It correlates with steady increase in the number of patients, involvement of people at young age, insufficient understanding of pathogenesis, severity of clinical course, low effect of current therapeutic agents, long periods of inability to work, high percentage of relapses and complications, resulting in disability and lethal outcome. The aim of the study. To analyze current scientific studies dealing with osteomyelitis, determine its occurrence, possible variants of the course and complications of osteomyelitis of the jaws among drug-addicted patients.
