Introduction:
Garrè's osteomyelitis is a rare, chronic infection associated with proliferative periostitis that induces reactional bone neoformation.Objective:
To report the clinical case of successful treatment of Garre's osteomyelitis in a young patient. Case report An 11-year-old girl visited a dental clinic with complaints of volume increase in the mandibular border accompanied by pain and facial asymmetry. Computed tomography revealed extensive tooth destruction, a periapical lesion, and several radiopaque bone laminations parallel to the mandible cortex, all findings suggestive of Garrè's osteomyelitis. The patient was treated by tooth removal and antibiotic therapy, and the condition was completely resolved, with decreased facial asymmetry at the 6-month follow up.Conclusion:
Once the diagnosis of Garrè's osteomyelitis is established and proper treatment is provided, the prognosis tends to be extremely favorable and bone remodeling should be considered until the affected surface returns to its normal anatomy.
