“…Cases of condylar osteomyelitis due to an ectopic third molar in a 35-year-old female4 and a lower left third molar in a 37-year-old male5 have also been reported; treatment was extraction, curettage, and drainage. Very similar to our case, Tong et al6 reported a case of chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis affecting the mandibular angle of a 12-year-old male patient secondary to an un-erupted lower third molar. All of the reported cases, except that by Tong et al6, were secondary to pericoronitis of a fully developed impacted third molar, not a tooth germ.…”

In prolonged chronic osteomyelitis, chronic inflammation and low-grade infections can result in new periosteal bone formation. Chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis (traditionally termed Garré's sclerosing osteomyelitis) mainly affects children and young adults. Here, we present two rare cases of an 11-year-old and a 12-year-old patient with suppurative chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis without any definitive infection source, such as dental caries or periodontitis. The source of infection was likely to be related to the development of a lower right third molar germ with follicular space widening. Management involved antibiotics and the removal of the third molar germ and surgical debridement. Disease remission and a normal appearance was observed at the six-month follow-up visit.

“…Several names have been used to denote this condition, such as chronic non-suppurative sclerosing osteomyelitis, more recently as periostitis ossificans and the most commonly used today, although cumbersome but nearly accurate is chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis. [2] It was formerly documented only in long bones, particularly tibia until 1948, when Berger described a case involving the mandible. [3] Proliferative osteomyelitis of the jaw which is a rather rare pathology was described only in the late 1970s.…”

Garre's sclerosing osteomyelitis is a kind of chronic osteomyelitis that is mainly seen in children and adolescents. It was formerly documented only in long bones, particularly tibia. Proliferative osteomyelitis of the jaw was described only in the late 1970s. Since then, this clinical entity is well illustrated in dental literature and is frequently linked with an odontogenic infection, mainly involving permanent teeth. This article describes an atypical manifestation of Garre's osteomyelitis of the mandible in a 7-year-old-girl, which was a result of infection of primary mandibular first molar. Extraction of the primary right first molar and antibiotic treatment resulted in complete healing, clinically and radiologically, after 6 months.
