Fatty Degenerative Osteonecrosis of the Jawbone reads like a mouthful, and the mechanics are simpler than the name: bone that never fully filled in after an extraction, colonized by anaerobic bacteria, sealed under healthy-looking gum. Wisdom tooth sites lead the list because those extractions happen young and heal unsupervised.
The site itself rarely hurts. The load shows up elsewhere, as fatigue, sinus trouble on one side, facial tenderness, or inflammatory markers a physician keeps measuring without sourcing. Cavitations are a standing item on the checklist functional medicine sends patients here to clear.
Screening and surgery
CBCT imaging reads bone density in three dimensions and surfaces voids that flat films average away. Treatment is direct: surgical debridement of the degenerated tissue, ozone disinfection on contact, and LPRF from your own blood packed into the cleaned site. The full protocol follows Dr. Litano’s Swiss BioHealth training, and follow-up imaging confirms bone fill.
Why patients travel for this procedure
Cavitation-literate surgeons are scarce, which is why this procedure fills the apartment above our clinic more than any other. Patients fly into Tampa International, get scanned and planned on day one, and complete surgery with recovery support walking distance from Mirror Lake.
