Mini Review
Microbiological Research And Multidisciplinary Management Play A Crucial Role
Author(s): Delphine Mauprivez*

The diagnosis of primary chronic osteomyelitis of the jaw was made in a 15-year-old girl with a history of recurrent severe orofacial swelling based on clinical symptoms, histological analysis, and imaging modalities. The results of the initial microbiological samples were inconclusive. She used NSAIDs and several empirical antibiotic treatments for three years without achieving full remission. The ultimate diagnosis of bacterial chronic osteomyelitis of the jaw could only be made by MALDI-TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight) analysis after further numerous microbiological bone samples with suitable methods. To reduce treatment failure, it must be managed using a multidisciplinary strategy comprising oral and maxillofacial surgeons, infectiologists, and microbiologists. The entire radiographic resolution of the CBCT (Cone Beam Comput.. Read More»
