[Oral mucosa reaction in patients adapting to removable dentures].

Oral mucosa reaction of prosthetic bed to the removable acrylic dentures was evaluated in 43 patients (12 male and 31 female) aged 56-69 years with partial and full teeth loss in one or both jaws. Patients of the first (control) group (17 patients) were not using additional tools improving fixation of the removable dentures during adaptation period, while patients of the second (main) group (26 patients) used Corega cream for dentures fixation for 30 days follow-up. Oral mucosa assessment was carried out on 3-4 and 28-30 day of dentures use by 3 end points: pain syndrome, moisture level, inflammation of a prosthetic bed.

[Some clinical-laboratory indices in children with dental dysplasia of permanent teeth].

The authors studied some serum indices of protein and electrolyte metabolism (total protein, protein fraction, serum calcium, ionized calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, osmolality, Ca/P ratio) in 26 clinically healthy children, aged fro 7 to 10, with clinically diagnosed dysplasia (hypoplasia or hypomineralization) of the permanent teeth. The mean values of the single biochemical parameters for both groups of children remain within referent limits of the respective indices for childhood, and their comparison established no statistically significant differences (p greater than 0.05).
