Haemorheological and endothelial-dependent alterations in heart failure after ACE inhibitor, calcium antagonist and beta blocker.

The aim of our study was to evaluate endothelium-dependent dilatation induced by an ACE-inhibitor, calcium antagonist and beta blocker in patients suffering from heart failure (NYHA class II and III). We studied 34 patients (19M, 15F, mean age 76.96+/-8.

[Squamous cell epithelioma: retrospective analysis of a multidisciplinary approach with surgical treatment and periodontal treatment].

Retrospective analysis of a multidisciplinary approach between surgery treatment a periodontal treatment. In our experience the surgery treatment of the squamous cell carcinoma has been completed by periodontal treatment to eliminate the secondary consequences such as bleeding and salivating++ from the labial chyme.

[Ultrastructural aspects of root planing: scanning electron microscopy (S.E.M.)].

The basis of Periodontal treatment is represented by scaling and root planing. The aim of this study was to compare root morphology after the use of three currets: a new Hu Friedy Gracey 7/8, a semi-new Hu Friedy Gracey 7/8, a worn Hu Friedy Gracey 7/8. The research indicates that manual treatment with the new curette is effective in removing tartar but can cause excoriations on the enamel of the tooth.

[Oral respiration. Diagnosis and physiopathology].

The oral breathing can change the functional connections during the development of the facial bones of the children. All this causes an abnormal growth of the facial bones and of the dental structures. This work developed a new discipline to remove this problem.

[The crevicular fluid in diabetics before and after initial periodontal treatment].

In this study gingival crevicular fluid was used as a parameter to estimate the efficacy of initial treatment in diabetic patients. The patients with diabetes had significantly more gingival inflammation before initial treatment than after. A Periotron with Periopaper was used to measure gingival crevicular fluid.
