- PURPOSE: To compare the case of widespread maxillary osteomyelitis treated through different approach. METHOD: We report the two case of osteomyelitis. In a case, we had gradually removed the small amount of sequestrum for several times. In the other case, intended Le Fort I fracture was done to approach the lesion.

In the other case, after intended Le Fort I down fracture, sequestrectomy of Lt. maxilla was done with the labiobuccal alveolar bone preserved for the prosthodontic treatment.
