[Hemorrhagic cyst of the mandible. A case presentation].

Haemorrhagic mandibular cysts are quite rare and generally considered sequelae of an earlier trauma causing an overflow of blood into the bone, though a number of pathogenic theories have been put forward. Since few of these cysts involve subjective symptoms, most are discovered accidentally during radiography, while a sure diagnosis is only likely to be obtained during surgery on the discovery of a nonepithelialized cavity. The paper presents a typical case of haemorrhagic mandibular cyst which was treated by opening the cavity and scraping its walls in order to cause bleeding that would promote the growth of new bone tissue.

[Current status of research on anticaries vaccines].

The experiment which was performed in different animal special confirmed that Streptococcus mutans is the main etiological agent implicated in dental caries. Nonetheless, since the use of anti-Streptococcal vaccines might lead to severe side effects, research is now focused on obtaining purified vaccines that do not create cruciate cardiac cross-reactivity.
