Abstract
This article analyzes the main factors causing periostitis — inflammation of the periosteum — in the upper and lower jawbones in elderly patients, a condition that occurs relatively rarely in this age group but has the potential for serious clinical consequences. The study thoroughly examines the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the aging body, immunological changes, chronic sources of infection, dental problems, metabolic disorders, and risks resulting from pharmacological treatments.
