Approccio terapeutico al paziente in terapia con bisfosfonati orali e affetto da cisti naso-palatina: caso clinico

Objectives

The authors describe the enucleation of a nasopalatine duct cyst in a patient receiving oral bisphosphonate therapy, which can influence the outcome of dental treatments by altering the physiological tissue healing process.

Materials and methods

A surgical approach was used to remove a nasopalatine duct cyst in a patient receiving oral bisphosphonate therapy. Management requires a holistic view of the case in collaboration with the patient's physicians.

Results

Ten days after surgery, the patient was reassessed, and the mucous membrane was found to be healing normally. The patient was monitored with a specific follow-up protocol.

Conclusions

Non-healing of hard and soft tissues is a risk in patients receiving oral bisphosphonate who undergo invasive oral surgery procedures. Thus, an appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis is essential before and after surgery.
