Abstract: Periostitis ossificans of the mandible is an unusual pathological condition. It is usually observed in children where a mandibular first molar commonly presented with extended caries. We describe a case where a boy 12 years old suffered from type-A periostitis ossificans with the typical radiological signs such as `onion skin` appearance. The management plan is discussed with great emphasis on the decision making.
