Nonexposed Variant of Bisphosphonate-associated Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: A Case Series

2010

Abstract Purpose To report a case series of patients with the nonexposed variant of bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw—a form of jaw osteonecrosis that does not manifest with necrotic bone exposure/mucosal fenestration. Methods Among 332 individuals referred to 5 clinical centers in Europe because of development of jawbone abnormalities after or during exposure to bisphosphonates, we identified a total of 96 patients who presented with the nonexposed variant of osteonecrosis. Relevant data were obtained via clinical notes; radiological investigations; patients' history, and referral letters. Results The most common clinical feature of nonexposed osteonecrosis was jaw bone pa…

Follow-up of non-exposed ONJ related to bisphosphonate: a two-year study

2015

Aim. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a serious sideeffect of amine bisphosphonate (NBP) and/or other antiresorptive agents frequently used in the management of osteometabolic and cancer-related condition. The traditional ONJ definition exclude patients who present the non-exposed variant. However, according to recent data, staging and monitoring of ONJ should be closely linked to clinical and radiological manifestation regardless of the presence of bone exposed. The aim of this study was a descriptive analysis of a case series of patients with non-exposed ONJ (exclusively related to NBP) monitoring for two years. Methods. From 2012 to 2014, 16 patient [7 oncological (F/M=3/4; mean age=66,…

Ozone Infiltration for Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Therapy: A Case Series

2022

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse reaction, mainly due to bone-modifying agents (BMA), and it is a potentially painful and debilitating condition. To date, the literature has reported a 90% rate of successful outcomes for MRONJ patients undergoing surgical treatment. Particularly for patients with advanced disease stages who are unsuitable for surgery, prolonged medical treatment is required, with a consequent risk of the overuse of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficiency and safety of ozone, via oral mucosal infiltrations, in seven cancer patients with MRONJ, who are not eligible for surgery. The prot…

Zastosowanie magazynów ciepła do celów grzewczych i c.w.u

Magazynowanie energii jest kluczowym zagadnieniem dla rozwoju energetyki odnawialnej. W obszarze budownictwa i inżynierii komunalnej, poza innymi formami, zachodzi konieczność magazynowania energii w postaci termicznej, rozumianej jako zwiększenie energii wewnętrznej układu magazynującego lub wykorzystanie przemian fazowych. Technologie wykorzystujące procesy sorpcyjne, lub efekty termiczne reakcji chemicznych są tu raczej mniejsze zastosowanie. Energię termiczną w najmniejszej skali magazynujemy w zasobnikach ciepłej wody użytkowej, w zbiornikach buforowych instalacji grzewczych. Większe instalacje realizowane są dla obiektów użyteczności publicznej, takich jak szpitale, biurowce. Duże mag…

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in dental and oral surgery: from the wound healing to bone regeneration

2013

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a new approach to tissue regeneration and it is becoming a valuable adjunct to promote healing in many procedures in dental and oral surgery, especially in aging patients. PRP derives from the centrifugation of the patient's own blood and it contains growth factors that influence wound healing, thereby playing an important role in tissue repairing mechanisms. The use of PRP in surgical practice could have beneficial outcomes, reducing bleeding and enhancing soft tissue healing and bone regeneration. Studies conducted on humans have yielded promising results regarding the application of PRP to many dental and oral surgical procedures (i.e. tooth extractions, per…

2018

We performed a systematic review of oNJ literature with keyword and MeSH terms referred to pain and its treatment, on PubMed and other literature sources on 2014-2018 years. out of 2957 publications citing oNJ and published in the period, 350 papers reported about pain anyhow.
