[Contribution of echotomography to the study of parotid diseases].

Echotomography of the parotids in 88 patients was successful in detecting normal parotid morphology or inflammation of the parenchyma (parotitis) in 100 p. cent of such cases, and detecting the precise localization of tumors (adenopathies or intraparotid tumors) up to 3 mm in diameter in 93 p. cent of cases. Though cystadenomas do not provide a specific image, their appearance is typical. Positive diagnosis was possible in 85 p. cent of mixed tumors of 1 cm diameter or more, and in 5 out of 7 cases of malignant lesions. The diagnostic value of this examination is markedly limiting that of parotid sialography.

[Transplantation of the lower wisdom teeth. 6 years' experience].

The authors report their experience with reference to wisdom tooth transplantation involving fifteen patients over a period of 6 years. They exclude from this paper those transplantations which they have done using buds without roots and those with teeth with completely formed roots, which would not appear to be the best time for transplantation from a physiological standpoint. They feel that the main indication occurs when (multi-ring orthodontic treatment being impossible) the first molar is impossible to preserve and the wisdom tooth cannot apparently become functional. They describe their techniques. Despite the successess obtained (11 cases out of 15) with a follow-up of 6 years to one and a half years, the authors express a degree of reserve as far as the distant future is concerned with regard to possible rhizoclasia.
