未标记的阻生第三磨牙是转介到医院牙科服务的常见原因。第三磨牙嵌塞可因感染而复杂化。我们提出两例下颌骨骨髓炎发展继发于部分爆发的下第三磨牙冠周炎。报告的一个病例是最近诊断和治疗的，而另一个是20年前诊断和治疗的。最常见的报告病理与埋伏的下第三磨牙是冠周炎。继发于冠周炎的下颌骨骨髓炎是罕见的。临床相关性如果牙科医生能够区分需要紧急转诊到医院的冠周炎病例和可以在实践中管理并转诊到门诊的病例，这是有帮助的。
UNLABELLED Impacted third molars are a common reason for referral to the hospital dental service. Third molar impaction can be complicated by infection. We present two cases of osteomyelitis of the mandible developing secondary to pericoronitis of partially erupted lower third molars. One of the cases reported was recently diagnosed and treated while the other was diagnosed and treated 20 years ago. The most commonly reported pathology associated with impacted lower third molars is pericoronitis. Osteomyelitis of the mandible secondary to pericoronitis is rare. CLINICAL RELEVANCE It is helpful if dental practitioners are able to distinguish between the cases of pericoronitis that need emergency referral to hospital and the cases that can be managed in practice and referred to an outpatient clinic.
