It is a well documented fact that most of the cases of Maxillofacial Osteomyelitis occur in the mandibular region as compared to the maxilla.Osteomyelitis of maxilla is rare because of extensive bloodsupply & strut like bone of the maxilla make it less prone to chronic infection.We report a case ofOsteomyelitis involving part of the Maxilla in a 45year old female patient, diabetic for the past6 years.
