Summary
This case report highlights a 12-year-old boy diagnosed with chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis (COPP) of the mandible. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of this rare condition.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Osteomyelitis commonly affects the maxillofacial region, particularly the mandible.
- Chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis (COPP) is an infection often seen in younger individuals, stemming from a bacterial focus.

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
