Head of the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, said that of the 16 patients with necrosis of the upper jaw, there were three cases of necrosis spreading up to the floor of the skull, involving many specialties, so this place was transferred to Hospital for surgery.
The remaining 13 cases were surgically removed from the necrotic upper jaw bone, followed by antibiotics for a minimum of three weeks.
It is expected that after 6 months of monitoring, if the condition is stable, does not recur, then the patient will be reconstructed, prosthetic of the upper jaw bone.
“Currently, the patients are fine, have not seen signs of relapse,” Dr. said.
According to Dr. , necrosis of the jaw bone usually occurs in the lower jaw because there are fewer nourishing blood vessels than the bones of the upper jaw.
