Abstract:
After a brief historical review of the use of arsenic in dental practice two cases of arsenical necrosis of the jaws, affecting the maxilla and mandible respectively, are reported. Both patients were treated conservatively over an extended period with excellent results. It is concluded that there is no justification, whatsoever, for the use of arsenic in modern dental practice and that, although prolonged, conservative treatment of chemical necrosis of the jaws is preferable to more radical treatment.
