This document provides an overview of chronic osteomyelitis. It begins with definitions and describes the pathogenesis as bacteria reaching the metaphysis, causing inflammation and tissue necrosis. Imaging can detect bone changes like lytic lesions. Diagnosis involves biopsy for culture and histology. Chronic osteomyelitis is characterized by infected dead bone (sequestrum) surrounded by sclerotic bone (involucrum) that forms draining sinus tracts. Multiple organisms are often present and biofilm formation complicates treatment. Differential diagnosis includes tuberculosis, soft tissue infection, and tumors.
The document discusses osteomyelitis, which is an inflammatory condition of bone that begins as an infection of the medullary cavity and spreads to involve the periosteum. It can be acute or chronic, and is caused by bacteria or fungi entering via trauma or a blood-borne route. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and pus drainage. Diagnosis involves medical imaging and biopsy. Treatment involves antibiotics, drainage of pus, debridement of infected tissue, and sometimes surgery. Chronic osteomyelitis can be difficult to treat and may require repeated surgeries. Risk factors include reduced blood supply to bone from conditions like diabetes.
Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory condition of bone that usually begins as an infection of the bone marrow. It can spread rapidly through the bone tissue. There are several classifications of osteomyelitis including acute vs chronic forms and suppurative (pus-forming) vs non-suppurative. Common causes include spread from nearby infected tissues, trauma or surgery, or hematogenous spread from other infections. Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause. Imaging like x-rays, CT and MRI can help identify bone changes. Treatment involves antibiotics, sometimes implanted directly into the bone, along with surgical drainage or debridement of infected tissues.
Chronic osteomyelitis is a bone infection that lasts for over 3 months. It can develop from acute infections becoming chronic due to highly resistant host factors, sub-virulent microbes, or less numerous microbes. Common causes are odontogenic infections, fractures, trauma, and hematogenous spread. Symptoms include pain, swelling and draining sinuses. Radiographically, there may be moth-eaten bone destruction, sequestra, and periosteal reaction over time. Treatment involves draining any abscesses, debriding necrotic tissue, identifying the pathogen, and long-term antibiotics.
This document provides information about osteomyelitis, including:
1) Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of bone caused by an infecting organism that may remain localized or spread through the bone. Common causes are bacteria or fungi entering through a break in the skin or spreading via blood.
2) It can be classified as acute (less than 2 weeks), subacute (2-6 weeks), or chronic (over 6 weeks) based on duration of symptoms. It can also be classified based on mechanism of infection such as exogenous (from outside trauma/surgery) or hematogenous (from another infectious site).
3) Staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen. Risk factors

Osteoradionecrosis is a severe complication arising from head and neck radiotherapy. Mainly affecting the posterior mandible, it often manifests in molars and premolars. Common risk factors include high radiation doses, teeth extractions, and smoking. In the context of treatment, ORN can be categorized into four grades (1-4) based on severity.
Key Points:
Incidence: Occurs in approximately 7.5% of cases, with a median onset time of 8 months post-radiotherapy.
Risk Factors:
Higher incidence with elevated mean radiation doses to the mandible.
Smoking and pre-radiotherapy dental extractions significantly increase the risk.
Treatment Approaches:
Conservative management for early stages.
Surgical interventions include sequestrectomy (Stage 2) and, in severe cases, resection (Stage 3, involving mandibulectomy).
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may aid in non-healing cases.
Prevention:
Precise dose planning tailored to individual patients crucial for minimizing risks.
Consideration of patient-specific factors, such as smoking and dental history, in treatment planning.
ORN underscores the importance of meticulous treatment planning and individualized approaches to minimize this debilitating complication.
Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory condition of bone that involves the medullary cavity and has a tendency to progress along this space and involve the adjacent cortex, periosteum, and soft tissue. It is commonly caused by odontogenic infections or trauma. Staphylococcus aureus accounts for 80% of jaw osteomyelitis cases. The infection initiates from a contiguous focus or hematogenous spread and causes inflammation, tissue necrosis, pus formation, and bone destruction if not properly treated. Without treatment, it can progress to chronic stages involving bone lysis, sequestrum formation, and involucrum development.

For each classification, it provides details on clinical features, pathogenesis, radiographic findings, and treatment approaches.
Paget disease and osteomyelitis are bone disorders characterized by abnormal bone remodeling. Paget disease commonly affects individuals over 40 and involves thickening and deformity of bones from excessive bone resorption and formation. Osteomyelitis is a severe bone infection that can be caused by trauma, poor vascular supply, or hematogenous spread. It involves infection of the bone marrow and can lead to bone death, impaired growth, and skin infections if left untreated. Treatment involves antibiotics and sometimes surgery to remove infected bone.
Osteomyelitis is an infection of bone and bone marrow that was coined in 1834 and includes three root words - osteon, myelo, and itis. It may remain localized or spread through the bone. It is classified based on duration as acute (<2 weeks), subacute (2 weeks to 3 months), or chronic (>3 months). Three basic mechanisms allow infection to reach bone: hematogenous spread, contagious source, or direct implantation. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, and localized swelling, erythema, and tenderness. Diagnosis involves aspirating pus for smear and culture, blood tests like ESR and CRP, and imaging like x-rays, CT, or MRI

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

2. DEFINITION:
Osteomyelitis is an extensive inflammation of the medullary
portion of the bone
-Topazin 2002
It is an extensive inflammation of the bone. It also involves
cancellous bone marrow, cortex and periosteum.
- Peterson, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 4th Edition

400 BC-Hippocrates was first person to describe OML of
spine.
1736,William Hey,described the OML of tibia.
1787,Samuel Copper described chronic OML,in tibia
1873,Augustec Nelation was the first person to describe
chronic OML in mandible

17. ETIOLOGY
Contiguous focus of infection (local odontogenic or
non -odontogenic).
Hematogenous (spread) dissemination.
Osteomyelitis associated with intrinsic bony
pathology or peripheral vascular diseases.
Australian Dental Journal 2005;50:(3):200-203
18. CONTIGUOUS FOCUS OF
INFECTION
Odontogenic infections
Periapical
Periodontal
Pericoronal
Infected cyst/tumor
Infected extraction wound/fracture site
Specific infection
Tb
Syphilis
Actinomycosis
Other causes
Local traumatic injuries
Infected odontomes
Hematogenous infections
19. PATHOGENESIS
Persistent source of infection
destruction of the protective barrier
Organism is introduced deep into underlying tissues
Acute immflamation
Intense neutrophilic infiltration, hyperemia, increased
capillary permeability and infiltration of granulocytes.
Necrosis of involved bone and tissue
20. Pus accumulates, intermedullary pressure increases, resulting in
vascular collapse, venous stasis and ischemia.
Pus travels through the haversian
and nutrient canals
Subperiosteal abscess
Ischemic necrosis of bone
Compression of neurovascular bundle
Mucosal and cutaneous abscess and fistula may develop .
22. CHRONIC
OSTEOMYELITIS
It is persistent disease of bone, characterized by the
immflammatory process, including necrosis of mineral &the
marrow tissue,suppuration,resorption,sclerosis and
hyperplasia.
Causes of chronic osteomyelitis:
• Mainly by odontogenic microorganisms.
• Complication of dental extractions & surgery, maxillofacial trauma
• Inadequate treatment of a fracture, and/or irradiation
to the mandible.
• Inadequate antibiotic treatment
23. OCCURS MAINLY DUE
TO:
Ability of the microorganisms to resist antibiotics
and evade host defense.
Virulence of microorganism
Mostly associated with resistant microorganism
Actinomycoses ,Eikenella corrodens, MRSA
species.
25. CLINICAL FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
Scattered areas of the bone destruction “moth eaten”
appearance due to enlargement of medullary spaces &
widening of Volkmann’s canal.
Bone destruction with islands i.e. sequestra, with a trabecular
pattern. Sheath of new-bone (involucrum) is often found
separated from the sequestra by zone of radiolucency.
Subperiosteal deposition of bone giving stippled /granular
appearance

44. CT FINDINGS
Tanaka et al 2008 described CT findings of chronic
osteomyelitis of the mandible: three types
the bone-defect pattern
frosted-glass pattern
compact-bone pattern
Dent maxillofacial Radiology (2008) 37, 94-103
46. SCINTIGRAPHY
Radionucleide scanning changes are seen as early
as 3 days.
Technetium (Tc-99m) labeled phosphate compound
are given intravenously
Tc-99m concentrate in areas of increased
osteoblastic activity and later imaged with a
scintillation camera or scanner
Scintigraphy can confirm a diagnosis of very early
osteomyelitis.
Dent maxillofacial Radiology,2006;35:232-35.
47. 99mTc labels the phosphate ions of the bone and
reveals any osteoblastic or osteoclastic activity
within the affected bone.
67Ga images the infective focus, as radiogallium
bound to granulocytes and the osteoclasts. Positive
Gallium scan confirm the presence of infective
process.
48. 99mTc scan with 67Ga aids in distinguishing OML from malignancy and
trauma. Positive findings on both scan indicates infectious disease.
When Tc scan is positive and Ga scan is negative then OML is not
the primary disease
If 67Ga uptake exceeds 99mTc uptake it indicates active inflammatory
disease.
In chronic OML 67Ga uptake is reduced in the follow up scans is
useful indicator for termination of the therapy of OML.
