Journal Title: Journal of Stomatology (Czasopismo Stomatologiczne) - Year 2016, Vol 69, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of this study is to improve the effectiveness of treatment of drug addicted patients with osteomyelitis of the jaws by developing the basic principles of surgery. A total of eighty patients with chronic osteomyelitis of facial bones were examined and treated in the Kiev city clinical hospital №12 MFD №2 from 2012 to 2014. The average age of patients was 28.65 + 0,43 years, primarily males (77.2%). Medical history revealed that sixty patients (75%) had previously suffered from viral hepatitis (B, C), ten patients (12.5%) had been HIV-infected earlier. All the patients reported the use of the drug from the group of amphetamines – Pervitin («Vint”); however, half of the patients (50%) pointed out that they also used other drugs, including “shirka” (opiates) and “methadone” (derivative of heroin). During hospitalization, all the patients underwent a standard general medical examination, radiological evaluation (CT scanning) and a surgical intervention – sequestrectomy, sequestrnecrectomy, necrectomy, and resection of the affected part of the jaw.
