The sutures in dentistry

In oral surgery, the last phase of a surgical operation is represented by the tissues suture, that allows the wound lips edges approximation and their stabilization, to promote haemostasis, to avoid the alimentary residues accumulation on the incision line and allow the first intention healing. A good suture avoids that the displacing forces generated by the muscular insertions, functional movements and by the external agents destabilize or cause the surgical wound deiscence. The purpose of this study was to re-examine the suture threads characteristics, properties and biological interactions evaluating the different studies published in literature results and conclusions. In conclusion, the authors recommended the use of the different suture threads on the dependence of the oral surgery operation type that must be performed, of the patient compliance and of the various suture materials physical and biocompatibility characteristics

Potenzialità cliniche del trifoglio rosso

Vengono analizzate le caratteristiche e le peculiarità dell’uso in terapia degli isoflavoni da trifoglio rosso. In particolare sono esaminati nuovi dati sulla farmacocinetica dei metabolici attivi degli isoflavoni. L’emivita di questi, particolarmente più lunga rispetto a isoflavoni da soia, offre al trifoglio nuove applicazioni cliniche, diverse dalla mera gestione degli effetti vasomotori della menopaus

Stomatological approach to Sjogren's syndrome: diagnosis, management and therapeutical timing

Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by the exocrine glands inflammation, with subsequent hypofunction. More frequently lachrymal and salivary glands are interested with subsequent xerophthalmia and xerostomia. Sjogren's syndrome can be present in an idiopathic type or in association with other autoimmune diseases as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, schlerodermia, etc. It interests mainly the women (with a ratio F:M=9:1) with an age between 40 and 60 years old. The disease prevalence varies from 0.4% to 4.8%. The glandular lesions determine in the time a volume reduction and a secretum quality alteration. The most frequent oral manifestations are xerostomia, that allows the establishment of caries, gingivitises, periodontal disease and oral candidiasis. The aim of this work was to perform a thorough review of the literature on Sjogren's syndrome, illustrating the most internationally accredited diagnostic criteria, the patient's management and therapeutical approach in the odontostomatological discipline. The Authors conclude that it doesn't exist a resolutive treatment of the disease. The therapy is only palliative, and is turned to the treatment of xerostomia and xerophthalmia, through systemic and aspecific sialogogues drugs. From the odontostomatological point of view, particularly useful results the domiciliary and professional oral hygiene to contrast the xerostomia effect on the oral structures
