Abstract

Osteomyelitis remains uncommon in contemporary medicine, largely due to the advent of antibiotics and increased emphasis on dental hygiene. Typically, of infectious origin, osteomyelitis is an inflammatory bone disease. The mandible is more susceptible than the maxilla due to its robust blood supply and structure. This case study involves a 47-year-old male who presented to the oral and maxillofacial surgery department with purulent discharge following extraction of the upper left molars. A CBCT scan revealed a radiolucent lesion in the left maxilla, initially suspected to be mucormycosis due to the patient's elevated HbA1C levels and history of COVID-19 infection. However, biopsy confirmed osteomyelitis of the left maxilla. The patient underwent surgical excision and achieved favorable outcomes with appropriate antibiotic therapy and effective glycemic control.
