Avascular jaw osteonecrosis in association with cancer chemotherapy: series of 10 cases.

BACKGROUND: We present a series of 10 patients with osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) that appeared following cancer chemotherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Of the 10 cases with ONJ, six had bone metastases from breast cancers and the other four had multiple myeloma. We analysed the location of bone metastases, as well as the characteristics of the ONJ, and the drugs with which they had been treated for their bone metastases. RESULTS: Of the 10 patients, all had ONJ in the mandible; 50% also had maxillary involvement. The average number of areas of painful exposed was 2.1 per patient (range 1-5). In seven patients a tooth extraction preceded the onset of ONJ. Two patients developed oroantral communications and another a cutaneous fistula to the neck with suppuration. In all the 10 patients the histopatholological diagnosis was of chronic osteomyelitis without evidence of metastatic disease to the jaws. All the patients had received treatment for their malignant bone disease with bisphosphonates. These were the only drugs that all patients had received. CONCLUSION: ONJ appears to have a relationship with the use of bisphosphonates.

Tetracycline compound placement to prevent dry socket: a postoperative study of 200 impacted mandibular third molars.

PURPOSE: Our objective was to study whether the placement of intra-alveolar tetracycline prevents dry sockets or improves the postoperative period. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A comparative clinical study of the surgical removal of 200 impacted mandibular third molars is made, with particular reference to postextraction pain, inflammation, trismus, and the incidence of dry socket. In 50% of these cases, a pharmacologic preparation that includes tetracycline was placed in the socket after removal of the impacted molar. RESULTS: Dry socket was diagnosed in 4 cases (2%), with no relation to intra-alveolar tetracycline placement being observed. The patients who were administered intra-alveolar tetracycline had less pain and trismus and consumed fewer analgesics than the patients who received no such treatment, although statistical significance was not reached. CONCLUSIONS: The intra-alveolar placement of tetracycline compound after the surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars did not affect the incidence of dry socket.

Bifid mandibular canal.

PURPOSE: To determine the incidence and characteristics of bifid mandibular canals. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed using panoramic radiographs of 2012 patients subjected to dental treatment in the Dental Clinic of the Valencia University Dental School (Valencia, Spain) between 1996 and 1999. The goal was to investigate the presence of double mandibular canals. RESULTS: The extraoral panoramic radiographs revealed a total of 7 images suggestive of bifid canals. Mandibular computed tomography revealed the existence of this anatomic variant in 2 of 3 patients. An analysis was performed on the incidence of this type of image in extraoral panoramic radiography, its possible interpretations, and the clinical implications of bifid mandibular canals. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, 0.35% of canals were bifid. All cases were in women.

Oral hygiene and postoperative pain after mandibular third molar surgery.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between oral hygiene before surgery and pain, inflammation, and trismus after the surgical removal of 190 impacted lower third molars. STUDY DESIGN: Patient hygiene was assessed by the simplified oral hygiene index. The maximum active interincisal oral opening was determined before surgery by using a millimeter scale, from the upper incisive edge to the lower incisive edge. Pain and inflammation were in turn recorded in written form by each patient 2, 6, and 12 hours after the operation and every day thereafter for 7 days. RESULTS: Maximum postoperative pain was recorded 6 hours after extraction, with peak inflammation after 24 hours. The patients with the poorest oral hygiene reported higher pain levels throughout the postoperative period and more analgesic consumption in the first 48 hours. In contrast, oral hygiene appeared to exert no influence on either trismus or inflammation. CONCLUSIONS: Poor oral hygiene before the surgical removal of 190 impacted lower third molars is correlated with greater postoperative pain.

Placement of endosseous implants in patients with oral epidermolysis bullosa.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of placing endosseous implants in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. This article reports on 4 patients subjected to follow-up. STUDY DESIGN: Implants were placed in 4 cases. All patients have marked oral involvement, with devastating alterations in the soft and hard tissues in all cases. RESULTS: A total of 15 implants (7 maxillary, 8 mandibular) were placed. All implants integrated successfully and have been restored. The average follow-up from implant placement was 2.5 years (range, 1-4). CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary findings suggest that endosseous implants can be successfully placed and can provide support for prosthetic restoration in patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

[Incidence of radicular cysts in a series of 125 chronic periapical lesions. Histopathologic study].

The incidence of radicular cysts in 125 chronic periapical lesions was studied in 36 cases of periapical surgery (28.8%), and to 89 tooth extractions (71.2%). Histopathology revealed 18 radicular cysts (14.4%) and 107 lesions corresponding to chronic apical periodontitis (C.A.P.) or granulomas (85.6%). Cholesterol clefts, a fibrous capsule and presence of a cavity were more common in the cysts, significant differences being observed with respect to chronic apical periodontitis.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis. A study of the clinical characteristics of lesions in 93 cases.

We studied the clinical characteristics of 93 patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS); 66 corresponded to minor aphthae (MiRAS), 20 to major aphthae (MaRAS), and 7 to herpes-like ulcerations (HU). MiRAS was seen to present the lowest rate of recurrences, as well as the shortest duration and the fewest lesions per episode. In turn, MaRAS presented the longest duration per recurrence, along with a number of lesions and recurrences that was lower than in HU but greater than in cases of MiRAS. Finally, HU developed the greatest number of lesions and recurrences. When we classified RAS according to the rate of episodes, no statistically significant differences were observed among the three types in terms of patient age, number and duration of lesions, or evolution time of the oral disorder.

Oral rehabilitation with osseointegrated implants in a patient with oromandibular dystonia with blepharospasm (Brueghel's syndrome): a patient history.

Oromandibular dystonia with blepharospasm (also known as Brueghel's syndrome, Meige's syndrome, or idiopathic orofacial dystonia) is characterized by intense and involuntary spasms of the orofacial muscles, with a frequent loss of teeth and occlusal alterations that worsen the dystonic manifestations and cause mucosal lesions that can lead to complete edentulism. The history of a patient with oromandibular dystonia who was rehabilitated with mandibular overdentures supported by endosteal implants is presented. Oral rehabilitation with implant-supported overdentures improved the situation, despite serious problems with instability. Mandibular overdentures supported by endosteal implants were satisfactorily used to re-establish occlusion, ensuring prosthetic stability and improving the dynamics of the masticatory muscles.

Oral rehabilitation using osseointegrated implants in a patient with idiopathic torsion dystonia.

Idiopathic torsion dystonia is a motor syndrome characterized by dystonic movements and postures in the absence of other neurologic deficits. The condition involves prolonged spasms of muscle contraction that distort the body into typical postures. Such distortions involving the head and the neck make conventional denture use in edentulous patients very difficult. The present paper reports on a patient with idiopathic torsion dystonia who was treated with a mandibular overdenture supported by endosteal implants, which enabled the establishment of a stable occlusion and improved the dynamics of the masticatory muscles for chewing.

Oral lichen planus and diabetes mellitus. A clinico-pathological study.

A study was made of 72 patients with oral lichen planus associated (n = 28) or not with diabetes mellitus (n = 44). No significant differences were observed between both groups in terms of the location of the lichen planus lesions on the buccal mucosa, palate, gums or floor of the mouth. On the other hand, the diabetics exhibited a greater frequency of oral lichen planus on the tongue. Atrophic-erosive lesions were more common in patients with lichen planus associated with diabetes. Finally, no differences were observed between the two groups in terms of absolute inflammatory infiltrate in the connective tissue of the oral lichen planus lesions.
