| Popis: |
Maxillary osteomyelitis is a relatively rare presentation. This condition is more often associated with underlying immunocompromised systemic conditions. Thorough clinical examination coupled with meticulous investigative protocol is needed to prevent the dreaded complications associated with the disease. With the emergence of new antibiotics and the use of advanced imaging modalities, the management of such patients has been better over the recent years. Oral physicians play a major role by providing primary care in the early diagnosis of such lesions, especially in immunocompromised patients, thereby improving the patient's quality of life. The present report highlights an atypical presentation of maxillary osteomyelitis in a newly diagnosed diabetic patient, with the importance of appropriate diagnostic workup, and prompt institution of treatment resulting in complete recovery. |
