case_images: Orthopantomography demonstrating bilateral poorly defined multilocular radiolucent areas in the mandible involving the posterior body, angle, and coronoid process. There was impaction of several teeth in the maxilla and the second molars in the lower jaw. There was root resorption of the tooth #18, 19, and 31.

case_images: Orthopantomography (OPT) showed characteristic features of cherubism (Figure 1), which were confirmed by computed tomography (CT) (Figure 2(a)).
case_images: 3D reconstruction of computed tomography at start of treatment (a) and after 35 months of treatment (b). Notice the massive lateral expansion of the lesions as well as severe cortical thinning at start of treatment. After 35 months, lesions were reduced in size and largely ossified facilitating future corrective surgery.

case_images: Orthopantomography (OPT) showed characteristic features of cherubism (Figure 1), which were confirmed by computed tomography (CT) (Figure 2(a)). CT (Figure 2(b)) demonstrated a significant reduction in size and ossification of the lesions, resulting in less prominent facial features characteristic for cherubism while normal dental development continued. Considering the results obtained, it was agreed that contour corrections were to be postponed after completion of skeletal growth.
