A histologic evaluation of bone response to bur cutting with and without water coolant.

Thirty-six bony cuts were made in the lateral aspect of the mandibles of mongrel dogs. Irrigation was employed in eighteen cuts, while the remaining eighteen were cut without irrigation. Histologic specimens were obtained at 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, and 3 weeks. Early specimens showed marked clot retraction from the bony walls in the nonirrigated cuts, while irrigated cuts demonstrated more firmly adherent and better organized clots. In later specimens, bone formation was less mature in the defects made without irrigation. Inflammation and necrosis of bone were minimal or absent in all sections. Defects made without irrigation exhibited delayed healing in this study.

Solitary subcutaneous lipoma: report of case.

A submental lipoma in a 66-year-old black man is presented. The etiology of the lesion is discussed and related to our case. The solitary subcutaneous lipoma is treated by excision. Recurrence is rare, and sarcomatous degeneration seldom occurs. Most other lesions of similar presentation and location occur in a younger age group than that of our patient.

Dentigerous cyst with mural ameloblastoma.

A case of a 14-year-old black girl with a lesion that appeared to be a dentigerous cyst is presented. Radiographic appearance, findings of a bone scan and biopsy by aspiration are discussed. Histologic findings showed that the lesion was an ameloblastoma that is believed to have arisen from the dentigerous cyst wall.

A model for teaching early child development.

A model of teaching psychological aspects of infant growth and development to medical students in a pediatric clinical rotation is described. Small groups of 8 to 10 medical students observe an infant developmental-assessment-parent-interview conducted by a child development specialist. Emphasis is placed upon demonstrating infant temperament, age-appropriate competencies, and the dynamic interplay between parent and child. Evaluation of this training program suggests its effectiveness as a method of instruction and its usefulness as an approach to the evaluation of the young child.

The surgical sequence of combined total maxillary and mandibular osteotomies.

In many instances, orthognathic surgical cases require multiple osteotomies in the maxilla and mandible to achieve the most desirable result. When the entire maxilla and mandible are freed from their relationship with the remaining craniofacial complex, accurate repositioning and adequate stabilization can present problems. These problems can be minimized by operating in the proper sequence or by staging the procedure. Staging should be considered for the more complicated cases; in any instance, the maxilla should be operated on first.

Mucosal grafting over Proplast-augmented edentulous ridges: a pilot study.

Full-thickness mucosal grafts were placed over Proplast-augmented alveolar ridges in six mongrel dogs. Five of the six grafts were successful, indicating that properly prepared recipient sites over Proplast provide adequate blood supply to support free grafts. A thicker keratinizing graft such as palatal mucosa may provide greater protection for the implant under the stress of a prosthesis.

Ludwig's angina due to bacteroides.

This case presentation concerns a 21-year-old Negro man in whom Ludwig's angina developed after a dental infection. The many serious complications encountered with such an infection are described in some detail. The involvement of anaerobic Bacteroides in infections of the head and neck is also noted and the approach to treatment is described.

The dynamic Morris biphase appliance for stabilization of flail facial bones.

This report presents our experience with a modification of the Morris biphase appliance. We have modified the device to let the patient open his or her mouth immediately after surgery to allow for intraoral suture line care. The device prevents deviation of the remaining mandible toward the operated side of the face. We believe this has lessened the esthetic, masticatory, and speech difficulties of the two patients in whom we used the device. We conclude the device deserves further testing.
