A pragmatic window of opportunity to minimise the risk of MRONJ development in individuals with osteoporosis on Denosumab therapy: a hypothesis

2021

Abstract Denosumab is associated with the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), an uncommon but severe oral side effect with a higher prevalence in metastatic cancer patients than in patients with metabolic bone fragility. Although several oral triggers can initiate MRONJ, invasive oral treatments and tooth extraction still remain the most common precipitating event. In general, tooth extraction and oral surgery should be avoided in patients at increased risk of MRONJ, while extraction of non-restorable teeth should be performed based on specific risk reduction protocols to eliminate dental/periodontal infections, still protecting from MRONJ onset. Based on th…

Efficacy of a topical gel containing chitosan, chlorhexidine, allantoin and dexpanthenol for pain and inflammation control after third molar surgery …

2020

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the postoperative effect of a topic gel containing chlorhexidine, chitosan, allantoine and dexpanthenol versus a placebo for pain and inflammation control after third molar surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A gel combining 0.2% chlorhexdine, 0.5% chitosan, 5% dexpanthenol, 0.15% allantoin and 0.01% sodium saccharin was selected for this split mouth randomized controlled and double-blind trial including 36 patients with bilaterally and symmetrically impacted lower third molars. The teeth (n=72) were randomly divided into two groups before surgical removal: control group (CG; in which a placebo was given) and experimental group (EG). …

Study of the interocclusal distortion in impressions taken with different types of closed-mouth trays and two types of impression materials

2010

The aim of this study was to compare different types of impression trays for the closed-mouth impression technique, using two different types of impression material. For this study, five different types of impression trays were used with two different types of impression materials, one of addition silicone and the other of polyether. We designed a model used for taking the impressions and for measuring interocclusal distortion. The results obtained show that the impression trays COE (GC (R) GC America INC. Alsip) and Premier (Premier (R), Premier Dental Products Co. Canada) show a lesser degree of interocclusal distortion when taking closed-mouth impressions. In terms of impression material…

Neoformazione esofitica mandibolare in una giovane paziente

2022

Una donna caucasica di 18 anni si presentava all’osservazione presso il Settore di Medicina Orale (Università degli Studi di Palermo) data la comparsa di una neoformazione localizzata in zona trigono retromolare destro. L’anamnesi patologica non evidenziava la presenza di patologie sistemiche attuali o pregresse. La paziente era in buone condizioni di salute, riferiva di non assumere farmaci e di non avere subito alcun intervento chirurgico; dichiarava di non avere mai fumato. La paziente riferiva un lento e progressivo accrescimento della lesione, in assenza di sintomatologia algica. L’esame obiettivo extra-orale non evidenziava linfoadenopatie latero-cervicali o altre anomalie. All’esame …

Protocol of BRONJ prevention: successful use of antiseptics during oral surgical procedures

2012

Aim: The overall prevention and treatment of Bisphosphonates related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) have been the goals of our project structured (labelled PROMaB) within the hospital AOUP “P. Giaccone” (Italy) in order to make better quality life of patients in therapy with amminobisphosphonates (NBP). Material and Methods: Among all procedures, in case of preprogrammed oral surgical procedure, oral antimicrobial rinses (i.e. chlorexidine 0,2% mouthwash and 0,5% gel, three times/day) plus oral systemic antibiotic therapy –e.g. amoxicilin/clavulanate- have been used to reduce the risk of BRONJ in secondary prevention (1 day before and 6 days after). Three hundred and twenty-one patients …

Antibiotic prophylaxis in dentistry and oral surgery: use and misuse

2009

INTRODUCTION: Antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) still represents a common but often misused procedure in dental practice, thus aggravating the risk for antimicrobial resistance and adverse effects occurrence. AIMS AND METHODS: Our primary objective is to review the available scientific evidence regarding AP in dentistry both among healthy subjects and medically compromised patients. Additionally, the latest available guidelines provided by some of the most authoritative associations are here discussed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: AP is advisable only in a small percentage of patients where a risk of severe infective complications (i.e. infective endocarditis and prosthetic joint infection, septicaem…

The Effectiveness of Laser-Assisted Surgical Excision of Leukoplakias and Hyperkeratosis of Oral Mucosa: A Case Series in A Group of Patients

2019

Introduction: In the different branches of dentistry, the use of laser to solve different clinical situations is increasing due to numerous advantages that have been studied in literature since the 70s. Leucoplakia and hyperkeratosis can benefit from laser-assisted treatment. In most cases biopsy sampling, histological examination and, if no malignant cells are present, the follow-up is needed. However, even if the lesion is free of dysplasia patients often ask to eliminate these white spots that are always a cause of concern. Aim: From these numerous requests comes the idea of setting up a laser-assisted protocol as less invasive as possible to be offered to patients. The aim of the study …
