Residual cysts of the jaws: a retrospective study of characteristic features and management at the university of the Western Cape oral health centre
Titinchi, Fadi
Residual cysts are infrequent inflammatory cysts of the jaws which are of odontogenic origin. They are usually preceded by a radicular cyst which has developed apical or adjacent to a carious tooth. These cysts usually present with similar features as radicular cysts; however, due to absence of the causative tooth, they can mimic more aggressive cysts and tumours on radiographs. Moreover, they have the ability to destroy bone within the jaws without any symptoms. There is paucity of studies in the literature regarding these cysts as they are often overlooked due to their lack of symptoms and innocent radiographic appearance. Hence, the aim of this study was to describe the clinical, radiological and histopathological features of residual cysts in the jaws as well as analyse their surgical management and recurrence patterns.

Unicystic Ameloblastoma : A critical appraisal
Singh, S
Robinson and Martinez first introduced the entity of unicystic ameloblastoma n 1977. Since
then numerous case reports and series have been published. The evidence suggests that a
more conservative approach can be used successfully to treat the unicystic ameloblastoma.
The term unicystic is derived from the rnacro- and microscopic appearance of the lesion,
whereas the term unilocular is used in radiological interpretation to describe a radiolucency
having one loculus or compartment. Much confusion stems from the fact that a unicystic
ameloblastoma might appear not only as a unilocular lesion, but also as what is often
interpreted as a multilocular bone defect.

A retrospective anal\'sis of gunshot injuries to the maxillofacial region (1980 to 1995)
Kassan, Ashwin Harkison
There appears to be an increase in the use of handguns amongst the civilian population with a
resultant increase in the firearm related mortalities in the Cape Town metropolitan area (Lerer
et al., 1997). Therefore, the aim of the study was to analyse the demographic data, patterns,
management and complications of gunshot injuries to the maxillofacial region.
This is a retrospective study of gunshot injuries to the maxillofacial region treated at Groote
Schuur Hospital, Cape Town over a 15 year period (1980- 1995). A total number of 301 cases
were analysed.

The inter-canine distance in the maxilla and mandible for sex determination in a sample of adults from Khartoum Teaching Dental Hospital, Sudan
Elhag, Ahmed
In forensic odontology, sex determination is one of the key parameters
and is a crucial element in identification of a deceased individual by a forensic
investigator. Canines are considered an excellent tool to distinguish gender. This study
investigated sexual dimorphism using quantities of the inter-canine distance of the
mandibular and maxillary permanent canines in a sample of the Sudanese population
living in Khartoum.
