patients with chronic obstructive lung diseases. According to the diffusing capacity, patients were divided into two subgroups: one with normal and the other with decreased lung transfer-factor. Comparing the parameters of pulmonary function significantly more severe obstructive ventilatory insufficiency and greater lung hyperinflation were found in the subgroup of patients with decreased diffusing capacity. In this subgroup the collapsing type of flow-volume loop and X-ray signs of emphysema were present more frequently than in patients with normal lung diffusing capacity.

Prosthetic reconstruction of facial defects.

A seven-year experience in prosthetic reconstruction of facial defects is presented. Surgical-prosthetic treatment was performed in 25 patients. Facial defect associated with organ loss of the midface was found in 4 (16%) patients. Isolated facial or midfacial organ defects were found in 21 (84%) patients, and dominant eye loss in 11 (44%) patients. All patients were managed by facial prostheses made of rigid acrylate and soft silicon. To obtain retention and stability of facial prostheses, eye glasses were most frequently used in 32% patients, and modern methods of retention with implants in 26%. The use of implants improved prosthetic reconstruction in terms of stability and retention.

Implants in management of gunshot injuries of teeth, facial bones and jaws.

The use of implants in management of gunshot injuries of teeth, face and jaws presents novelty that is manifested in primary surgical treatment, reduction and fixation of bone fragments and teeth, replacement of lost parts of bone tissues as well as preparation for definitive prosthetic management. At the Clinic for Maxillofacial Surgery of the MMA 173 implants of different types and purposes have been placed in the period 1991-1997, in rehabilitation of the patients injured during the civil war. Although this number of placed implants is significant, the conclusive estimate about benefit of using implants may be obtained only after a longer period of time. Early results are satisfactory.

Two-component transdental implants.

Transdental implantation is a procedure of tooth stabilization in maxillary and/or mandibular bone. Indications for use of these implants are root fractures, chronic periapical inflammations and periodontal disease. Transdental implants have been used in the Clinic for Maxillofacial Surgery since 1977. In the period of 20 years of treatment 490 two-component transdental implants have been inserted and failure rate was 9% (43). Considering our experience and that of other authors we can conclude that with proper indications and sophisticated surgical technique the use of this type of implants has favorable survival rate.
