AMCOP® ELASTODONTIC DEVICES IN ORTHODONTICS: A LITERATURE REVIEW
No full textThis study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current literature on AMCOP® elastodontic devices, focusing on their applications, advantages, and limitations in contemporary orthodontic practice. A literature review was conducted using databases such as PubMed and Scopus, covering studies published from 2010 to 2023. Search terms included "elastodontics," "AMCOP® devices," and "orthodontic elastomers". Inclusion criteria were studies focusing on the clinical application of AMCOP® devices, articles discussing the biomechanical principles of elastodontics, and reviews and clinical trials evaluating the effectiveness of elastodontic treatment. The review identified five relevant studies. These studies focused on therapies with AMCOP® devices for treating various malocclusions, including Class II and III discrepancies, open bites, and crossbites. Notable findings included overjet, overbite, crowding, and palatal symmetry improvements. Additionally, AMCOP® devices contributed to correcting hyperdivergent Class II malocclusion and enhanced upper airway space. AMCOP® elastodontic devices represent a significant advancement in orthodontics, offering a less invasive, patient-friendly alternative to traditional devices. Their use of elastic materials provides continuous, gentle forces that align with physiological tooth movement, enhancing patient comfort and compliance. However, further research, including long-term clinical trials, is essential to establish their efficacy and explore new clinical applications fully.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma affecting the tongue: Unusual intra-oral location
No full textIntroduction. The expression non Hodgkin lymphoma is used to cover a wide group of lymphoid neoplasias unrelated to Hodgkin's disease, due to the huge histological variety and the tendency to affect organs and tissues that does not physiologically contain lymphoid cells. The intraoral location is not frequent (3 - 5 percent of cases) and the initial manifestations of the disease rarely take place here. Case presentation. We describe the case of a 73 years old Italian caucasian male who came to our attention with a tongue lesion. The clinical manifestation was macroglossia and bleeding, probably deriving from the tongue-bite injuries. The patient had been complaining of dyspnea for 48 hours. Conclusion. A tongue affected by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma rarely occurs. In spite of this, this possibility should always be considered for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions affecting such area. A rapid diagnostic assessment, together with an adequate histopathologic verification, are indeed essential to improve the management and the prognosis of this disease. © 2011 Inchingolo et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd
Simple technique for augmentation of the facial soft tissue
No full textDue to the request of numerous patients to improve the aspect of the perioral area in combination with other types of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, we started to use autologous fillers. In fact, there are numerous potential fillers that can be utilized during various operations executed in many bodily areas, such as the breast, abdomen, and face. The muscular fascia as well as the dense connective tissue which the surgeon encounters in various bodily areas during some stages of the operation, in fact, can be removed and replaced both by themselves or superimposed in order to increase their thickness. The insertion of the grafts is carried out by using a needle, but other methods can also be used with the same success. The consistency of the area treated, after a few days of edema, is very similar to the host area, and the volume obtained remains uniform in time (our followup is after 24 months). The time utilized for the removal and the insertion in the chosen area was only a few minutes. The result was extremely satisfactory in all the 30 patients treated, and there was no complication or side effects. © 2012 Francesco Inchingolo et al

A technical note for the use of small-diameter cannula for lipoaspiration technique in aesthetic reconstructive post-oncological surgery
No full textSkin cancer basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a quite common lesion with a worldwide annual incidence between 3% and 8%. Tissue reconstruction should be biologically driven: nowadays, the naso-genial flap is one of the safest and usable flaps for the reconstruction of the labial and nasal region after invasive surgery aimed at a full BCC excision. In fact, the proximity of this flap to the area to be treated, the similar colour of the skin and the technical possibility to perform a single surgery to both harvest the flap and remove the lesion in the area to be then reconstructed, make it highly preferred by surgeons. In order to prevent the most severe swelling, the Authors started to use a novel method consisting in the use of the small-diameter cannula for lipoaspiration technique (SDCL). The correct use of SDCL allows to aspirate the adipose tissue, thus obtaining an available adipose-based scaffold, highly compatible with the area in which the flap is to be placed
