ABSTRACT
Certain patients may be considered as being at "risk" with respect to the possibility of development of significant diseases of either a local or a systemic nature as a direct result of the presence of oral infection. The problems relating to the development of bacteremia subsequent to surgery in the patient with cardiovascular disease are well appreciated. Thought should be given to the possibilities of such developments in relation to the presence of periapical pathosis. It is demonstrated that a definitive evaluation of the status of the nonvital tooth cannot be made by the presently accepted methods of clinical and radiographic examination.

A case is reported of traumatic cyst lying in the molar region of the mandible. It extended to the inferior border of the mandible and extended the buccal alveolar bone. The cystic cavity contained the inferior neuro-vascular bundle yellow serous fluid, and a small amount of gas. The wall of the cavity was lined with loosely arranged connective tissue with numerous capillaries. Healing was uneventful and clinical and radiographic examinations revealed restoration of bone structure and normal contours.

A case in reported of coincidental abnormalities of development of both the premaxilla and anterior mandible. The defect in the mandible presented certain radiographic features frequently observed in cystic or neoplastic lesions. Histological examination revealed it to be of a developmental nature. The importance of adequate examination of tissue removed from lesions of the jaws is emphasized.

A case of ameloblastic fibro-odontome is reported. The clinical and histopathological features are discussed in detail and the surgical mangement of such lesions is shown to depend on these features. A plea is made for all lesions of this type to be reported.

The accuracy of conventional methods of assessing the periradicular tissues, especially important in the case of a patient with cardiovascular abnormality, is questioned. The results of histological assessment in 81 teeth are reported. The ideal of a biological obturation of the root canal is emphasized.
