[Garre's chronic osteomyelitis].
In this paper we present a typical case of GARRE's chronic osteomyelitis. The patient was a 11 years old boy who has been examined for an asymptomatic hard swelling of the mandible on the right side. The X-ray examination with panoramic film revealed radiolucency apically of No 46 and 85 molars and in the occlusal film it was evident the "onion-peel" appearance of newly formed bone. A diagnosis of GARRE's chronic osteomyelitis was made and the teeth were extracted. Two months later after the extraction there wasn't swelling on the mandible.
