Reported is the case of a well-circumscribed radiopaque ameloblastoma of the maxilla. Treatment was by means of a conservative partial resection of the maxilla. The procedure was successful in completely removing the tumor mass without causing any noticeable facial disfigurement. Long-term follow-up was stressed to the patient for early detection of any recurrence.

A case of a dentigerous cyst with proliferating odontogenic epithelium in a 5-year-old black boy is presented. A controversy exists in the histologic diagnosis and surgical treatment of this lesion. The accuracy of the pathologic diagnosis is imperative, as it will determine to a great extent the surgical modality of treatment.

The diagnosis and management of a fractured mandible of a 4-year old child has been presented. A brief review of the literature is given. The remarkable aspect of the case is its reported cause of dog bite. The patient was managed conservatively by closed reduction, and use of Oliver loops. The maxillomandibular fixation was lost on the 11th postoperative day. At that time, no mandibular deviation or limitation of movement was noted. Further immobilization was not deemed necessary. During a three-month follow-up period, no complications occurred.

A 47-year-old woman had a swelling in the floor of the mouth and in the submandibular area on the left side. About four hours earlier, a dentist had extracted the mandibular left second premolar and first molar. The rate and degree of the distension were alarming; the floor of the mouth was at a level with the incisal edges of the mandibular incisors. Five hours later, the floor of the mouth was elevated about 1 1/2 cm above the incisal edges of the teeth. Treatment of the patient and her unusual sensitivity to meperidine and promethazine that caused a depression into Cheyne-Stokes respiration and hypotension are described.
