Cavitations are an area of dead bone caused by a dearth of blood flow to that part of the bone.[1] A cavitation is a hole in the blood vessel that cannot be visually detected with the naked eye.[2] Jawbone cavitations, also called neuralgia inducing osteonecrosis (NICO), are extraction sites in the tooth that have not healed.[3]
