Sonography of nonneoplastic disorders of the salivary glands.

We examined 637 patients with salivary gland disorders by real-time sonography. In 270 patients, the possibility of neoplasia of the salivary glands could not be excluded by ultrasound. In the remaining 367 patients, the following disorders were diagnosed sonographically: acute inflammation (72 patients), Sjögren's syndrome or chronic inflammation (81 patients), abscess (9 patients), sialolithiasis (192 patients), and cysts (13 patients). The present study discusses the ultrasound appearances of a variety of diseases and the indications and limits of sonography in the evaluation of salivary gland pathology.

Computerized axiography: principles and methods.

This paper reviews earlier methods for the analysis of mandibular movement and gives a detailed account of state-of-the-art procedures. Special emphasis is given to computerized axiography and the application of this method to the diagnostics of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The article discusses the advantages of computerized axiography over the mechanical device and points out the limitations of the axiographic method. One major advantage of the computerized system is having the enlarged diagram of tracings on the computer screen. This means that small changes such as initial disk displacements can be diagnosed more readily than with the mechanical device.

Arterial supply of the oral mucosa.

In 15 human heads, bilateral injection through the common carotid artery was carried out in order to find out whether there are any more or less distinctly limited segments of the oral mucosa supplied by certain arterial branches that would represent the nutritive pedicles of the respective segments. It seems that the gingiva libera of the buccal side in the region of the upper molars and premolars represents such a segment. In spite of small anastomoses between the right and left sublingual arteries, one half of the sublingual mucosa may also be considered as a segment. The same refers to the mucosa of one half of the hard palate. Even smaller units of varying extent of the palatine mucosa may be differentiated as distinct vascular areas. For the majority of the oral mucosa, however, no limitations of vascular segments with distinct arterial pedicles could be discovered.

[The blood supply of the cervical esophagus].

In accordance with former authors the arteries for the cervical esophagus originate mainly from the inferior thyroid artery. In a few cases additional vessels originated directly from the subclavian artery. After a variable course they approach the esophagus in a purely transverse direction. The uppermost vessels originating from the inferior thyroid artery may send branches to the posterior wall of the trachea and also supply the anterior wall of the esophagus. The surgical separation of the two organs is dangerous for the esophagus.

[Intra- and extra-capsular condyle fractures in the growth period. Therapy, clinical course, complications].

37 patients had been reviewed after surgical (n = 25) or conservative (n = 12) treatment of condylar fractures. Morphologic and functional outcomes were equal in spite of the poorer starting position of the patients that had been operated on. Injuries and complications due to the operation, such as facial nerve palsy, growth inhibition or obvious scars have never been found. Conservatively treated and operated patients alike showed a moderate limitation of opening and mediotrusion on the fracture side, and both groups showed a flattening of the protrusion path.
