Consequently, in view of present injuries caused by war, a roentgenographic and histologic study of the reactions of the jaw to fracture is timely. Experimental fractures of the mandible in the rat in particular permit a study of the reactions in the growing tooth as well as in the growing bone. While fractures of the jaw in dogs or guinea pigs have been studied (Schafer, 1923⁶; Greve, 1927⁷ and Grimson, 1937⁸), no report on the effects of fractures of the jaw in the rat and on the simultaneous reaction of all the calcified structures present at the site of fracture was . . .
