ABSTRACT
The preservation of the natural dental roots represents a big advantage for the overdenture prosthetic appliances. The realization of an overdenture needs a perfect correlation of all the clinical and technological factors, in all the prosthetics steps. Another important aspect is represented by the possibility of a correct treatment of the remaining roots. The remaining roots will be correctly endodontically treated. The root section will be prepared with two inclines bucally and orally located. A metallic cup will cover the root section. On the inner surface of the overdenture the dental technician will realize specific preparations corresponding to this cups. This kind of prosthetic treatment is indicated only for patients with a very good oral hygiene and a good general health.

157 cases of malignant infiltrative tumors of urinary bladder admitted and treated in a 5-year interval (1983-1988) are presented. Considerations on age, sex, urological history, associated urological disorders, symptoms and clinical examination, diagnostic methods, surgical procedures and their association with other non-surgical procedures, postoperative evolution, pathological examination of the resection sample, tumoral stage, recurrences are made. Five cases treated by various methods are presented in detail. The clinical and laboratory diagnosis, therapeutical methods and the staged therapeutical indications are also commented upon. In the malignant infiltrative tumors of urinary bladder the authors recommend the partial cystectomy which, when correctly indicated and performed, gave similar results as total cystectomy. It is also underlined that in case of an urographically silent kidney the attitude should be conservative and the treatment of the malignant infiltrative tumors of urinary bladder should be multimodal.

The authors present their own experience in the intersomatic arthrodesis for severe scolioses, with or without means of osteosynthesis. The indication for this intervention is justified only as an atribute of absolute "vital indication". This surgery is far-reaching, requires an accurate technique, well adjusted instruments and conditions of advanced intensive care. The results were satisfactory both for the correction of the gibbosity but especially for the functional recuperation of the restrictive, respiratory insufficiency. 45 patients, out of whom 9 required an arthrodesis with an original model of thready rod, benefited from anl intersomatic osteotomy. We noticed that a progressive correction of the primitive upper concavity can be obtained by a osteotomy not larger than 4 disks; the patients to whom a spring for permanent compression was set profited by a satisfactory progressive correction.
