Extra oral bone in mandible area 45 what can this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible sebaceous : When you say extra oral, I assume it is under the skin on your face. In this area, growths, such as sebaceous cysts are not uncommon. They can be very firm or soft. Minimal pain associated is common. Have the area examined by an Oral and maxillofacial surgeon, ENT doctor or general surgeon. A biopsy initially would be common.

A member asked:
I've read articles saying that removing lower wisdom teeth will cause jawline to recede, as bone is not static but constantly slowly evolving, and that removal of wisdom teeth removes stimulus from mandible. Is this true? What does the evidence say?
