Abstract :
Primary tuberculosis occurring in the bones of
the cranio-facial region is rare. Although there are various
screening and prevention programs for tuberculosis, it is
still an emerging disease worldwide, commonly in
developing countries. Incidence of tubercular osteomyelitis
in jaw bone is very low. . Here we report a case of primary
tuberculosis of the left side of the mandible in a 43 years
old female who came to visit us with persisting pain for 1
week after tooth extraction. Patient was treated as acute
osteomyelitis of mandible i.e curettage of bone done and
bone sample was sent for biopsy, and it was confirmed,
tubercular osteomyelitis. Patient had no history of any
systemic sign, symptoms of tuberculosis
