Abstract: A method of treating osteomyelitis of the jaws (OMJ) can include sequestrectomy (removing necrotic bone) using piezoelectric vibrations and decortication (creating bleeding spots) using piezoelectric vibrations. The OMJ can include secondary chronic OMJ caused by previous dental implant placements. The method can further include administering dual antibiotic therapy to the patient. The dual antibiotic therapy can include administering Augmentin and Metronidazole to the patient for a period of about three weeks.
