          Abstract

          Osteoporotic bone marrow defect of the jaws has been reported as a poorly demarcated radiolucency that affect mainly posterior mandible of middle-aged woman. The incidence of this condition is not exactly established and its pathogenesis remains unknown. An additional unusual case of osteoporotic bone marrow defects occurring bilaterally in the mandibular edentulous regions of a 32-year-old white woman is presented reinforcing its diagnostic criteria and histopathological findings.

          Focal osteoporotic marrow defect: report of 100 new cases with ultrasonography scans.

          Wesley Shankland, J E Bouquot (2004)
          Focal osteoporotic marrow defect (FOMD) may be the earliest detectable form of the ischemic marrow disorders. The exact cause is unknown, but three theories have been proposed in the literature. A fourth is presented in this paper. In this study, 100 biopsies were examined histologically and were diagnosed as FOMD, based upon consistent histological characteristics. Until recently, the only diagnostic criteria were radiographic evaluation and incisional biopsy. In February 2002, a through-transmission alveolar ultrasonic test (Cavitat 4000, Cavitat Medical Technologies, Inc., Aurora, CO) was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and by Health Canada for detection of low bone density and bone desiccation, both features of FOMD and chronic ischemic bone disease. Within this article, the diagnostic criteria and pathological findings of FOMD will be presented. The three current theories concerning its etiology will be briefly presented and a fourth theory will be proposed.

              Focal osteoporotic bone marrow defects of the jaws.

              M S Makek, G E Lello (1986)
              Twenty focal osteoporotic bone marrow defects of the jaws were analyzed clinically, histologically, and radiographically; the findings were compared with those from all known published cases. Radiologic and clinical criteria that are useful for making a definitive diagnosis are discussed, and five radiologic categories are proposed.
