Abstract
Refractory and atypical cases of osteomyelitis of the jaws are increasing with the emergence ot resistant bacteria. Treatment ot this condition can be agonizing. Here, we report a study conducted of 109 cases diagnosed with osteomyelitis of the jaws at the First Department of Oral and Maxillofaciat Surgery, Osaka Dental University Hospital during the past 1O years. The cases were classified as Type A (acute suppurative osteomyelitis), 5 cases ; Type B (chronic suppurative osteomyelitis), 76 cases ; and Type C (chronic diffuse sclerosing os-
