Abstract
A piece of vinyl resin was inserted in the resected part of articular process of rabbit's mandible and the influence of resin upon the tissues around it was examined. Further using fascia of muscle in place of resin, an experiment was made as control. The results were as follows.
1) Vinyl resin exerted no specific influence upon the tissues around it.
2) Vinyl resin was unchanged in the tissues,
3) The above mentioned facts shows that vinyl resin remains harmlessly and stably in the tissues.
4) A piece of fascia of muscle which was inserted in the resected part of articular process was at first wrapped by connective tissue in the same manner as vinyl resin and then fell into necrosis after about 3 months. Thereafter it was gradually dissolved and absorbed.
