Coccidioidomycosis involving the mandible: report of case.
We have presented a case of disseminated coccidioidomycosis involving the mandible in a 47-year-old white man. A review of the literature has shown that coccidioidomycosis involving the jaws is an unusual, if not rare, entity. The pathogenicity of the disease and accepted treatment were discussed.

Cast arch bars used in orthognathic surgery.
Cast arch bars are designed so that they are stable, comfortable, thin, and strong enough to withstand the forces of mastication during healing. The use of chromecobalt alloys for these arch bars keeps the cost low. The alloys are well tolerated by the patient and not as cumbersome as acrylic resin splints.
Bilateral enlargement of the mandibular coronoid processes in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis of the temporomandibular joints.
A case of rheumatoid arthritis of the temporomandibular joint with enlargement of both coronoid processes has been presented. Limited excursions of the mandible were due mainly to the encroachment of the coronoid processes on the posterolateral surfaces of the maxilla. The condition was relieved by unilateral arthroplasty and bilateral coronoidectomies. The etiology of the enlarged coronoid processes is unknown. However, the condition does resemble that which occurs experimentally when condylectomy is performed and the ramus is shortened. In this case, shortening of the ramus could be attributed to condylar destruction by the arthritic condition.
