  • Title: Osteomyelitis of the mandibular condyle secondary to dental extractions.
    Author: Wurman LH, Flannery JV, Sack JG.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg (1979); 1979; 87(2):190-8. PubMed ID: 503487.
    Abstract:
    Although osteomyelitis of the mandibular condyle secondary to dental extraction is scarcely mentioned in the medical and dental literature, we have seen three cases within a two-year period. The first two patients were examined for an eroded condyle three months and 18 months following the extractions. The third patient, who was treated one month after extraction for acute osteomyelitis of the condyle, has done well. All three patients required operations and administration of long-term antibiotics.
