Abstract

A method for the consistent production of epithelial-lined cysts in the mandibles of rats is described. Attached gingiva from the interdental papilla was excised and implanted into prepared cavities in the mandible. The animals were examined at time periods varying from 0 to 45 days later. Twenty-seven of the 28 animals examined after 7 days or longer had developed cysts. An interpretation of the pathogenesis of these cysts was made based on histologic observations and measurements of the cysts at the various time intervals.
