Subject: focal osteoporotic bone marrow dentist. Контекст: Another developmental anomaly that must be differentiated from pathology is the focal osteoporotic bone marrow. In this situation, one or more radiolucent areas, surrounded by normal trabecular bone, are located within the medullary portion of the jawbone, causing no effect on adjacent teeth or bone. These enlarged bone marrow spaces usually occur in women and are most typically found in the mandibular premolar-molar region, but they may also be seen in the maxillary tuberosity, mandibular retromolar area, edentulous sites, and in the furcation area of molars. They contain normal hematopoietic or fatty marrow and are not considered pathologic, although their exact etiology is not known. If there is doubt about the nature of the condition, follow-up radiographs can be useful to show lack of change over time.
