Oral ulceration with bony sequestration

No convincing evidence

“…Sir, in reference to the case report letter Oral ulceration with bony sequestration (OUBS), I have seen two similar cases recently. 1 Both were over the left mylohyoid region and they healed uneventfully without any intervention other than saline mouthwashes.

“…Sir, we write in response to a case report letter to offer our opinion on the case report, likely aetiology of oral ulceration with bony sequestration (OUBS) for this patient and the recommended follow up in such cases. 1 We commend the author on a well-written case report with mention of the systematic review of the literature by Palla et al, 2 and highlighting the rarity of OUBS. The author also mentions the appropriate management with adequate oral hygiene, saline and chlorhexidine rinses.…”
