This isn't the one that I saw, but pretty close to it. (For those of you who don't know about ONJ, that brown lumpy thing the arrow is pointing to is a large, exposed area of infected, necrotic bone from the jaw! Yuck! Super cool though when you're odd like me and my fellow hygiene students!
This morning I had a very pleasant patient with class II periodontitis but that wasn't the real excitement of the morning. Diane had a patient with Osteoradionecrosis of the Jaw! ONJ! I never expected to actually see that in real life but there ya go! It was in the right mandibular retromolar pad and was about 10x7MM! The patient was also really neat, he let each one of us students and even Professor McConaughy come in and take a look! It was so cool!!!
