The purpose of this article was to present a case report of 11–year old female patient with a large osteolytic mandibular lesion which healed after endodontic treatment. The patient was referred for radio diagnostics due to an incidental finding of a large osteolytic lesion of the area of the left lower first and second premolars in the panoramic radiograph taken before orthodontic treatment. CBCT was performed and the patient asked to have teeth 33-35 treated by endodontics before surgery. The patient missed the surgical appointment and when she reappeared several months later, the lesion showed signs of healing thus surgery were aborted. The presented case testifies to the observation that even large osteolytic lesions can heal after endodontic treatment without surgical approach.

Abstract Aim The aim of the documentation of this clinical case is to make clinicians aware of “meth mouth” and the medical risks associated with this serious condition. Background Methamphetamine is a very addictive, powerful stimulant that increases wakefulness and physical activity and can produce other effects such as cardiac dysrhythmias, hypertension, hallucinations, and violent behavior. Dental patients abusing methamphetamine can present with poor oral hygiene, xerostomia, rampant caries (“meth mouth”), and excessive tooth wear. Oral rehabilitation of patients using methamphetamine can be challenging. Case Description A 30-year-old Caucasian woman presented with dental pain, bad breath, and self-reported poor esthetics. A comprehensive examination including her medical history, panoramic radiograph, and intraoral examination revealed 19 carious lesions, which is not very common for a healthy adult. She reported her use of methamphetamine for five years and had not experienced any major carious episodes before she started using the drug. Summary The patient's medical and dental histories along with radiographic and clinical findings lead to a diagnosis of “meth mouth.” Although three different dental treatment modalities (either conventional or implantsupported) have been offered to the patient since August 2007, the patient has yet to initiate any treatment. Clinical Significance This clinical case showing oral manifestations of meth mouth was presented to help dental practitioners recognize and manage patients who may be abusing methamphetamines. Dental practitioners also may be skeptical about the reliability of appointment keeping by these patients, as they frequently miss their appointments without reasonable justification.

Pendahuluan: Salah satu terapi pada penanganan osteomielitis adalah sequestrectomy. Sequestrectomy merupakan suatu usaha penghilangan sekuester yang telah terbentuk melalui pembedahan dengan trauma minimal. Evaluasi pasca sequestrectomy dapat dilakukan menggunakan pemeriksaan radiografi panoramik. Radiograf panoramik dapat memperlihatkan gambaran tulang alveolar pasca sequestrectomy pada kasus osteomielitis, serta dapat menemukan kelainan lain yang bersifat asimtomatik seperti florid osseous dysplasia (FOD). Tujuan dari laporan kasus ini adalah untuk menjelaskan lebih lanjut mengenai gambaran radiografis panoramik pasca sequestrectomy kasus osteomielitis yang disertai temuan kelainan lain yang bersifat asimtomatik seperti FOD. Laporan kasus: Pasien datang dengan rujukan radiografi panoramik untuk evaluasi pasca sequestrectomy dengan diagnosis klinis osteomielitis supuratif kronis. Dari hasil foto panoramik didapatkan bahwa masih terdapat gambaran radiolusen dan gambaran radioopak sisa serpihan tulang  (sekuester) dan gambaran FOD pada region lain. Gambaran radiografis panoramik pada kasus ostemielitis pasca sequestrectomy masih menunjukkan gambaran moth-eaten, masih ada sekuester, sisa serpihan tulang, terlihat gambaran radioopak di tengah dan di sekitar pulau radiolusen. Hal ini menandakan bahwa osteomielitis belum sembuh meski telah dilakukan sequestrectomy. Ditemukan pula gambaran lesi radioopak lainnya, yaitu suspek FOD pada region lain. FOD rentan infeksi sehingga memungkinkan terjadinya osteomielitis. Simpulan: Gambaran radiograf panoramik dapat digunakan sebagai metode evaluasi penunjang pasca sequestrectomy pada kasus osteomielitis dan juga dapat digunakan sebagai metode untuk menemukan kelainan yang bersifat asimtomatik seperti FOD.Kata kunci: Osteomielitis, sequestrectomy, florid osseous dysplasia, radiograf panoramik. ABSTRACTIntroduction: One of the osteomyelitis treatments is sequestrectomy, which attempts to remove sequesters formed surgically with minimum trauma. Post-sequestrectomy evaluation can be performed using panoramic radiographs. Panoramic radiographs can show alveolar bone images after sequestrectomy in osteomyelitis cases and can find other asymptomatic disorders such as florid osseous dysplasia (FOD). This case report was aimed to explain the panoramic radiographs after sequestrectomy of osteomyelitis cases accompanied by findings of other asymptomatic abnormalities such as FOD. Case report: A patient was presented with a panoramic radiograph referral for post-sequestrectomy evaluation with a clinical diagnosis of chronic suppurative osteomyelitis. The panoramic photo results found that there were still radiolucent images and radioopaque images of bone debris (sequester) and FOD images in other regions. In the post-sequestrectomy osteomyelitis case, panoramic radiographs still showed moth-eaten, sequesters, remaining bone fragments, radioopaque images in the middle and around the radiolucent islets. This result indicated that osteomyelitis has not healed despite sequestrectomy. There were also features of other radioopaque lesions, namely suspected FOD in other regions. FOD is susceptible to infection, thus allowing osteomyelitis. Conclusion: Panoramic radiographs can be used as a supporting evaluation method after sequestrectomy in osteomyelitis cases and can also find asymptomatic abnormalities such as FOD.Keywords: Osteomyelitis, sequestrectomy, florid osseous dysplasia, radiograph panoramic.
