Clinical Management of Condensing Osteitis: A Case Report
Author(s): Reema A Sharaf*
Abstract
An area of increased bone density characterizes condensing osteitis, also known as focal sclerosing osteomyelitis, a condition most commonly involving the mandible and typically resulting from chronic inflammation or infection. This lesion appears as a localized radiopaque area on radiographic images, typically in the periapical region (around the root of a tooth). In the present case report, we are reporting a case of condensing osteitis in a 57-year-old female who came to our dental clinic with sudden pain and bony swelling in the lower right side of the mandible. We have discussed the management and follow-up of the case.
