CONCLUSIONS: There was always a decrease of the values of arch depth and arch perimeter at the end of the treatment, especially in the upper arch. These changes must be considered by the clinicians to perform a better treatment to obtain the most predictable results and a patient's higher satisfaction.

Influence of Sars-Cov 2 lockdown on the incidence of facial trauma in a tertiary care hospital in Rome, Italy.
CONCLUSIONS: During the 2 months of COVID-19-related lockdown, a dramatic decrease in facial trauma patients was observed at our tertiary care hospital with a shift toward older age ranges. Regarding the causes of trauma, the largest percentage reduction was found in road, sports and work accidents; this percentage reduction was not found in aggressions. A small increase in the percentage was also found regarding surgical indications, likely because more severe cases were more prone to be referred to the hospital despite the fear of being infected.

Reduce the spread of COVID-19 within the dental practice: the era of single use.
CONCLUSIONS: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a coronavirus type transmitted through droplets produced by infected people when they cough, sneeze or exhale. Our proposal in dictating the sequence and types of protective devices to be worn by patients minimizes the contagion between patients in a professional healthcare office and is applicable for any type of infectious emergency.
