1/27. Garre's osteomyelitis of an unusual origin in a 8-year-old child. A case report.Garre's osteomyelitis is a type of chronic osteomyelitis that primarily affects children and adolescents. Although the disease is well described in the dental literature and is usually associated with an odontogenic infection resulting from caries, a number of other causative factors have been occasionally reported, such as a dental extraction or a mild periodontitis. There have also been cases of unknown aetiology. This paper describes a case of Garre's osteomyelitis in an 8-year-old child, in whom the condition arose following a local periodontal infection in an ectopically erupting first permanent molar that was in infraocclusion. The lesion remained unresolved for a period of over 6 months as a result of misdiagnosis, following a number of unsuccessful treatment attempts. Identification of the true cause and treatment through periodontal surgery resulted in lesion resolution and resolved the diagnostic problem. dentists should be aware that the periodontium may be a potential source of infection for Garre's osteomyelitis in children, particularly in the presence of ectopically erupting posterior teeth. In such cases, periodontal treatment should be sufficient to treat the disease and extraction of the tooth involved may not be necessary.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/27. osteomyelitis complicating osteopetrosis--a case report.osteomyelitis of the jaws is uncommon but can be a complication of extraction or exposure of teeth in patients who are immunosuppressed or have undergone radiotherapy to the head and neck region. We report a case of osteomyelitis in a patient who has osteopetrosis. The initial clinical presentation was that of an infected retained root, secondary to denture trauma to the supporting tissues. Radiological interpretation was difficult owing to the increased bone density and surgical exploration revealed only a dense region of necrotic bone.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/27. Otolaryngological complications of osteopetrosis.osteopetrosis is a rare inherited bone disease that affects both humans and various mammals. The authors report on two cases of osteopetrosis with otolaryngological complications. One patient had the childhood form and presented with chronic otitis media and brain abscess. The second patient had the adult form and presented with sinusitis from tooth extraction which developed into chronic osteomyelitis of the maxillary bone.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/27. epidural abscess and osteomyelitis due to actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a microaerophilic, fastidious Gram-negative rod that most commonly causes periodontitis and odontogenic infections. We report the first case of an epidural abscess and osteomyelitis due to this organism resulting from self-extraction of carious teeth. The patient responded to surgical debridement and prolonged antimicrobial therapy with intravenous ceftriaxone.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/27. Recalcitrant osteomyelitis following tooth extraction in a case of malignant osteopetrosis.Malignant osteopetrosis generally begins in utero and often results in stillbirth. Besides, failure to thrive, increased bone fragility resulting in frequent fractures and recurrent bone infections are the other characteristic features. Infections after tooth extraction and fracture of the sclerotic bone following mild trauma are serious complications, as these ordinarily common problems are very difficult to treat in such patients. Poor bone vascularisation and reduced local defences prolong the defensive response. A rare case of malignant osteopetrosis in a 19-year-old girl, who presented with the complication of osteomyelitis of the mandible following tooth extraction, is presented. The case is of interest for two reasons: it is very rare for a case of malignant osteopetrosis to survive until adulthood and to be aware of the potential dental and oral complications of the disorder.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/27. Postoperative osteomyelitis due to mycobacterium fortuitum. A case report.A rare case of osteomyelitis of the tibia caused by mycobacterium fortuitum which developed after closed intramedullary Kuntscher nail fixation is reported. After extraction of the nail, combination therapy with antituberculous drugs, ofloxacin, and interleukin 2 was undertaken and bony union was achieved. Since a bone cyst formed during union, curettage and conventional cancellous bone grafting were performed. The patient is now pain-free even with prolonged weight-bearing. The success of treatment in this case is in contrast to other reports of the disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/27. Invasive fungal infection of the maxilla following dental extractions in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.We report on a 74-year-old male patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who developed an invasive fungal disease of the facial bones after several teeth were extracted. He had recently suffered an exacerbation of COPD, treated with a course of corticosteroid therapy. mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that has the ability to cause significant morbidity and frequently mortality in the susceptible patient. An overview of this class of pathogens and the history, examination findings (clinical and radiographic), pathogenesis and medical-surgical treatment of mucormycosis is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/27. Nonhealing extraction site due to actinomyces naeslundii in patient with AIDS.There are many oral complications of human immunodeficiency virus infection. One of the infectious sequelae is contamination and delayed healing of the tooth extraction site. We report a case of a nonhealing extraction site in a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Histologic and microbiologic evaluation determined the causative species of bacterium to be actinomyces naeslundii. diagnosis and treatment are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/27. osteomyelitis of the mandible: a complication of routine dental extractions in alcoholics.osteomyelitis is a rare sequel to a dental extraction. Three cases are described where osteomyelitis followed routine dental extractions in patients with a history of alcoholism. It is suggested that depression of the host's defences, due to alcoholism, modified the response to and the spread of this serious infection. Such patients represent a high risk group and should be identified prior to treatment to avoid unnecessary complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/27. osteitis deformans. Report of a long-standing case with extensive oral involvement.Presented is a case of osteitis deformans (Paget's disease of bone) with a 38-year history after diagnosis. The patient had nearly the entire spectrum of symptoms that can result from widespread involvement of the skeletal system with this disease. Diffuse involvement of the maxilla and mandible resulted in postextraction complications which are common in Paget's disease of the bone.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
