Bone disease, Osteomyelitis, Histopathology, TreatmentAbstract
Inflammatory diseases of the jaw bone can encompass a variety of conditions, characterized by the presence of inflammation in the maxillary or mandibular bones. Osteomyelitis, a bacterial infection of the bone, is one of the most notable examples. The jawbone's complex anatomy, including its proximity to vital structures such as nerves and sinuses, means that inflammatory diseases can lead to significant complications. Early intervention is crucial for preventing irreversible damage and alleviating pain. As research continues, new horizons are emerging in understanding the mechanisms behind inflammatory diseases of the jaw bone. Advances in molecular biology and genetics are paving the way for targeted therapies and personalized medicine approaches. This paper aimed to categorized bone infections into. Meanwhile, a brief histopathological feature, radiographic appearance and treatment modality for each entity was provided.
