Ischemic Osteosclerosis
(Bone Scar)

More than 40% of long bone cases of osteonecrosis show areas of osteosclerosis, but this is much less common with jaw lesions.  Here an irregular radiopacity extends from the crest to the inferior alveolar canal between the molars.  Two small areas of radiolucency are in it, one just below the crestal cortex.
