Welcome to an educational journey with Charles Buist, your guide in the realm of dental malpractice law. Today's video sheds light on osteomyelitis, a severe bone infection, and its connection to dental procedures, particularly how dental malpractice might result in this alarming condition.

We delve into an illustrative scenario: A patient enters the dental office for a wisdom tooth extraction. Unbeknownst to the patient, a fracture occurs during the procedure, unbeknownst to the patient, leading to subsequent development of osteomyelitis. Despite the patient's repeated complaints of pain, the dentist neglects the issue for months. When another doctor finally diagnoses osteomyelitis, the delay in treatment has allowed the disease to progress, leading to a significant loss of jawbone, nerve damage, and the need for extensive reconstructive surgery and bone transplants.

While this is a stark example, such instances are unfortunately not unheard of. Osteomyelitis can emerge from other procedures like extractions of teeth or dental implants. Essentially, any procedure that exposes the bone to bacteria holds the potential for developing osteomyelitis.

So, what types of osteomyelitis cases link back to dental malpractice? Infections, including osteomyelitis, are an inherent risk of dental procedures. Therefore, to claim dental malpractice, one must establish that the infection's genesis was due to negligence rather than the routine risk of infection from a procedure. In our illustrative case, the dentist's negligence in addressing the fractured jaw paved the path for osteomyelitis, hence making a strong case for dental malpractice.

If you or a loved one has suffered from osteomyelitis after a dental procedure, especially if it emerged due to a fractured jaw from a wisdom tooth extraction, you may have legal options.
