Osteopetrosis: Oral and Maxillofacial Manifestations

Osteopetrosis is a rare hereditary bone disease characterized by osteoclasts malfunction and impaired bone resorption. Decreased vascularity of bone as well as compromised immune system may result in oral and maxillofacial complications. Osteomyelitis is life-threatening problem in these patients usually associated with dental caries or abscess. Dental practitioners could play a crucial role in early diagnosis of osteomyelitis and avoid inappropriate treatments and further complications.
