1' - Cancer: Multiple Myeloma, Metastatic bone cancer


2' - osteoporosis: once year dosing

Oral Bisphosphonates: Indications

Osteoporosis

Dx of MRONJ

1. Exposed bone present 2+ mo


2. prior Tx w/ Bisphosphonates


3. No Hx of radiation

Name of Osteoporosis Drugs

-dronate: Fosamax (Alendronate), Actonel (risendronate), Boniva (ibandronate), Skelid (tiludronate), Didronel (etidronate), Reclast (IV: zolendronate), Prolia (denosumab - monoclonal Ab)

Stage of MRONJ: pt comes in w/ pain w/o exposed bone

Stage 0

Stage of MRONJ: pt comes in w/ exposed bone, no pain/symptoms

Stage 1

Stage of MRONJ: pt comes in w/ exposed bone with infection

Stage 2

Stages of MRONJ: pt comes in w/ exposed bone w/ pain without infection

Stage 2: pain AND/OR infection

Stages of MRONJ: pt comes in w/ exposed bone w/ pain, infection and pathologic fractures (mand or mx, extra-oral fistula, osteolysis, sinus floor)

Stage 3

Stages of MRONJ: pt's x-ray shows that the disease is extended into sinus

Stage 3

Guidelines of MRONJ: pt on IV Bis

avoid ext or elective bone surgery


salvage endo as alt. tx

Incidence of ONJ for pts on IV Bis for cancer

2-14%

Practice Guidelines: Pts on oral Bis

4-2-3: on Bis for 4 yrs: Rx holiday for 2 mos before, 3mo after surgery


pt in pain/infection: tx w/o delay

Incidence of MRONJ in pts on oral Bis

low: <1%

Practice guidelines for pt on oral Bis: less than 4 yrs but significant immune suppression

consider Rx Holiday

Practice Guidelines: for pt on IV Bis for osteoporosis

Tx w/o the same concern as pt treat w/ IV for cancer


frequency of dosing and cumulative effect is key factor

Practice guidelines: risk of MRONJ for pts on IV Bis for osteoporosis

low

Practice guidelines: pts on denosumab/other Rx


1. monthly injections for ca.


2. yearly injections for osteoporosis

1. Tx like IV Bis pts [delay ext/elective bone surgery]


2. no special precautions yet

Routine dental care for pt on Bis:


restorative, prophylaxis

continue for all pt

Routine dental care for pt on Bis:


implants: IV Bis, oral Bis

CI for IV Bis pt


ok for oral Bis pt (possible Rx holiday)

Oncology guidelines for pt on Bis

stress preoperative dental assessment for all pt prior to Rx w/ anti-resorptive medications

MRONJ: Tx strategies: Stage 0

pain mng, Abx if necessary

MRONJ: Tx strategies: Stage 1

daily peridex 0.12% oral rinse and follow q 2mo

MRONJ: Tx strategies: Stage 2

add systemic Abx, peridex and follow q 2mos

MRONJ: Tx strategies: Stage 3

pt typically have pain that impacts their quality of life. may need more extensive surgical debridement or resection

MoA of Bis

to prevent osteoclasts from resorbing bone.

MoA of Bis is to prevent osteoclasts from resorbing bone: why get destruction in the jawbones

destruction of osteoblast and osteoclast


jawbones are different: higher bone turnover rate

3 Hypo-: radiation induced

hypovascular


hypocellular


hypoxic

H&N finding: pt on radiation therapy

rock hard area upon palpation


severe mucositis, xerostomia, dry skin, lack of hair, trismus

is ORN part of infxn of bone?

no: you may have 2' Infxn but by definition ORN is not infxn of bone (ONJ)

when you have radiographic RL/RO lesion, how do to differentiate among:


1. Osteomyelitis


2. MRONJ


3. ORN

1. Hx of trauma, w/o use of Bis, radiation Tx


2. Hx of Bis


3. Hx of radiation Tx


- the bottom line is take through MHx

factors involved in ORN

1. Dose (major: high = 7200 cGy, moderate dose = 6k-6400)


2. Timing


3. type of surgery


4. Oxygen therapy

ORN risk vs. time graph contineously increases as time goes up

No. high at initial stage (early trauma-induced): dips down then continue to go up (spontaneous -> late trauma induced ORN)

(T/F) it is recommended Ext shorty before XRT

F: you want to give chance for soft tissue to completely healed over (wk-mos): no exposed bone, no open wound in the mouth

(T/F) It is recommended Ext during XRT

F: high risk of trauma induced ORN

Golden window

4 mos: if you did not had chance to do ext before XRT, consider doing the tx during Golden window (1st 4 months)

what happens after Golden window

vector crosses threshold -> 3H tissue development (hypovascular, hypocellular, hypoxic = poor healing = necrosis of tissue)

prevention of ORN: Tx timing, dose, preventative tx

at least 21 days prior to XRT, ext teeth w/


- PA pathosis


- advanced perio dz


- any mand teeth in direct path of radiation of >6000cGy


- Fl tx

HBO protocol for prevention of ORN: >4mo post XRT

20/10:


20 sessions of 100% O2 for 90 min prior to Sx


10 sessions post Sx

(T/F) repeated Sx in irradiated area would require repeated HBO protocol

F: Angiogenesis is permanent; Not require repeated HBO

Treatment of ORN: Stage 1

30/10 HBO


30 sessions of HBO - local debridement - 10 sessions of HBO

Treatment of ORN: Stage 2

30 sessions follows by surgical debridement then 10 sessions of HBO

Treatment of ORN: Stage 3

30/surg debridement/10 HBO -> continuity resection, jaw stabilization, soft tissue flap

Treatment of ORN: exposed bone w/ pathologic fracture, orocutaneous fistula, or osteolysis to the inferior border of the mand

straight to Tx of stage 3: 30 sessions before the Sx -> cont. resection, jaw stabilization, soft tissue flap -> 10 after Sx

wound healing via HBO is by inducing of

migrate Macrophages into irradiated area

HBO vs. Surgery

HBO: to tx VITAL radiation-injured tissue


Surgery: to remove NON-VITAL bone

ORN usually on Mx or Mand

Mand: less blood supply

Tx of ORN diagram

highest risk of developing infxn after __days post chemo when the _____ count drops

7-10 days


Neutrophil

Major SE of chemo

bone marrow suppression

Pancytopenia

anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia

(T/F) Myelosuppression is reversible

T: should return to normal 6-8 wks after stopping of Rx

delay even simple tooth ext if platelet count is less than

50,000/uL

Prophylactic Abx prior to Sx on pt w/ central venous catheters for chemo?

Yes

ANC calculation

ANC = WBC x (% neutrophil + % bands)



bands = immature neutrophils

ANC for mild neutropenia and prophylactic Abx uses

ANC = 1000-1500


Prophylactic Abx not required for minor OS

ANC for moderate neutropenia and prophylactic Abx uses

ANC = 500-999


Prophylactic Abx indicated for invasive procedures

ANC for severe neutropenia and prophylactic Abx uses

ANC = <500


Prophylactic Abx indicated for minor OS

common signs of infection

Fever, swelling, pain, redness, loss of fxn

pt comes in and you cannot palpate the inferior border of mand, it indicates which space infxn

Submandibular & submental space infxn

pt comes in w/ elevation of floor of mouth and tongues indicates which space infxn

Sublingual space infxn: CLASSIC sign!

involvement of bilateral submand, submental, and sublingual space infxn is called

Ludwig's angina

dysphonia may indicates which space infxn

"hot potato voice" indicates bad infxn: compromising how they speak: Ludwig's angina

pt comes in w/ trismus, fever. It indicates which space infxn

Pterygmandibular & submasseteric spaces

swelling of the ear region may indicates which space infxn

parotid space

pt comes in w/ dysphagia, and uvula deviated to the one side. it indicates which space infxn

lateral pharyngeal space

Dyspnea may indicates

multiple space involvement

lower molar infxn usually results in which space infxn

submandibular space

inflammatory condition (infxn) of the bone starts where

in the medullary cavity and havarsian system (marrow) then extend to involve the periosteum

formation of the osteomyelitis

starts at marrow -> compromised local blood supply -> sequester/ischemia formation

name that symptom: Compression of neurovascular bundle -> thrombosis, ischemia -> osteomyelitis-mediated inferior alveolar nerve dysfxn

Vincent's symptom

Vincent's symptom involves

inferior alveolar n. numbness = numbness of lip, chin area

radiographs to order when you suspect osteomyelitis

Pan, CT, MRI

Tx for osteomyelitis

remove any source of infxn, surg debridement, abx (usually IV. rarely only oral)

key to surgery in osteomyelitis

must have bleeding bone in margin: clean out enough bone to have bleeding bone: key is to keep periosteum as close as possible to bleeding bone: ALWAYS do Bx to Dx

incision above mucogingival junction


ID sinus bone, cut into the bone, get inside, get the tooth root out

surgery is for sinusitis
