Children's Osteomielitis: Clinical Current, Diagnosis, and Treatment Methods
Downloads
The article reflects the etiology, clinical signs, pathogenesis, and modern treatment methods for jaw osteomyelitis in children. According to the results of scientific analysis, the main causes of the disease are odontogenic infections, reduced immunity, and the resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics. Early diagnosis of ostitis in children, comprehensive treatment, and preventive measures are crucial for preventing complications of the disease.
