We report a case of an extensive and relapsing mandibular osteonecrosis in a male patient, 78 years old, who was referred with painful symptoms associated with extense ulcer in alveolar ridge. The patient had previous history of osteonecrosis after dental extractions, which had already been treated by bone debridement. The oral exam showed an extensive area of necrotic mandibular bone and ulcered oral mucosa.
