A doctor has provided 1 answer
Jaw infection: Refractory osteomyelitis of the lower jaw is a term to describe an infection of bone that is resistant to the treatment methods and/or antibiotics that have been used. Refractory means persistent and resistant to treatment methods. In other words, it is not getting better in spite of attempts to treat it.
