title: [Radiological and electron microscopic examination on epulis osteoplastica].
abstract: Epulis osteoplastica was examined with soft X-ray radiography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe X-ray microanalizer (EPMA). Extracted epulis tissue from the incisor region of mandible was offered to this examination. The soft X-ray radiograms showed well defined radiopaque trabecular structures in the soft tissue. The pathological findings with HE staining revealed that these structures were bone tissues. The SEM images demonstrated irregularly shaped trabecular structures with fine bone tissues. The EPMA images obtained from the same specimen supported the findings.
