[Radiographic interpretation of experimentally produced osseous lesions in the human mandible].
Using rotary instruments drilled bony cavities which differed in diameter and depth into a human jaw. X-rays were taken and developed employing a very precise and accurate technique to obtain high definition radiograph. From a careful study of these x-rays it was found that localized lesions in cancellous bone alone are difficult to visualize on x-rays, whereas they are easily noticeable when the cortical bone is involved.
