Q

What are the radiographic features of acute osteomyelitis?

A
  • Early stages: no radiographic changes
    *Ill-defined periphery, fading into normal trabecula
    *Decrease in the density of bone: localized or discrete
  • Followed by increased radiolucency
  • Sclerosis at later stages
  • Sequestra: nonvital bone
17
Q

What are the radiographic features of osteomyelitis?

A
  • Resorption
  • Periosteal new bone formation
  • Proliferative periostitis
  • Fistula formation
  • Pathologic fracture
  • Radiographic features similar to malignant lesions
18
Q

What are the clinical features of chronic osteomyelitis?

A

*Duration of symptoms
* Mottled, predominantly lucent
* Focal overgrowth of bone
* “Onion-skin” appearance : layering of cortical bone

19
Q

What are the clinical features of osteoradionecrosis?

A
  • Radiotherapy (40 to 80 Gy)
    *Decreased vascularity
  • Low defense
    *High susceptibility to extraction, perio, pulpal disease,
    denture sore
  • Radiographic feature: similar to osteomyelitis
    *Diagnosis established by history
20
Q

ONJ stands for

A

Osteonecrosis of the jaw

21
Q

BON stands for

A

Bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw

22
Q

BRONJ stands for

A

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw

23
Q

MRONJ stands for

A

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw

24
Q

What are the clinical features of MRONJ?

A
  • Spontaneous or after extraction
    *Initially asymptomatic
  • Pain, tooth mobility, mucosal swelling, erythema,
    ulceration
  • Early stage: minimal radiographic changes
  • Late stage: R/F of osteomyelitis (or cancer)
  • Widened PDL spaces
  • Potential risk factors:
    *Dentoalveolar trauma
    *Duration of BP treatment
  • Type of BP: i.v. BP is more problematic
25
Q

What are the staging: Details in AAOMS Position paper?

A
  • At risk: No apparent necrotic bone
  • Stage 0: Non-specific clinical and radiographic findings
  • Stage 1: exposed, necrotic bone that is asymptomatic
  • Stage 2: exposed, necrotic bone, with pain and
    infection
  • Stage 3: Exposed, necrotic bone in patients with pain,
    infection, and pathologic fracture, extraoral fistula, or
    osteolysis extending to the inferior border
