34
Q

How can bisphosphonate medication lead to complications with extractions?

A

So if pt has osteoporosis then that means that bones are being broken down more than they are being repaired. Medication like alendronic acid inhibits these cells that break down the bones-osteoclasts.
With an extraction more likely to get BRONJ. So after extraction your socket doesnt heal well and the bone exposed can be painful. Can get infected. Bone can then die so risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw.
Inform pt of risk,obtain full consent , discuss other tx like rct, coronectomy, . OHI, prevention.
Before pt starts bisphosphonated do full dental assessments and XLA any poor prognosis teeth, stop smoking, alcohol and prevention

35
Q

How would you do extraction procedure for a pt on bisphonates?

A

Refer to hospital , atraumatic technique so avoid bone removal. Pack and suture using surgicel.
Steroid cover so below 10mg do nothing. 10-40mg double dose in morning and for rest of day. Over 40mg no doubling but have IV hydrocortisone. Review pt periodically so 1 week, 1 month 3 month

36
Q

Effect of bisphosphnates on bone?

A

Osteoclast inhibitor so less bone destruction and less bone turnover. May also effect osteoblasts so promotes bone formation. Stays in bone for many years

Differential: dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, myxoma , giant cell lesions.

38
Q

Histological signs of ameloblastoma?

Plexiform:columnar amelobalsts like cells forming strands. Little or no Stellate reticulum. Cystsform in stroma. Resembles dental lamina.

39
Q

Management of ameloblastoma?

A

Above buccinator:buccal sulcus in the mouth
Below buccinator : buccal space/skin
If goes posteriorly goes into retropharyngeal space which can cause obstruction and pus into chest
