Abstract

Condensing osteitis is pathological lesions of the maxillomandibular region which is seen in root apex of long standing untreated carious lesions or tooth having inappropriate endodontic treatment and generally occurs as a result of body’s defence mechanism against the infection. Dense trabeculae formation is seen within the bone marrow which appears as a radiopaque lesion near the apex of the affected tooth. Diagnosis of condensing osteitis depends on proper clinical and radiographic evaluation. In the present case report, condensing osteitis in a 12-year female is reported and with adequate endodontic procedure, healing and regression were seen after 6 months of follow-up.
