Abstract
Pycnodysostosis is a rare sclerosing bone disorder. Complications such as osteomyelitis and fracture of the jaws are not uncommon and difficult to treat. Treatment by reconstruction with a reconstruction plate and an iliac bone graft fails in most cases. We report a case of pycnodysostosis with osteomyelitis and fracture of the mandible that was successfully treated with vascularised iliac bone graft. We believe that this procedure is the best method for the treatment of this condition.
