What Researchers Did
Researchers described a clinical case of mandibular osteomyelitis in a healthy 31-year-old man following third molar removal.
What They Found
A 31-year-old man developed severe mandibular osteomyelitis after third molar extraction, leading to recurrent abscesses. Despite intensive treatment with antibiotics, surgical debridement, and hyperbaric oxygen, a partial resection of the mandible was ultimately required to manage the complication.
