Surrounding- the borders of the injected paste we note a light zone, which represents the granula- tions lining this cavity. The darker margin of this light zone shows the ostitis which marks its boundaries. The value of this diagnostic method must appeal to those who have had difficulty in estimating the size of these bone cysts. Frequently the radiograph will show a sequestrum in the jaw, which, after removal, leaves a cavity which should be injected for therapeutic purposes.
