    Summary: By providing multiple economic goods and ecosystem services, Latin American forests play a key role in the environmental, social and economic welfare of the regions countries. From the tropical forests of Central America to the Mediterranean and temperate vegetation of the southern cone, these forests face a myriad of phytosanitary problems that negatively impact on both conservation efforts and forest industry. This book brings together the perspectives of several Latin American researchers on pest and disease management. Each chapter provides modern views of the status and management alternatives to problems as serious as the impact of introduced exotic insects and diseases on Pinus and Eucalyptus plantations throughout the continent, and the emergence of novel insect outbreaks in tropical and temperate native forests associated with global warming. It is a valuable guide for researchers and practitioners working on forest health in Latin America and around the world.

    The results of 9 years experience with transfixed abutment-teeth for bar-joint dentures in the lower jaw were collected. The method has been slightly altered since the beginning, and these changes are described in order to complete earlier publications: there are special chapters dealing with the implant-material Syntacoben, which is used in human and veterinary medecine mainly, and with the transfixation technique. By measuring the tooth mobility over a period of 20 months in a group of subjects, one has shown that the stabilisation (4.5 +/- 1.0.10(-2) mm) of loosened lower anterior abutment teeth combined with a bar-joint denture is lasting, even under masticatory pressure. The long-term results (mean wearing-time is 5.5 years) are gathered in a summarized survey. In 62 patients with 100 transfixed abutment-teeth (making a total of 159 abutment-teeth) there was a success of 62%, 15% partial success, and 23% failure. 5 success-cases are also radiologically shown. Within strict indications, transfixation can be recommended today to the practitioner.
