Abstract

This article presents a retrospective analysis of the clinical course of inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial region, particularly periostitis, in elderly and senile patients with diabetes mellitus. During the study, patients’ medical records were analyzed to assess the characteristics of disease progression, the manifestation of clinical symptoms, complications, and the effectiveness of treatment.

The results showed that in patients with diabetes mellitus, periostitis often presents with mild symptoms; however, the inflammatory process tends to spread rapidly, with a high risk of complications. In addition, wound healing is delayed, and recurrence is frequently observed.
