A rare case report of mandibular spur on inferior border of the mandible – “Note the point”

Abstract

Bone spurs are projections that are seen along the borders of bone. These pathologies are usually located within joints and are referred to as osteophytes. Due to the increased frequency or incidence within the joints, osteophytes are named after the location of occurrence, such as extraspinal osteophytes. Due to the lack of a definition or classification of bone spurs in scientific literature and the paucity of cases reported in the jaws, the the current article reports a case of the bone spur along the inferior border of the mandible.
