The treatment of chronic mandibular osteomyelitis
involves thorough surgical debridement and prolonged
antimicrobial therapy.0 In addition, appropriate fluid
therapy, nutrient intake, hyperbaric oxygen, antibiotic
containing acrylic beads, microvascular grafts, and
sufficient rest may be useful.0,0,00 Surgical therapy
consists of sequestrectomy or decortication with
saucerization of the affected bone, as well as the
removal of necrotic tissues, broken teeth, and roots.0,00
Surgery has become more important for treating
chronic mandibular osteomyelitis. Adjunctive hyper
baric oxygen therapy may be included in the more
refractory forms of osteomyelitis of the jaws. It is used
to enhance the local and regional immune response of
the jaws and to produce microvascular neoangiogen
esis to increase reperfusion
