Research on Osteomyelitis of Jaws

The exact definition of osteomyelitis is inflammation of the osseous medulla. Most osteomyelitis in long bones arise from either local extension or hematogenous spread, but in maxillofacial skeleton, the spread is mostly by local extension from skin, oral cavity, or paranasal sinuses. It is a relatively uncommon complication in patients undergoing extraction with normal immune function status because of the perceived excellent vascularity in this region of the body. Highest rates of osteomyelitis are noted in patients with vascular insufficiency and immune dysfunction as well as in those with bone metabolic abnormalities.

Osteomyelitis of the jaw, a formerly frequent disease in developed countries, is now seldom encountered due to the development of antibiotics, improved oral hygiene, and better access to medical care. To date, it is composed of a variety of heterogeneous infections of the mandible and maxilla that mostly includes primary suppurative osteomyelitis of the jaw and infection complicating osteonecrosis following a cancer treatment. Various conditions such as oral surgery, cancer, traumatism, radiotherapy, bisphosphonate therapy, and immunodepression are known to be risk factors, but relevant new data on osteomyelitis are scarce due to low disease prevalence and disease heterogeneity.

Our Services

Osteomyelitis of the jaws refers to osteomyelitis (which is infection and inflammation of the bone marrow, sometimes abbreviated to OM) which occurs in the jawbone (i.e. maxilla or the mandible). Historically, osteomyelitis of the jaws was a common complication of odontogenic infection (infections of the teeth). Before the era of antibiotic, it was frequently a fatal condition.
