Abstrakt:	As opposed to the popular assumption, there have been an increase in the cases of Oral Tuberculosis as of late. Owing to increased drug resistance, there has been a change in the disease pattern leading to an upsurge in the Extra-pulmonary Oral Tuberculosis. According to the WHO, Diagnosis is the first step in the control of TB; but due to the lack of pathognomonic signs associated with Oral Tuberculosis and the rarity of these lesions, diagnosis is often difficult. So, to enable a timely diagnosis, we point out the occurrence of such lesions in the post-operative refractory lesions in susceptible individuals. However, a thorough search of literature did not yield any conclusive results. In this paper we present the clinical, radiographic and histopathological findings of three cases between the ages of 5 and 50 years old who were diagnosed of Oral Tuberculosis. These patients have undergone a recent oral surgical procedure prior to the development of Oral TB lesions. More research is required to increase the awareness of the pattern of this disease and to enable a quicker diagnosis so that the overall morbidity and mortality is reduced.
