“…However, unlike PD in humans, MPPD commonly progresses to necrotising osteomyelitis of the mandible or maxilla, with the formation of sequestra and proliferation of subperiosteal bone subsequently leading to bone deformity in the jaw (the characteristic ‘lumpy jaw’). The progression to osteomyelitis, suppurative inflammation and necrosis of adjacent soft tissues observed in macropods is rare in humans 3 , 28 . In humans, early colonisers, such as Streptococcus spp.…”

“…Thus, sequestrectomy reduces the bioburden, prevents further spread and the establishes a good blood supply to the remaining bone enabling host defense mechanisms and the antibiotics administered to reach the site. 16 It is therefore imperative to maintain good blood supply to the remaining bone. Extraoral approaches by resection of mandible leads to extensive periosteal and muscular stripping compromising the centripetal blood supply in an already compromised centrifugal blood supply from the Inferior alveolar artery due to resection.…”

“…This leads to a further compromise in the blood supply that makes it impossible for the host defense mechanisms to reach the site leading to the progressive nature of the disease. Thus, sequestrectomy reduces the bioburden, prevents further spread and the establishes a good blood supply to the remaining bone enabling host defense mechanisms and the antibiotics administered to reach the site 16 . It is therefore imperative to maintain good blood supply to the remaining bone.…”
