This is morefrequently the case with the smaller abscesses. The acute development of alveolar sepsis as describedabove is the gross exception—not the rule. The usualmode of onset is insidious. In a vast majority of casesa small mass of pus or granulation tissue forms at theopening of the root canal. It varies in size from a mi-nute mass to the size of a pea or larger and develops,as a rule, slowly and insidiously without causing pain or 50 OKAL SEPSIS discomfort and usually without even causing tendernessof the tooth. Such granulomata may exist unchangedfor years, may vary in size from time to time due proba-bly to trauma and changed states of health. They mayheal and recur spontaneously and may
