Abstract

Oral mucosal ulceration is a common manifestation of various disease processes. Identification of the aetiological factor(s) involved greatly facilitates the management of such conditions. This report describes oral ulceration of the mucosa overlying the lingual shelf and mylohyoid ridge of the mandible and, less commonly on tori and exostoses, in association with bone sequestration. Trauma, which involves the subjacent periosteum resulting in a focus of ischaemic bone necrosis, in conjunction with local anatomical and perhaps other systemic predisposing factors, forms the aetiopathogenesis for this particular type of focal ulcerative lesion.
