Osteomyelitis is a serious bone infection that can be caused by bacteria or fungi, often entering the bone through an open wound, surgical site, or bloodstream. The condition can lead to inflammation, pain, and bone damage, requiring prompt and effective treatment. At nu face maxillofacial & dental implant centre, we specialize in the comprehensive management of osteomyelitis, beginning with an accurate diagnosis through advanced imaging and laboratory tests. Treatment typically involves the use of targeted antibiotics or antifungal medications, sometimes for an extended period.
This type is caused by bacterial infections, typically requiring aggressive antibiotic therapy and, in severe cases, surgical removal of the infected bone tissue to prevent further spread.
Less common, fungal osteomyelitis requires specialized antifungal treatment and careful surgical management to eradicate the infection and promote bone healing.
When the cause of the bone infection is unknown, treatment focuses on broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapies and may include surgical exploration to identify and address any underlying issues.
At nu face maxillofacial & dental implant centre, our treatment approach begins with a precise diagnosis using advanced imaging and testing. We then develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to the patient's specific needs, often incorporating minimally invasive surgical techniques to ensure effective results with minimal downtime.
