Recent research has focused on the prevalence and management of condensing osteitis and thus has pointed out the need for further investigation into its pathophysiology and treatment. For instance, studies on the frequency and distribution of mandibular condensing osteitis in specific populations, such as the Taiwanese population, have provided ...
