Yes that is very true! A guy had an infection just from having a BSSO with my surgeon, he had a biopsy sent to a lab to determine what the infection was, unfortunately it was serious enough that parts of his jaw had to be cut away and then the surgeon used part of his skull, ugh can't remember the right terminology but the bone near the brain, to rebuild his jaw.
Well, ppsk reported that it subsided on one side and started up on the other. So, let's hope not as bad as spreading to both. But still, the objective would be to clear the infection on the other side as much as possible prior to removal process.
Agree. Biopsy is good protocol to narrow down the infective agent. With periodontal pathogens, some respond to some ABs, others not and require different ones.
