[Surgery in daily practice: failures and limits].

From the various fields of dental surgery a few examples of failures along with the possible causes for it are described. It is shown how the limits for surgery in dental practice is given by the limit for unhospitalized treatment. Naturally, the knowledge and skill of the operator play an important role, but it should never be forgotten that an intervention is always as difficult as the solution to the gravest possible emergency.

[Partial vestibuloplasty with secondary epithelization].

After description of indication and method of partial vestibuloplasty with secondary epithelization, the experiences with 61 treated cases are described. It was found that inspite of pronounced danger of recidivation in maxillary cases very useful results can be obtained by proper indication. This was confirmed by the referring dentists. The few cases of mandibular vestibuloplasty showed that in general it is not indicated. Of 5 cases, only one showed a durable good result while all other cases recidivated.

[Long-term experiences with marsupialization of large mandibular cysts into the oral vestibulum].

After a few remarks on the indication for marsupialisation and the choice of therapy, the treatment of large mandibular cysts as practised in the Zurich Clinic is described. 53 cases were all marsupialized into the oral vestibulum. Postoperative healing was without complications in 49 cases, while 3 cases showed delayed healing and in one case, an undislocated fracture occurred from trauma. Postoperative treatment with a vaselinated iodoform gauze lasted between 3 and 5 weeks. Postoperative discomfort was described as mild by the patients. Bone regeneration was good, as shown by late controls of 48 surgically treated cysts: 42% did not show any dip in the bone, in 54% a slight dip, unnoticeable by the patient remained and only in 4% cases the recess disturbed as a food trap. These encouraging results have established marsupialisation as a most useful method, preferable to cystectomy because of the absence of complications and of the necessity of bone transplantation. The method should be limited however to the horizontal ramus. Extensive cysts of the ascending ramus are operated by another method.

Experiences on the sequela of maxillary sinusitis following closure of the causative oro-antral fistula.

After describing the method of treating sinusitis in established oro-antral fistulae, which consists of irrigation of the maxillary sinus, antibiotic therapy and closure of the fistula, our experience gained on 75 cases checked postoperatively is presented. We found that a radical operation of the sinus, even later, was not necessary in most cases (present investigation of our clinical material showed 97.3 per cent). The inflammatorily a altered mucosa recovers after the elimination of the causative factor, which in this case is the closure of the oro-antral fistula. These findings thus correlate with those made by Obwegeser a and Tschamer (1957) and by Killey and Kay (1967).
