Chronic suppurative osteomyelitis of posterior maxilla: A rare presentation
Thin cortical bone rich in vascularity makes the maxilla scarcely vulnerable to osteomyelitis as compared to mandible. Moreover, the introduction of newer antibiotics, understanding of pathogenesis and improved medical support lead to reduction in incidence of osteomyelitis. Local factors like conti...

description | Thin cortical bone rich in vascularity makes the maxilla scarcely vulnerable to osteomyelitis as compared to mandible. Moreover, the introduction of newer antibiotics, understanding of pathogenesis and improved medical support lead to reduction in incidence of osteomyelitis. Local factors like continuous irritation, smoking and suppressed immune system contributes to the occurrence of suppurative osteomyelitis. We hereby, report an exceptional case of chronic suppurative osteomyelitis of posterior maxilla in a 42-year-old healthy male who was managed successfully by combination of antibiotics, surgical sequestrectomy and debridement. |
