    La polpa dentale risulta esposta a sollecitazioni di vario tipo e di vario grado sia nel corso della vita di relazione, sia soprattutto durante varie attività specialistiche odontoiatriche. Nel presente contributo viene presentata una ampia rivista della letteratura su: fisiologia, fisiopatologia e patologia del tessuto pulpare a seguito di stimolo; natura e forza degli stimoli che possono pervenire alla polpa (termici, elettrici, chimici, iatrogeni); materiali intermedi che interposti tra ricostruzione e tessuto dentinale possono annullare o diminuire l'intensità degli stimoli (lacche, vernici, liners, sottofondi a base di ossido di zinco eugenolo, ZOE rinforzati, ossifosfati di zinco, policarbossilati, cementi vetroionomeri). Vengono inoltre presentate tutte quelle attività preventive del danno che può svilupparsi a seguito della preparazione cavitaria o delle manovre di rifinitura e lucidatura degli amalgami. Una sezione del lavoro è particolarmente dedicata alle caratteristiche termiche dei tessuti duri dentali al fine di comprendere quanto questi possano fungere da isolanti o dissipatori del calore proveniente dall'esterno. Particolare enfasi è infine attuata nei confronti dell'efficacia del raffreddamento spray aria-acqua dipunte e frese montate su turbine e micromotori, maggiore causa di danno iatrogenico

    Johann Baptist Spix and the “Lingula Mandibularis"

    J.B. Ritter von Spix (1781-1826), a German zoologist, was famous in his time and highly honoured after making one of the first exploration voyages in the wildest part of Brazil. But he was almost forgotten until, nearly two centuries after his birth, some illuminated biographers brought him to a new life in the biological and zoological field. However he has never been forgotten in the odontostomatologic field thanks to his discovery of the “Lingula Mandibularis” also known as “Spine of Spix”. The purposes of this work are to present some biographical notes on J.B. Ritter von Spix, to explain why the “ Lingula Mandibularis” has been called by the name of Spix and why this eponym has spread so much

    Major surgical societies advised using non-operative management of appendicitis and suggested against laparoscopy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The hypothesis is that a signifcant reduction in the number of emergent appendectomies was observed during the pandemic, restricted to complex cases. The study aimed to analyse emergent surgical appendectomies during pandemic on a national basis and compare it to the same period of the previous year. This is a multicentre, retrospective, observational study investigating the outcomes of patients undergoing emergent appendectomy in March–April 2019 vs March–April 2020. The primary outcome was the number of appendectomies performed, classifed according to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) score. Secondary outcomes were the type of surgical technique employed (laparoscopic vs open) and the complication rates. One thousand fve hundred forty one patients with acute appendicitis underwent surgery during the two study periods. 1337 (86.8%) patients met the inclusion criteria: 546 (40.8%) patients underwent surgery for acute appendicitis in 2020 and 791 (59.2%) in 2019. According to AAST, patients with complicated appendicitis operated in 2019 were 30.3% vs 39.9% in 2020 (p=0.001). We observed an increase in the number of post-operative complications in 2020 (15.9%) compared to 2019 (9.6%) (p<0.001). The following determinants increased the likelihood of complication occurrence: undergoing surgery during 2020 (+67%), the increase of a unit in the AAST score (+26%), surgery performed>24 h after admission (+58%), open surgery (+112%) and conversion to open surgery (+166%). In Italian hospitals, in March and April 2020, the number of appendectomies has drastically dropped. During the frst pandemic wave, patients undergoing surgery were more frequently afected by more severe appendicitis than the previous year’s timeframe and experienced a higher number of complications.
