. Interpretation of dental & maxillary roentgenograms . f defined outlines of this area make diagnosis of cyst probable. Patient gavehistory of having had abscessed condition and bone infection connected with thirdmolar and operation many years before. At time roentgenogram was made, left sideof face was swollen, there was difficulty in opening the mouth, and a small sinus wasfound on the upper aspect of the gum at the site of the lower third molar, throughwhich a thin fluid discharged into the mouth. A diagnosis was made of dental cyst,probably originating from epithelial remnants around the third molar, left behind atthe first operation. At operation, the thin bone overlying the cavity was rongeuredaway and the fluid contents and cyst wall removed. It was possible to pass a probewithin the cavity almost up to the mandibular articulation, and down through a per-foration into the neck. The diagnosis of cyst was confirmed by microscopic examina-tion of the tissue removed, which showed a condition similar to that in Fig. Fig. 240.—Roentgenogram of same case taken four months later, showing almost com-plete obliteration of cyst cavity by regeneration of bone. 136 1ISTTERPRETATIO X <»F ROE XT<; RA .M S
