Doctors Grow, Transplant Jaw Bone in Man
Undated handout CT scan showing the new jaw bone in place (left). The picture on the right hand side shows continued bone growth after the transplant (arrows). Doctors in Kiel, Germany have rebuilt a man's face using a new jaw grown on his back. Nine years after eating his last solid meal, the 56-year-old man - whose jaw was surgically removed in a cancer operation - ate bread and sausages in the hospital. (AP Photo\Handout\The Lancet)

i as a teen had something like that happen to me -
had a tooth go abscess. and the poison from the tooth in the roots eat up my jaw bone
was not a good thing ! i got lucky and they got all the crap out of the root system but had to keep going back for x-rays to make sure decay was taken care of and jaw bone regrow .
they had to slice my mouth open and do what the Dr. said was major surgery . i remember it was done in the hospital - not in the dentist office
