Chronic Suppurative Osteomyelitis in Anterior Maxilla: A Rare Variety.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory disease of infectious origin. Progressive destruction of bone and sequestra formation are hallmark of osteomyelitis. Due to extensive vascular supply of maxilla it is less prone to infection, hence maxillary osteomyelitis is rare as compared to osteomyelitis of mandible. We report a case of chronic suppurative maxillary osteomyelitis in a 40 year old male patient. CT scan was advised to confirm diagnosis which ultimately got confirmed by histopathologic reports. Patient underwent surgical resection and proper antibiotic therapy was given. Satisfactory healing was seen and long term follow up was done to check for recurrence.
