title: Radio-diagnostic difficulties with mandibular lesions.
abstract: Periapical radiolucencies are by far the most common pathological processes shown in dental radiographs. The difficulties of interpreting the appearances are discussed on the basis of three cases with diagnostic difficulties. The demand for a close relationship between medical and dental disciplines is emphasised, as the oral cavity is often an indicator of general disorders of the body.
