W. People with poor dental hygiene and cavities are indeed at increased risk of developing osteomyelitis. This is because bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and spread to the bones.

X. Most cases of osteomyelitis are caused by bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. However, it can also be caused by other types of bacteria and fungi.

Y. Osteomyelitis can result in sequestrum (dead bone that has become separated from the living bone) and involucrum (new bone growth around the sequestrum).

Z. Osteomyelitis is indeed inflammation of the bone and bone marrow. It is usually caused by an infection.
