RESUMEN
Eleven edentulous patients were participated in the present study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups for m and ibular vestibuloplasty. The first group was treated by Godwen's technique and the second group was treated by Edlan's technique. Clinically, it was found that there was a highly significant correlation between alveolar bone resorption and sulcus relapse postoperatively, while there was no significant difference between the two groups by cephalometric evaluation. These results indicated that the alveoloplastic operation for deepening sulcus had no significant effects on bone resorption

Recurrence of mucocele after surgery is not uncommon. This study was conducted to investigate the recurrence rate of lower lip mucocele after enucleation. Twenty four patients were enrolled in the study. They were divided into two equal groups each comprised of 12 patients. In group I, a straight incision was used while in group II, an elliptical incision was utilized. Results showed that the recurrence rate was 25% in group I, while in group II no recurrence was recorded over a follow up period of two years

Local drug delivery release relatively high doses of the drug to the lesion with minimum side effect. In this paper a new device of acrylic strip is used to study the release of both anticancer drug [Zonasar] and different types of antibiotics in the serum and rat tissues. It was found that all the studied antibiotics and the anticancer drug reached the tissues and the serum 48 hours after implantation of the strips in the rat tissue. This may suggest that the acrylic strip can be utilized as a device to release chemotherapeutic agents directly into the lesions, which may minimize the systemic complications of chemotherapeutic agents and increase its effectiveness
