Tx of Osteomyelitis
Teeth should be extracted only when necessaryand antibiotics should be given prior to andfollowing the surgical procedure.
Massive doses of antibiotics, usually one of thepenicillin drugs, are given for at least six weeks. A surgeon may perform a bone biopsy to see if
an abscess has formed on the bone. If an
abscess is found, antibiotics are given andsurgery is performed to remove the abscess. If pus has formed, it is sometimes necessary to
drain the bone by drilling holes in it.
