Abstract

A particular kind of chronic osteomyelitis called Garre's osteomyelitis causes new bone to grow beneath the periosteum. The genesis of this condition affecting the mandible is linked to mild oral infections or irritations. This case report details a 15-year-old kid who had additional oral oedema in his lower jaw due to proliferative periostitis. A CBCT scan revealed laminated expression of anew designed periosteal bone alongside the buccal cortex and lower edge of the jaw. The patient had antimicrobial medication along with endodontic management for 37.
