Euro Dentistry Congress 2019: Osteomyelitis of jaws: From diagnosis to treatment - Akram Belmehdi - Mohamed V University Rabat

 Akram Belmehdi

 Osteomyelitis (OM) is an inflammatory process of the bone. In the maxillofacial skeleton, usually both medullary and cortical bone are involved, hence the term is most often used to describe the inflammatory process in the basal and alveolar bone.   OMs are now rare in western European countries indicating not only the values of antibiotics and early treatment but the importance of predisposing factors such as poor nutrition, chronic debilitating illness and gross untreated disease.
