ABSTRACT
The calculated electron density distribution for orpiment, As(2)S(3), reveals that As-S, S-S, and As-As bond paths are associated with the experimental interlayer directed bonded interactions detected in a combined infrared and Raman study. The successful modeling of the infrared- and Raman-determined interlayer bonded interactions together with bond paths and the structuralization of a variety of inorganic molecules in terms of "key-lock" bond path mainstays support the argument that van der Waals forces in inorganic molecular crystals are directional.

A case of VACTERL association has been presented in conjunction with possible hemifacial microsomia and fused teeth. Although the etiology of VACTERL association and hemifacial microsomia is unclear, the similarity of symptoms would suggest a common cause. A retrospective study of patients previously diagnosed with VACTERL association might reveal additional symptoms of dental and/or facial anomalies and warrant changing the acronym to VACTERL-DF in recognition of these dentofacial findings.

Butorphanol and meperidine, each combined with titrated diazepam, 10 to 20 mg, were compared in a randomized, double-blind trial for their sedative-analgesic effects. The fifty patients underwent multiple dental extractions under local anesthesia and sedation in an outpatient clinic. Butorphanol was significantly superior to meperidine with respect to the diazepam dose required to achieve the target level of sedation, the total diazepam dose administered, the clinical level of sedation, the surgeon's overall evaluations of effectiveness and of sedation level, and several patient evaluation parameters measured at discharge from the recovery room and at follow-up interview. All study drugs were well tolerated. Butorphanol offers clinical advantages over meperidine when combined with diazepam for sedation analgesia in outpatient oral surgery.

Fracture of the set screw on the drill guide used for placement of the mandibular staple bone plate resulted in inability to remove the apparatus. The problem was resolved by cutting the director rods.
