The incidence of the appearance of the nutrient canals is much greater in the hypertensive patients with alveolar bone loss (58.33%) than in the nonhypertensive patients without alveolar bone loss (54%). 2. In hypertensive patients with alveolar bone loss, nutrient canals are seen more frequent in females (59.01%) than in males (57.62%). 3.

The tumour arose in the right lateral lingual border of a 33-year-old man. In many pearls the cores were organized in two separate portions with distinct structural and histochemical features. The narrow peripheral portion had a compact structure and was rich in keratin since it contained cystine and was coloured with acid dyes of intermediate molecular size. The central portion was characterized by a loose texture and its histochemical profile (affinity for acid dyes of large molecular size, weak alcianophilia, vivid binding of colloidal iron) resulted from the existence of acidic mucosubstances in the cell coating of the neoplastic keratinized cells.

In cases where soft tissues (disc, posterior ligament) evaluation of the joint is necessary, arthrographic techniques as methods of choice are indicated.
