Abstract

A case of subperiosteal mandibular osteomyelitis and its clinical treatment are presented. Osteomyelitis was suspected to have been caused by dental implant surgery. The patient showed severe bone resorption of the temporomandibular joint, mandibular muscular process, and mandibular ramus after dental implant surgery. To treat the osteomyelitis and save the implant, decortication,continuous arterial infusion of antibiotics, irrigation of the postdéblidement dead space with antibiotics and intravenous antibiotic chemotherapy were carried out. This case report demonstrates the risk of dental implant surgery as a cause of subperiosteal mandibular osteomyelitis, and describes the basic treatment principle of subperiosteal mandibular osteomyelitis caused by dental implant surgery.
