Odontogenic adenomatoid tumor: report of case and review of the literature.
An unusual case of odontogenic adenomatoid tumor in the mandible of an 11-year-old Ethiopian girl is described. This case is unique because of the extensive size of the tumor (12 cm), long duration, the number of associated impacted teeth (seven), the pronounced areas of radiopaqueness, the multiocular configuration, the anomalous tooth form, and the fact that deciduous teeth were involved.

Histocompatibility of polyvinyl acetate, an ingredient of chewing gum.
The histocompatibility of polyvinyl acetate (PVA), an ingredient of chewing gum, was evaluated from both a direct irritant (toxic reaction) and an allergic (antigen-antibody) standpoint. Subcutaneous injections in rats and topical application of hamster pouches were utilized. Polyvinyl acetate was shown to cause a moderate to severe inflammatory reaction when injected subcutaneously, which peaked at day 7 and was minimal at day 42. The histologic appearance of the hamster cheek pouch was not significantly altered by the PVA. Although PVA has been used as a plasticizer in chewing gum, it was not possible to induce any histologic changes in tissues which resembled the specific changes present in atypical gingivostomatitis (plasma-cell gingivostomatitis).
