title: Sclerotic bone lesions: report of three cases.
abstract: This report describes three instances of radiodense bone lesions. These lesions are most commonly associated with teeth with pathological pulpal changes, and are believed to represent an osteoblastic response to inflammation. However, they may also be found adjacent to apparently clinically healthy teeth.
