ABSTRACT
A 13-year-old female, who had been experiencing episodes of mandibular pain and swelling for approximately six months, was referred to a university urgent care dental clinic for evaluation after receiving endodontic treatment. At the referral examination, clinical and radiographic findings were suggestive of osteomyelitis. The purpose of this report is to present the possible etiology, clinical and radiographic findings and surgical management of mandibular osteomyelitis in an adolescent patient.
