Its pathogenesis is still largely unknown even if the activity change of the osteoclasts plays a relevant role in bone remodeling. The management of these patients aims to prevent the onset of the pathology or to reduce the pain and remove the necrotic bone, promoting the healing of the pathological area. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), the therapeutic application of low-energy laser or LED lights, was recently introduced in the management of this condition. Thanks to its therapeutic and biomodulating action on the irradiated tissues, PBM can be used alone or in combination with antibiotic and antibacterial therapies as a preventive, antalgic or palliative tool, and in support of surgery in a combined multi-protocol that leads to a positive and better resolution and healing of the pathologic process, with great improvement of the Quality of Life (QoL) of the patients. In this narrative review, a wide analysis of the various applications of PBM in MRONJ patients’ management is analyzed, emphasizing its role as supportive care for this condition.","PeriodicalId":19616,"journal":{"name":"Oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology, and endodontics","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85215762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mesiodens is the most commonly impacted tooth and appears between the central maxillary incisors in pediatric ages. Supernumerary teeth distal to the third molar are rare, usually impacted and referred to as a distomolar. A 46-year-old male consulted with the main complaint of pain on the left side of the maxilla. A panoramic radiograph revealed a right impacted maxillary fourth molar located posterior to the third molar associated with a pericoronal radiolucency. The supernumerary tooth was removed surgically under local anesthesia and the pericoronal lesion enucleated. Histopathological examination was consistent with the diagnosis of a dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted distomolar. Healing was uneventful, and the patients remained asymptomatic. The occurrence of a maxillary distomolar is rare and even rarer the association with a dentigerous cyst.","PeriodicalId":19616,"journal":{"name":"Oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology, and endodontics","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89927716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We estimate the distribution for edentulism according to sociodemographic and socioeconomic variables in adults from a low-income state in 2003 and its progress in Mexico. We analyzed data from the National Performance Evaluation Survey in Oaxaca, Mexico, and the annual reports of the Epidemiological Surveillance System of Oral Pathologies in 2009–2019 using X2. Oaxacan patients older than 75 y.o. (17.9%, p < 0.05), those with lower schooling (11.2%), and diabetes (14.5%) presented the highest percentage of edentulism. We do not observe differences in edentulism between sex or residence (p > 0.05). From 2009 to 2019, country data reports the lowest rate of edentulism in adults over 20 y.o.

In a primary analysis, the survival rates after one year (primary endpoint) were compared. The additional analysis included an evaluation of tooth- and construction-specific variables and an illustration of the survival up to 60 months via Kaplan-Meier curves. Results: FRCP showed lower failure risk considering the definitive prosthetic restoration and tooth type compared to CPC restored teeth. In total, 17 failures were observed in the FRCP group and 35 failures in the CPC group. A 60-month survival rate of 79.3% for FRCP and 64.5% for CPC was observed. Teeth serving as abutments for telescopic dentures were more likely to be affected by failure compared to teeth restored with single crowns. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the FRCP showed a lower failure risk compared to the CPC, considering the definitive prosthetic restoration and tooth type within the observation period.","PeriodicalId":19616,"journal":{"name":"Oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology, and endodontics","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84410652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MRONJ is mostly diagnosed by anamnestic data, clinical examination and radiological findings, with signs and symptoms often unspecific. On the other hand, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is characteristic for its pleomorphic appearance (e.g., ulcer, mucous dehiscence, non-healing post-extractive socket). We report three cases where OSCC mimicked MRONJ lesions. (2) Patients: Three patients undergoing amino-bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis presented with areas of intraorally exposed jawbone and unspecific radiological signs compatible with MRONJ. Due to the clinical suspicious of malignant lesion, incisional biopsy for histological examination was also performed. (3) Results: Histological examination of the tissue specimen revealed the presence of OSCC. All patients underwent cancer treatment.

Median EDS score was 4 (IQR 2.5-6); with 67% having an EDS 3.5. 64% were triaged to 2WW endoscopy; 18% to urgent (but not 2WW) endoscopy; 2.8% to urgent CT scan; 5.5% to routine OGD; and 4.4% to barium swallow. After excluding patients who declined investigation, results were available for 96%. 91 UGI cancers were diagnosed (prevalence 7.1%); with 3 (3%) UGI cancers diagnosed in patients with EDS<3.5 (one with EDS 3, two with EDS 1.5). EDS 3.5 had sensitivity of 96.7% and negative predictive value of 99% for UGI cancer. The factors associated with UGI cancer and hence selected to develop CDS included: age odds ratio 1.05 (95% CI 1.03-1.06); male 3.95 (2.36-6.58); progressive dysphagia 2.30 (1.39-3.79); unintentional weight loss 3.28 (2.02-5.31); acid reflux symptoms 0.47 (0.25-0.88) and dysphagia localised to the neck (0.26 (0.12-0.57). Dysphagia duration less than 6 months was not statistically significant (1.02 (0.452.22). AUROC was 0.83 for CDS as compared to 0.81 for EDS. Cancer dysphagia score and its receiver operating curve in comparison to Edinburgh dysphagia score is presented in figure 1. Conclusion A national prospective cohort confirms that EDS has high sensitivity and negative predictive value for UGI cancer, however, a modified cancer dysphagia score offers higher diagnostic accuracy. Our results suggest that CDS should be incorporated in the UGI cancer 2WW pathway for risk stratification of patients with dysphagia and further studies in primary care are needed.
