Throat packs for surgery. An improved design based on anatomical measurements.

A method of measuring the static dimensions of the human pharynx is presented. An entirely new approach to the design of both an oropharyngeal, and a pharyngeal throat pack is described. The new throat packs have been tested in clinical practice and found to have advantages. Pollution within the dental surgery by anaesthetic gases is discussed and the influence of the oropharyngeal pack on this problem is illustrated.

Dental complications of cytotoxic therapy in Hodgkin's disease--a case report.

A case of trigeminal zoster in a patient with disseminated Hodgkin's disease is described. Although one case of maxillary tooth loss in a comparable patient has previously been recorded, this is the first report of mandibular tooth loss. The aetiological significance of Beomycin and I-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-I-nitrosourea (C.C.N.U.) is discussed and an hypothesis for post-zoster tooth exfoliation is suggested.
