title: Garre's osteomyelitis: a case report.
abstract: Garre's Osteomyelitis is a distinctive type of chronic osteomyelitis associated with gross thickening of the periosteum of the bones and peripheral reactive bone formation resulting from mild irritation or infections. The condition is seen exclusively in children or young adults. Mandible is more often affected than the maxilla. Clinically it manifests as bony hard, non-tender swelling which is slowly progressive and associated with painful carious tooth. In this article, a case report of a eight year old female is presented along with complete investigations and treatment.
