title: Osteomyelitis of the mandible in a patient with dysosteosclerosis. Report of a case.
abstract: Dysosteosclerosis is a rare bone dysplasia that has radiographic, histopathologic, and clinical similarities to osteopetrosis. This article reviews the dental findings reported in patients with dysosteosclerosis and presents the first reported case of osteomyelitis of the mandible in a patient with this disease. This is also the first report that demonstrates ankylosis of impacted teeth in dysosteosclerosis.
