Oral and maxillofacial surgery·2025

A 20-year-old man with secondary osteomyelitis of the mandible experienced healing after surgical intervention and antibiotic therapy. This case highlights successful management of a rare oral infection.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Secondary osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection, often presenting with complex symptoms.
  • Intra-oral fistulae in the mandible can indicate underlying bone pathology.
  • Prompt diagnosis and targeted treatment are crucial for managing osteomyelitis.

Observation:

  • A 20-year-old male presented with multiple intra-oral fistulae in the anterior mandible.
  • Microbiologic cultures identified Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus para-influenzae, and alpha-haemolytic streptococci.
  • The patient's condition was diagnosed as secondary osteomyelitis.

Findings:

  • Surgical treatment included sequestrectomy and decortication.
  • Mobile teeth were stabilized using splinting techniques.

  • Antibiotic therapy involved initial intravenous administration followed by long-term oral treatment.

    • Implications:

    • This case demonstrates a successful multimodal treatment approach for mandibular osteomyelitis.
    • Effective management combines surgical debridement, dental stabilization, and appropriate antibiotic regimens.
    • Complete healing achieved suggests the efficacy of this treatment strategy in similar cases.
