Diagnosing maxillofacial pathologies is challenging as they comprise various tissues, especially the jaws, due to presence of teeth and their remnants. However, it becomes difficult when lesion asymptomatic, critical rule out whether there anatomical or pathological variation. As a result, mandatory analyze jawbone before considering dental treatments like implants. The current case presents rare developmental multilocular bilateral mandibular defect, marking its first publication in...
