[Immune reaction as a cause for necrotizing epitheloid cell inflammation]

Disturbed wound healing following dentoalveolar procedures may be due to various causes. Necrotizing inflammations with epitheloid cells may easily be mistaken for specific inflammations. Atypical granulomas represent a response to foreign body material (e.g., gelatin sponges). The possibility of sensitization with Gelastypt was tested using immunologic methods.
