La gengivite nel bambino e nell’adolescente: una patologia spesso trascurata
No full textGingivitis is a non-specific inflammatory reaction of the marginal gingiva, which shows a high prevalence in children with a peak around puberty. Several local and systemic factors may determine the inflammatory process, and it has been shown that the dental plaque is a main determinant of gingivitis. Therefore, careful monitoring of dental plaque through daily operations and regular oral hygiene are fundamental to the prevention of gingivitis, as well as a careful evaluation by the Pediatrician in informing parents on the risks of gingivitis and to prevent the occurrence of severe and irreversible forms
Sindrome da Biberon:Caratteristiche cliniche e prevenzione
Full text linkThe bottle syndrome represents
one of most common cause
of caries in childhood. This
syndrome is usually due to
child’s dietary habits and type
of feeding. It is characterized
by premature onset involving
several dental elements at the
same time as well as by severe
lesions of the dental tissue. To
efficaciously prevent the bottle
syndrome is crucial to give a
correct information to parents.
Pediatrician plays a key role
in precocious diagnosis of
dental lesions also suggesting a
dentistry examination
Efficacia del disgiuntore rapido del palato nel trattamento dell'otite media: studio pilota con follow-up a 12 mesi

No full textAlthough spontaneous remission occurs in patients with idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (IJO), permanent bone deformities may occur. The effects of long-term pamidronate treatment on clinical findings, bone mineral status, and fracture rate were evaluated. Nine patients (age 9.8 ± 1.1 years, 7 males) with IJO were randomized to intravenous pamidronate (0.8 ± 0.1 mg/kg per day for 3 days; cycles per year 2.0 ± 0.1; duration 7.3 ± 1.1 years; n = 5) or no treatment (n = 4). Fracture rate, phalangeal quantitative ultrasound, and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at entry and during follow-up (range 6.3-9.4 years) were assessed. Bone pain improved in treated patients. Difficulty walking continued for 3-5 years in untreated patients, and vertebral collapses occurred in three of them. During follow-up, phalangeal amplitude-dependent speed of sound (AD-SoS), bone transmission time (BTT), and lumbar BMDarea and BMDvolume progressively increased in treated patients (P < 0.05-P < 0.0001). In untreated patients AD-SoS and BTT decreased during the first 2-4 years of follow-up (P < 0.05-P < 0.01); lumbar BMDarea increased after 6 years (P < 0.001) whereas BTT and lumbar BMDvolume increased after 7 years of follow-up (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively). At the end of follow-up, AD-SoS, BTT, lumbar BMDarea, and BMDvolume Z-scores were lower in untreated patients than in treated patients (-2.2 ± 0.3 and -0.5 ± 0.2; -1.9 ± 0.2 and -0.6 ± 0.2; -2.3 ± 0.3 and -0.7 ± 0.3; -2.4 ± 0.2 and -0.7 ± 0.3, P < 0.0001, respectively). Fracture rate was higher in untreated patients than in treated patients during the first 3 years of follow-up (P < 0.02). Our study showed that spontaneous recovery of bone mineral status is unsatisfactory in patients with IJO. Pamidronate treatment stimulated the onset of recovery phase reducing fracture rate and permanent disabilities without evidence of side-effects
