Denosumab‐related osteonecrosis of the jaws: successful management with a conservative surgical approach
ABSTRACT
Denosumab‐related osteonecrosis of the jaws (DRONJ) is a recently described entity that shares many common clinical and radiological features with bisphosphonate‐related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ). The aim of the present study is to report a case of DRONJ affecting the anterior mandible of a 58‐year‐old male treated with denosumab to prevent skeletal‐related events associated with prostate cancer. Conservative surgery in conjunction with antibiotic therapy and discontinuation of denosumab use were effective in managing the condition and the patient remains free of clinical and radiological changes...

Oral manifestations in Kindler syndrome: Case report and discussion of literature findings
This report describes the case of a female patient diagnosed with Kindler syndrome showing the classical clinical features affecting the skin, in addition to oral lesions manifesting as keratotic plaques and ulcers affecting the buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, alveolar ridge, hard palate, and soft palate. An incisional biopsy was performed to confirm the diagnostic hypothesis of an autoimmune lesion possibly related with the syndrome. Knowledge about the possible manifestations of the Kindler syndrome is important to improve its management. (Source: Special Care in Dentistry)

An alternate technique of care using silver fluoride followed by stannous fluoride in the management of root caries in aged care
ABSTRACT
An alternate technique of care to prevent, arrest and manage root caries using aqueous silver fluoride followed by stannous fluoride (AgF+SnF2) in aged care is demonstrated by three case studies. With increasing age, the inability to maintain ones own oral care from dementia, illness or frailty and polypharmacy induced salivary gland hypofunction will result in dental caries becoming a progessively greater burden for the elderly. Future generations of elders will live longer and need to maintain many more teeth longer than earlier generations. Both silver diamine fluoride (SDF)and AgF+SnF2 arrest and prevent carie...

Bisphosphonate‐related osteonecrosis of the jaws: report of a case using conservative protocol
ABSTRACT
Bisphosphonates have been the first‐line treatment option for osteometabolic diseases, such as osteoporosis, hypercalcaemia in malignant bone diseases, and in bone metastasis. It is possible to observe a growing number of cases of osteonecrosis of the jaws in patients using this medication, called bisphosphonate‐related osteonecrosis of the jaws. The purpose of this study was to report a conservative treatment for bisphosphonate‐related osteonecrosis of the jaws—Stage 2, using antibacterial solution and low‐level laser therapy. At the end of the treatment, the patient presented improvement of the lesion ...
