A review of the structure and function of the gingival seal.

The results of previous studies on the gingival seal at the level of the light microscope have now been correlated with studies conducted on the electron microscope. This paper attempts to correlate the findings at the two different levels and to clarify the functional role of the gingival seal.

Histological assessment of the temporomandibular joint.

An histological assessment has been made of condyles removed at condylotomy. The tissue was removed from patients where conservative treatment had proved unsuccessful. In most of the condyles degenerative changes were found and in some, evidence of trauma. The importance of adaption is discussed. The need for proper pre-operative assessment is emphasised.
