PERUMAL, CJ; SINGH, AS e RAJKUMAR, K. Chronic suppurative osteomyelitis of the maxilla and zygomatic bone: a treatment challenge and the importance of early surgical exploration. S. Afr. dent. j. [online]. 2016, vol.71, n.9, pp.412-414. ISSN 0375-1562.
Ostemyelitis of the maxilla rarely occurs.1 Treating this condition presents a challenge to the Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon as a result of the diverse clinical and radiographic presentations which influence the choice of the treatment modalities. This case report highlights the importance of early surgical exploration in patients with chronic suppurative osteomyelitis of the maxillary and zygomatic bones that has remained refractory to prolonged antibiotic treatment.
