    Author: Luhr HG, Maerker R, Blümel J.
    Journal: Dtsch Zahnarztl Z; 1978 Nov; 33(11):814-8. PubMed ID: 367756.
    Abstract:
    Our experience with operative treatment of 70 patients with osteomyelitis of the mandible showed that the incision and drainage of soft-tissue abcesses combined with antibiotic therapy led to healing in 22 patients. More extensive measures, such as sequestectomy, decortication, resection of whole areas of the mandible, and transplantation of autologous cancellous bone, however were necessary with 48 of the patients. A detailed description of the various operative techniques was presented; the respective indications were mentioned.
