Oftenthe maxillofacial region is involved due to improper treatment, compromised immunity, fracture, or anyother reason. It is due to the inoculation of bacteria because of multiple factors. The diagnosis is based onclinical findings, radiographs, and lab findings. Osteomyelitis is managed by both conservative and surgicalmanagement.
