The case reported illustrates a rare but interesting condition. Early treatment is the most important factor in decreasing the high morbidity associated with this infection. Aspiration is a key diagnostic tool for early diagnosis. Surgical intervention should be individually assessed and active physiotherapy is a must to resume normal function of the joint.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is due to benign or malignant neoplasia of one or more parathyroid glands, causing a wide spread osteoclastic resorption of bone with fibrous tissue replacement. A case of primary hyperparathyroidism involving mandible of a 16 year old Saudi female is being reported. The patient was terated by surgical intervention. This case supports the opinion that negative laboratory tests viz., calcium and phosphorus levels do not exclude the existence of hyperparathyroidism (normocalcaemic type).

In the present study, a series of cementum and bone specimens were examined both qualitatively and quantitatively with a view to establishing histological criteria which may help in differentiating cementum from bone. This is for the first time that differences in cellularity and width of fibre bundles between the lamellar bone and the cementum has been reported.
