Prosthetic Protection of a Healing Bone Defect Caused as a Result of Chronic Suppurative Osteomyelitis of the Mandible
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
Osteomyelitis of the jaws in any of its forms is rarely encountered by a prosthodontist for rehabilitation. Though acute forms of osteomyelitis are considered as dental emergency, its chronic forms are usually associated with the destruction of the jawbone in either maxilla or the mandible. Prosthetic protection is required temporarily till the lesion heals, but dental rehabilitation is required due to tooth loss. This article is a case report of a patient who had undergone surgery and required a device to protect the area. The design of such a device is also discussed along with the anatomy of the defect.
