Comment on “Streptococcus anginosus Dental Implant-Related Osteomyelitis of the Jaws: An Insidious and Calamitous Entity”

We read the article by Chatelain et al1 on a case series of patients with dental implant-related suppurative osteomyelitis of the jaws (DIOMJ) from Streptococcus anginosus. This article described and analyzed data from a series of patients with S anginosus DIOMJ, emphasizing the aggressiveness of this particular pathologic entity. It is indeed characterized by deep neck space abscess formation requiring extraoral drainage, several surgical debridement procedures, radical surgical reconstructive procedures, prolonged anti-biotherapy (average, 9 months), and bacterial penicillin resistance.
