Autogenous dermal grafting vestibuloplasty in dogs.
Vestibuloplasties were done in dogs, using autogenous dermis as a graft material. Clinical and histologic examination was done at 10, 17, 21, and 28 days. Results showed good graft take and a final appearance resembling that of mucosa. Histologic findings correlated well with clinical appearance. From this investigation it appears that the dermis acts as a true graft and not just as a biologic dressing.

Correction of maxillofacial deformities in a patient with partial lipodystrophy syndrome.
A case of partial lipodystrophy syndrome has been presented. The problems peculiar to this patient have been discussed, and the literature pertinent to the syndrome has been reviewed. The procedures required for the correction of the patient's facial disharmonies are described, as well as the postoperative airway problems which developed. Staging of the procedures was thought to be necessary in view of the extensiveness of the planned surgery and the patient's complex metabolic derangements.

Solar cheilitis.
Solar cheilitis is a premalignant lesion seen predominantly on the vermilion of the lower lip in light-complexioned, middle-aged men who have spent considerable time outdoors. The lesions most likely to be dysplastic or neoplastic are those with heavy keratinization, erosion, ulceration, and erythema. Lips with any of these changes should be biopsied. The most common therapeutic modality is surgical excision of the affected area of vermilion. Well-planned and well-executed procedures provide good functional and cosmetic results.

Factor XI deficiency resulting in severe postoperative hemorrhage after odontectomy.
A case of factor XI deficiency has been presented. The patient required 91 units of fresh frozen plasma for hemostasis, which is more vigorous therapy than was to be expected from reviewing the current literature.

Denture stabilization with peralveolar tubing.
Mock dentures were stabilized in six monkeys by means of polyethylene tubings passed through surgically created buccolingual peralveolar channels. Macroscopic, radiographic, and microscopic examinations demonstrated that the dentures were stabilized and the tubings well tolerated throughout the 120-day study period.

Traumatic bone cyst in the maxilla.
This report presents an unusual asymptomatic periapical radiolucency occurring around the upper right lateral incisor. Surgical intervention revealed an empty bone cavity which was diagnosed as a traumatic bone cyst. Follow-up periapical radiographs of the patient were taken over a 6-year period until complete healing of the lesion took place.

Eikenella osteomyelitis of the mandible associated with anemia of chronic disease.
An unusual case of mixed bacterial osteomyelitis has been reported. The prodominant organism, E corrodens, normally is an inhabitant of the aerodigestive tract; its pathogenicity should not be overlooked in the diagnosis and treatment of oral infections. In addition, descriptions of anemia of chronic disease and of the spontaneous healing of a large defect of the bone have been presented.

Dens in dente: an unusual sequela. Abbreviated case report.
Dens in dente is the result of an invagination of the enamel organ into the developing dental papilla. The full pathologic potential of this lesion is often not fully appreciated. A case is reported in which a cyst resulting from a dens in dente obliterated the maxillary sinus and necessitated root canal therapy and apicoectomies in four adjacent teeth.

Carotid-cavernous sinus fistula after trauma to the head.
The similarities between the various conditions described are remarkable. The orbital or frontal bruit and pulsating exophthalmos are common only to the carotid-cavernous fistula. A recent history of dental treatment, of facial infection with an elevated white blood cell count, and leukocytosis suggests cavernous sinus thrombosis. The superior orbital fissure syndrome and orbital apex syndrome occur most frequently in conjuction with Le Fort II and III fractures, which can involve the optic foramen and superior orbital fissure, therefore disrupting the sensory and motor innervation to the orbit and adjacent structures (Fig 4). Direct orbital trauma without evidence of fracture and with all symptoms mentioned, except infection, bruit, and pulsating exophthalmos, suggests orbital hematoma. A thorough differential diagnosis with complete data is essential for a correct diagnosis, thereby reducing morbidity by institution of the appropriate treatment. Treatments for carotid cavernous fistula have varied over the years--all aiming toward abolition of the fistula. Currently, the preferred treatment is the supraclinoid clamping of the internal carotid artery, followed by muscle embolization of the internal carotid artery distal to the bifurcation, and clamping of the internal carotid artery in the neck.

Treatment of the oral complications of leukemia.
Complicating infectious processes and manifestations of immunosuppression were either cured or symptoms were decreased with aggressive therapy in 24 patients with acute leukemia and five with chronic leukemia. Oral surgical intervention combined with histocompatability-matched transfusion therapy can safely eliminate sources of sepsis and alleviate pain in patients who have undergone immunosuppressive and myelosuppressive treatment.

Local injection of corticosteroids with vestibuloplasty.
Triamcinolone acetonide was injected into the mucobuccal fold adjacent to the surgical site where a vestibuloplasty with mucosal grafting had been performed. Macroscopically, the mucobuccal folds of the experimental group were both softer than those of the control animals and exhibited less tendency toward regression in the depth of the vestibule. Microscopic examination revealed qualitative rather than quantitative changes in collagen formation.

Immediate vestibuloplasty with fenestrated and intact full-thickness mucosal grafts.
Intact and fenestrated full-thickness palatal mucosal grafts were placed following immediate vestibuloplasty in ten dogs of mixed breed. Macrscopic and microscopic findings indicated that the fenestrated grafts were as effective as the intact grafts in long-term maintenance of bestibular depth.

Squamous-cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth with extensive mandibular involvement.
The case of a patient with an extensive squamous-cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth with erosion of the mandibular bone is presented. The history and initial clinical picture were consistent with either carcinoma with superimposed infection or chronic osteomyelitis with an acute exacerbation. A discussion of diagnosis and treatment of carcinoma of the floor of the mouth follows this case report.

Mandibular actinomycosis: report of case.
A case of mandibular actinomycosis, secondary to a compound fracture in an alcoholic patient, is described. The factors that apparently enhance the development of this disease are discussed.

Fenestrated palatal mucosal grafts for vestibuloplasty.
Vestibuloplasties with fenestrated palatal mucosal grafts were successful in eight patients. The fenestrated palatal mucosa provides a tough, full-thickness, resilient mucosal graft from a limited donor site. The operating time is decreased, bleeding is minimized, and healing time of the donor site is shortened. Fenestration allows seepage of blood and tissue fluids from beneath the graft. The fenestrated grafts are readily adaptable to any irregularities of the edentulous mandibular ridge.
