Aseptic necrosis of the mandible: Report of two cases

Mycobacterial and Plasmodium ovale‐associated destruction of the jaw bones

“…The data obtained in this study provide direct evidence to support the conclusion that M. tuberculosis plays a major role in this particular type of jaw bone destruction (Khullar et al, 2016) third edition, 1987;Castelli, 1963;Lanigan & West, 1990;Lownie et al, 1980). The spreading to cervical lymph nodes and then to the mandible from the hilar lymph nodes is made possible via the lymphohematogenous route (Heney et al, 1988).…”

Partial Bone Necrosis Following Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy: Report of a Complicated Orthognathic Jaw Surgery

“…4,15,16 Lanigan and West have also reported a case of aseptic necrosis of a large segment of bone following SSO extending from the first molar and involving most of the ramus without significant clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of the extensive underlying process. 7 In general, the relationship between ischemic bone necrosis and the presence of infection after orthognathic surgery varies in the literature. Bone sequestration secondary to ischemic necrosis forms the most significant factor that may predispose to infection postoperatively.…”

“…16 However, inexplicably, aseptic necrosis of large bone segments with no clinical signs of infection or osteomyelitis has also been reported. 7 Overall, infection after orthognathic surgery is an extremely rare occurrence, even with the absence of prophylactic antibacterial, with most cases usually occur following the mandibular surgery. 16,17 We propose that a confluence of several factors relevant to the anatomy of our patient's mandible and the surgical techniques of the initial intervention had resulted in the incidence of this complication.…”
