Facial Bone Infection: Surgery to Remove Inflammation

In osteomyelitis, the facial bones and surrounding soft tissue become inflamed due to a bacterial infection, such as Staphylococcus aureus, which may have spread from an infected tooth. An abscess cavity, or pocket of infection, in the bone may also be present. The provider excises the diseased bone to control the infection and prevent further spread.
