Background: Erythrasma is caused by Corinebacterium minutissimum producing a porphyrin that with Wood's light emits a coral-red fluorescence. It is the most common bacterial infection of the feet. Ozonated olive oil decreases the cytoplasm and damages bacterial proteins and lipids. Treatment is with oral erythromycin and there is no consensus regarding the topical therapy of choice. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of ozonated olive oil in a pilot trial for Erythrasma.
Methods: Experimental, open, observational, descriptive, longitudinal clinical trial at the section of Mycology, of the General Hospital "Dr. Manuel Gea González".
Patients: 10 individuals with interdigital feet Erythrasma.
Intervention: ozonated olive oil every 12 hours for 10 days was given.
Results: All patients had disappearance of coral-red fluorescence, erythema, fissures, pruritus, and maceration; two patients persisted with scaling. A cure was obtained in 100 % of patients, similar to oral erythromycin response.
Conclusions: Ozonated olive oil is a good topical treatment option for interdigital Erythrasma avoiding oral medications. Larger studies are required.

Background: The best space maintainer in both primary and mixed dentition is the primary tooth itself. This is not only because of the clinical crown but also due to the presence of the roots and periodontium that guide the eruption of the permanent tooth. Although over the years many materials have been tried for obturation of pulpectomized primary teeth, no material has been found to fulfill all requirements.

The growing emergence of resistance mechanisms and side effects associated with antifungal agents highlight the need for alternative therapies. This study aims to investigate the antifungal potential of ozonated extra-virgin olive oil (EOO) against , with the goal of developing eco-friendly and highly effective treatments based on natural products. Antifungal activity was evaluated via cell viability and biofilm formation assays using Crystal Violet and Sytox green staining.

Ensuring the health of the gums and supporting structures (periodontium) is crucial during dental restoration procedures to achieve optimal function and appearance of the teeth. Understanding the anatomy, the impact of restorative materials, and their interaction with the periodontium is essential for successful treatment outcomes. Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of gingiva and bone tissue to expose more of the tooth structure, thereby increasing the visible portion of the tooth (clinical crown height).

Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 72-year-old male patient with DS showed symptoms like palate burning and difficulty chewing, with clinical evidence confirming the diagnosis.
- * Treatment involved ceasing denture use, diode laser therapy, topical ozonated oil, and patient education on hygiene, resulting in significant healing by day six, indicating the importance of comprehensive management and patient involvement in recovery.

New industries are proliferating in the recovery of agri-food wastes, such as those involved in the revaluation of alperujo, generated in the production of olive oil. Despite the potential environmental benefits, their activity is not exempt from new forms of emissions, aggravated by the massification of waste treatments. This work reports a six-month field campaign carried out in an alperujo desiccation plant which can serve as a proxy for these emerging industries in the Mediterranean countries.
