Focal osteoporotic bone marrow defects usually appear as asymptomatic radioluencies in the edentulous posterior mandible of middle-aged women. The exact causative factor in the majority of focal osteoporotic bone marrow defects is still unknown. Because of their radiological similarity with many intraosseous lesions, accurate diagnosis is possible only with histopathological examination. A focal osteoporotic bone marrow defect that occurred 2 years postoperatively apical to an implant is presented with clinical, radiographic, and histopathologic features. According to the literature scan, this is the first case report of this phenomenon caused by a dental implant. Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 2011;26:e1-e4.
局灶性骨质疏松性骨髓缺陷通常表现为中年女性无牙下颌后牙区无症状的放射透亮区。大多数局灶性骨质疏松性骨髓缺陷的确切病因仍不清楚。由于其与许多骨内病变的影像学相似，只有通过组织病理学检查才能做出准确诊断。本文报道了一例种植体根尖术后 2 年发生的局灶性骨质疏松性骨髓缺陷，该病例具有临床、影像学和组织病理学特征。根据文献检索，这是首例由牙种植体引起这种现象的报道。国际口腔颌面种植学会杂志 2011 年；26：e1-e4。
