Chronic osteomyelitis of the mandible is usually a difficult pathology to resolve. Treatment has included long-term antibiotics, and surgical debridement, aggressive in some cases. This paper reports a 54-year-old female with an eight-month-mandibular chronic osteomyelitis who was successfully treated with the combination of medication and surgical intervention.
