title: The traumatic bone cyst.
abstract: A case is reported of traumatic cyst lying in the molar region of the mandible. It extended to the inferior border of the mandible and extended the buccal alveolar bone. The cystic cavity contained the inferior neuro-vascular bundle yellow serous fluid, and a small amount of gas. The wall of the cavity was lined with loosely arranged connective tissue with numerous capillaries. Healing was uneventful and clinical and radiographic examinations revealed restoration of bone structure and normal contours.
