COVID-19 — associated osteomyelitis of the jaw is directly related to the pathophysiological effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the human body. Post-COVID osteomyelitis in the maxillofacial region is a rare complication requiring prosthetic management to replace the defect.</p> <p><bold>CASE DESCRIPTION:</bold> This report describes a case of maxillary osteomyelitis in a female patient, N., following recovery from COVID-19. Clinical examination revealed complete edentulism and loss of the maxillary alveolar process spanning teeth 15 to 25.</p> <p>Total atrophy of the anterior maxillary alveolar process, partial anterior tooth loss, impaired mastication and phonation, and visible sunken upper lip were noted upon objective assessment.</p> <p>The patient was treated with a removable partial denture incorporating an elastic element to restore the anterior maxillary alveolar process.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> Use of a removable prosthesis with elastic elements for a maxillofacial defect treatment enabled both esthetic restoration and functional improvement in masticatory efficiency, supporting successful prosthetic rehabilitation without surgery. A detailed approach to history collection and treatment is a critical component of a dentist’s work.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование. </bold>Коронавирусная инфекция, появившаяся в 2019 году, принесла множество изменений в нашу жизнь. COVID-19-ассоциированный остеомиелит челюстных костей связан напрямую с действием вируса SARS-CoV-2 на организм человека. Постковидный остеомиелит челюстно-лицевой области является редким осложнением после перенесённой коронавирусной инфекции, требующим замещения дефекта ортопедическими конструкциями.</p> <p><bold>Описание клинического случая.</bold> Рассмотрен случай остеомиелита верхней челюсти у пациентки Н. после перенесённой коронавирусной инфекции. Отмечено полное отсутствие зубов и альвеолярного отростка верхней челюсти в области зубов 1.6–2.4.</p> <p>При объективном обследовании обнаружены полная атрофия альвеолярного отростка во фронтальном отделе верхней челюсти, частичное отсутствие зубов во фронтальном отделе верхней челюсти, нарушение жевания и звукообразования, внешне — западение верхней губы.</p> <p>Лечение включало в себя использование частичного съёмного замещающего протеза с эластичной подкладкой и восстановление во фронтальном отделе альвеолярного отростка верхней челюсти.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Лечение дефекта челюстно-лицевой области с помощью замещающего протеза с эластическими элементами способствует не только восстановлению эстетики, но и увеличению жевательной эффективности, что говорит об успешной ортопедической реабилитации пациентки в короткий срок без оперативных вмешательств. Детальный подход к сбору анамнеза и к лечению — важная часть работы стоматолога.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>coronavirus infection</kwd><kwd>COVID-19 — associated osteomyelitis of jaws</kwd><kwd>osteonecrosis of the jaw</kwd><kwd>replacement prosthesis with elastic elements</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>коронавирусная инфекция</kwd><kwd>COVID-19-ассоциированный остеомиелит челюстных костей</kwd><kwd>остеонекроз челюстных костей</kwd><kwd>замещающий протез с эластичными элементами</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Evzikov GYu, Neretin DYu.
