Jubonal osteomyelitis is a disease caused by infection of the jaw. It often involves periosteum, bone cortex and bone marrow tissue. Common ones include suppurative jaw osteomyelitis, infant osteomyelitis and radioactive osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis of the jaw can be divided into several types: suppurative, specific, radioactive, etc. Clinically, suppurative jaw osteomyelitis is the most common. There are three main sources of infection for osteomyelitis of jaw, namely odontogenic, damaging and hematogenic.
How does osteomyelitis of jaw cause
First, the most common cause is odontogenic cause, such as apical periarthritis of teeth, pulpitis, periodontitis , pericornitis of coronary inflammation, which introduces inflammation to jaw infection caused by jaw bone.
The second, the common reason is called glandular, that is, local infection, spreading local lymph tissue through the lymphatic system, resulting in the occurrence of osteomyelitis in the adjacent jaw .
The third one is blood-borne infection, which is an infection caused by the infection factors acting on the jaw bone through the action of the blood. These are the three most common causes of osteomyelitis of the jaw.
Of course, there are other things, such as jaw infection after trauma, radiation damage after radiation treatment, and osteomyelitis of the jaw after medication, all are possible. Therefore, the causes of osteomyelitis of jaw are multifaceted, and different causes also have different treatment priorities and methods.
Doctor's reminder: Osteomyelitis of the jaw is an infectious disease that occurs in the jaw, which is more common in the jaw, the upper jaw, and the zygomatic . The main source of infection is the teeth. If the inflammation of the teeth is not controlled in time and further develops and erodes the surrounding bones, it will cause osteomyelitis of the jaw. In addition, tumor radiation therapy or drug treatment for systemic diseases may also cause osteomyelitis of the jaw.
