“…2 Furthermore, the third molars are by far the most commonly impacted, as they are the last to be formed and erupt in the oral cavity. 3 Impacted third molars are at a relatively high risk of development of various disorders and complications, 4 such as pericoronitis, caries, resorption, and periodontal problems, 5 and may even induce bone fractures and tumorigenesis. 6 Therefore, lower third molar extraction (LTME) has become a common yet vital dental treatment.…”

“…The other was a case of sclerosing osteomyelitis in the lower right third molar extraction space in a 21-year-old female that was treated with extensive decortication. Cases of condylar osteomyelitis due to an ectopic third molar in a 35-year-old female4 and a lower left third molar in a 37-year-old male5 have also been reported; treatment was extraction, curettage, and drainage. Very similar to our case, Tong et al6 reported a case of chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis affecting the mandibular angle of a 12-year-old male patient secondary to an un-erupted lower third molar.…”

In prolonged chronic osteomyelitis, chronic inflammation and low-grade infections can result in new periosteal bone formation. Chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis (traditionally termed Garré's sclerosing osteomyelitis) mainly affects children and young adults. Here, we present two rare cases of an 11-year-old and a 12-year-old patient with suppurative chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis without any definitive infection source, such as dental caries or periodontitis. The source of infection was likely to be related to the development of a lower right third molar germ with follicular space widening. Management involved antibiotics and the removal of the third molar germ and surgical debridement. Disease remission and a normal appearance was observed at the six-month follow-up visit.

“…This disorder mainly involves the mandible which is rarely attributed to the bisphosphonates therapy or radiotherapy or from bacterial infection from odontogenic origin. Other disease conditions which predispose to osteomyelitis are malignancy, osteoporosis and Paget's disease [8,9].…”

Introduction: Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory condition of bone that involves the medullary cavity and periosteum. The prevalence rate of this disease was found predominantly among the males than females with an incidence of 30-39 years. This condition involves one or more facial bones in the head and neck, mainly mandible, frontal bone, cervical spine, maxilla and nasal bones. Various types of osteomyelitis are acute, primary chronic suppurative and secondary chronic and fungal osteomyelitis. Aim: To assess the prevalence rate of osteomyelitis in jaws among the patients visiting private dental hospitals in chennai. Materials and Methods: This present study was carried out in a private dental hospital under a university setting, in Chennai. Sample size for the present study includes the patients who were diagnosed with osteomyelitis from Jun 2019 to Feb 2021 which was collected using the Dental hospital management system. Sample size of the study was found to be n= 5 cases of osteomyelitis in jaws among 5,35,951 patients. The data collected was verified and tabulated in excel and statistically analysed using SPSS software. Chi square test was done to compare the groups (p<0.05) which shows the significance and the results were interpreted. Results : Among the total patients, 40 % of them were males and 60 % of them were females. It was observed that 60 % of the subjects had acute osteomyelitis, 20 % with chronic suppurative and fungus associated osteomyelitis and found to be more prevalent among the individuals who were aged between 41-50 years. Majority of the females, 40% were highly affected with acute osteomyelitis than males, 20% of them were affected. However, p value less than 0.05 is considered as statistically significant, here the chi square test p value = 0.329, as (p > 0.05 ) it is insignificant. Conclusion: The prevalence of osteomyelitis has recently decreased in developing countries, as attributed to the improvement in the oral and dental care with standard antibiotic treatment. From the results of our study it is evident that out of 5 cases of osteomyelitis in jaws, the majority of patients 60% were diagnosed with acute osteomyelitis. This shows that there is a reliable prevalence of osteomyelitis in jaws among the patients who are visiting private dental hospitals.
