- B. increased blood pressure in the facial artery, which wraps the mandible body from below and causes its resorption.
- C. depression created by gland tissue of the excessively remodelled lobe of a big, usually submandibular, salivary gland.
- D. healed cavity caused by the solitary cyst or eosinophilic granuloma.
- E. deformation of the mandibular bone in the course of growth.
