Abstract

A case report of sequestra formation in the oral cavity most probably as a sequelae of periodontal abscess in a diabetic patient is presented. The sequestra probably formed as a complication of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus rather than erythroleukemia. The lesion was located at the bifurcation area of the lower left second molar. Removal of the sequestra, scaling and a course of antibiotics managed to control the lesion.
