STRATEGIES FOR PREDICTING AND PREVENTING COMPLICATIONS IN THE CONVENTIONAL THERAPY OF MAXILLARY OSTEOMYELITIS

Abstract
Osteomyelitis of the maxilla presents a unique clinical course due to its specific anatomical location (proximity to the maxillary sinus, orbit, and pterygopalatine fossa) and its porous bone structure. Conventional therapy, consisting of surgical necrectomy and systemic antibiotics, does not always yield the desired outcome and is often complicated by severe conditions such as oro-antral fistulas, spread of infection to adjacent areas, and sepsis. The absence of clear criteria for predicting the risk of these complications makes the choice of treatment tactics challenging. Therefore, identifying risk factors based on modern diagnostic methods and clinical data, developing predictive models for complications, and creating individualized prevention strategies based on them is a crucial and urgent task in maxillofacial surgery.
