Any changes in the mouth or jaw from their normal appearance could be a warning sign for a possible pathological disease. These changes may be seen clinically, on X-ray, or a combination of the two. Treatment of the jaw pathology or disease may include the removal of various cysts or growths in the jaw bone and any or all infected teeth, if indicated.
The disease can also be associated with any soft tissue areas of the oral cavity and throat, as well as the remainder of the head and neck.
