Resumo: Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory and infectious condition that can present challenges in diagnosis and treatment planning. The present study reports a clinical case of a patient who presented signs and symptoms compatible with mandibular osteonecrosis after tooth extraction. In addition to clinical examination and anamnesis, cone beam computed tomography and histopathological examinations were performed, which led to the diagnosis of secondary chronic osteomyelitis. The treatment was performed in a conservative approach, with the use of antibiotic therapy, selective surgical debridement and application of low-power laser. For follow-up, new CT scans were performed 30 and 90 days after the beginning of treatment. The images showed absence of periosteal reaction and areas of complete and partial bone formation within boundaries of the lesion. Clinically, there was complete repair of the soft tissue and no edema, secretion or fistula, showing the efficiency of the treatment.
