Oral ulceration with bone sequestration: retrospective study of 8 cases and literature review.
Oral Diseases 2018 November 2
OBJECTIVE: Oral ulceration with bone sequestration (OUBS) describes a site-specific intraoral ulcer that covers exposed, non-vital bone in patients lacking any etiological factor known to induce osteonecrosis. We aimed to conduct a retrospective study of eight new cases of OUBS and review the literature.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of OUBS cases, diagnosed and managed during 2007-2017. Inclusion criteria were the presence of oral ulcer with exposed non-vital bone at sites of bony prominence and the absence of any factor known to cause osteonecrosis. The English literature was reviewed on original OUBS cases.
RESULTS: Eight patients (5 males and 3 females, aged 27-75 years) were diagnosed with OUBS during years 2007-2017. Four cases involved the mandibular mylohyoid ridge, one the mandibular anterior exostoses and three the maxillary buccal/palatal exostoses. Exposed bone was removed under local anesthesia, resulting in complete healing in all cases. The literature review yielded 32 OUBS cases in the mandible.
CONCLUSION: OUBS is a distinct, probably under-reported rather than rare clinical entity that should be regarded the provisional diagnosis in case of an oral ulcer covering exposed, non-vital bone at sites of bony prominence in patients lacking any etiological factor known to induce osteonecrosis.
