Ersan N, Özel B. Evaluation of mandibular cortical and trabecular radiomorphometry in familial Mediterranean fever patients. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol 2023; 136:640-648. [PMID: 37422403 DOI: 10.1016/j.oooo.2023.05.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the mandibular cortical and trabecular morphology and microarchitecture of patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and compare them to those of healthy individuals by examining radiomorphometric indices on panoramic radiographs. STUDY DESIGN We examined a group of 56 FMF patients aged 5 to 71 years and an age- and sex-matched control group of individuals with no systemic diseases. We classified the FMF and control groups according to age and sex and the FMF group according to colchicine use. We evaluated the quantitative radiomorphometic indices of gonial index, antegonial index, molar cortical thickness, mental index, panoramic mandibular index, and lacunarity, and the qualitative mandibular cortical index on all panoramic radiographs and performed between and within group analysis. RESULTS Mean gonial index, antegonial index, and molar cortical thickness values of the FMF group were significantly smaller than those of the control group. Significantly fewer patients in the FMF group were classified as mandibular cortical index type 1 compared to the control group. There were no significant differences in quantitative index values according to colchicine use in the FMF group or regarding the categorical parameters of age, sex, and mandibular cortical index classification. CONCLUSIONS Radiomorphometric values of the mandibular basal cortex posterior to the mental foramen differ significantly in FMF patients compared to healthy counterparts. Dentists should note mandibular morphologic changes indicative of low bone density when examining panoramic images of patients with this disease.

Prevalence of orofacial alterations in patients with sickle-cell disease: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol 2022; 135:642-660. [PMID: 36858858 DOI: 10.1016/j.oooo.2022.12.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 12/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of orofacial alterations in sickle-cell disease (SCD) and to compare it with the general population. STUDY DESIGN This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines. The search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, gray literature, and references of the included articles. RESULTS A total of 770 records were found, and 28 studies were selected. In SCD, the prevalence of decreased bone density was 57% (95% CI: 35%-80%), with Q: P < .01 and I2 = 95%; for stepladder pattern was 30% (IC: 13%-47%), Q: P < .01 and I²: 93%; for delayed eruption was 20% (95% CI: 6%-34%), with Q: P < .01 and I2 = 86, Q: P < .01 and I2 = 99%; and for malocclusion, 66% (95% CI: 39%-92%), Q: P < .01 and I2 = 98%. A high risk of bias was observed in relation to the sample size of the studies. A limited number of articles compared the prevalence of orofacial alterations in patients with SCD and healthy individuals. CONCLUSIONS Decreased bone density, malocclusion, orofacial pain, tooth necrosis, eruption delay, periodontal disease, and neuropathies may be present in patients with SCD with variable prevalence.

Heliyon 2022; 8:e12266. [PMID: 36582704 PMCID: PMC9792747 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2022.e12266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study was carried out to assess the possible changes in mandibular bone density according to age and gender through dental panoramic radiographs (PAN). More specifically, the region of the mandibular oblique line. Materials & methods A group of 374 dental patients previously treated in the Ribeirão Preto Dental School (FORP/USP) was included in the study. The complete dental profiling of all the subjects (including PAN images) was previously available in the archive of the same institution. Those subjects were separated into four groups considering age and gender: Group 1-100 young adult men (21.48 ± 3.34 y. o.), Group 2-100 young adult women (20.66 ± 1.52 y. o.), Group 3-87 postmenopausal women (74.07 ± 9.82 y. o.), and Group 4-87 men over 70 years old (75.92 ± 8.71 y. o.). A new index called "W-index" (WI) was proposed for analyzing the possible difference in mandibular bone density. This new index is the ratio between the average pixel value of the image area of the mandibular ramus (AVMR) and the average pixel value of the image area of the mandibular oblique line (AVOL) (WI = AVMR/AVOL). WI was measured for each subject on each PAN and statistical analysis was performed to search how well WI can characterize each study group. Results The largest difference in WI is observed when we compare older subjects (WI 0.73 ± 0.11) with younger subjects (0.89 ± 0.05). WI also varies significantly with gender but in a smaller amount. Mean WI for old women (0.68 ± 0.11) was found lower than for old men (0.77 ± 0.09), and mean WI for young women (0.89 ± 0.05) was also inferior to young men (0.91 ± 0.05). The differences in WI observed in the subject group were tested for a significance level of α = 0,01. We speculate that WI refers to an aspect of bone mineral density. First, the sharp contrast of the mandibular oblique line may signify the loss of mandibular bone mass. And second, it showed to vary significantly with gender and age, but with higher intensity with age. Clinical significance WI might be used in the future for low bone mineral density risk assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an emerging global health issue with rapid progress in therapy especially since 2017. However, systematic reviews found no clinical trials on dental treatment of SCD. TYPES OF STUDIES REVIEWED Using a scoping review approach, the authors examined citations from 13 national SCD guidelines and 10 books spanning 4 decades. The authors also searched the following databases: PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, ScienceDirect, Scientific Electronic Library Online, and GoogleScholar. Eligibility criteria included SCD, oral health care and dental treatment, related to oral and systemic health, original data, or observations. RESULTS Systemic treatment of SCD might have opposing effects on caries, perhaps explaining the conflicting results published. Malocclusion correlates with marrow expansion. Other unusual orofacial findings reflect ischemia. Of 86 full-text articles examined, only 1, a Brazilian esthetic dentistry study, was a randomized clinical trial. No disease-specific data were found on risk of developing bacterial endocarditis, safety of inhaled nitrous oxide, safety of epinephrine with local anesthetic, or the benefit of comprehensive oral health care. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS In SCD, oral health and systemic health could be strongly linked. Penicillin, vaccines, and hydroxyurea might impact caries and bone. The interaction of SCD treatments and oral health merit study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To assess the influence of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use on jawbone and bone mineral density by retrospective analysis of panoramic radiographs. METHODS: Radiographic and clinical records were sourced from the Division of Orthodontics and TMJD, Eastman Institute for Oral Health, University of Rochester. Randomly selected adults (20-65 years) were categorized into: "Active" (with history of SSRI use of >6 months) and a "Control" group. Panoramic indices: Klemetti index (KI), panoramic mandibular index, antegonial notching index, condylar pathology, mandibular cortical width (MCW) and mean ramus height were recorded. Frequency-weighted Χ2 tests and multinomial regression controlling for age and gender were applied to categorical indices (KI, condylar pathology, antegonial notching index). Multivariate generalized linear modeling was applied to mean ramus height, MCW and panoramic mandibular index. Multiple regression analyses determined: (a) panoramic indices that best predicted SSRI use, and (b) independent predictors of KI category. RESULTS: 64 SSRI users and 48 Controls were assessed. SSRI users had significantly higher odds of having worse KI status than normal [mildly to moderately eroded cortex: odds ratio (OR) = 2.926, 95% CI (1.07-8.04) and severely eroded cortex: OR = 19.86, 95% CI (3.91-100.69)], more frequent flat condylar anatomy (right side: p = 0.009, left side: p < 0.001) but greater ramus height (p = 0.001) and mandibular cortical width (p = 0.032). Age, gender, SSRI use each significantly impacted KI. Only SSRI use significantly impacted condylar pathology, ramus height and MCW. KI category (OR = 1.3) was the best panoramic predictor of SSRI use. Conversely, KI category C3 was significantly predicted by SSRI use (OR = 31.2, p = 0.002), female gender (17.5, p = 0.006), and severe antegonial notching (OR = 1289, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: SRRI use was significantly associated with worse panoramic morphometric indices: KI, condylar pathology, ramus height, and MCW, where KI was its strongest predictor. Worse KI was independently predicted by SSRI use.

Hypoxia-reperfusion affects osteogenic lineage and promotes sickle cell bone disease. Blood 2015; 126:2320-8.

Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a worldwide distributed hereditary red cell disorder, characterized by severe organ complication. Sickle bone disease (SBD) affects a large part of the SCD patient population, and its pathogenesis has been only partially investigated. Here, we studied bone homeostasis in a humanized mouse model for SCD. Under normoxia, SCD mice display bone loss and bone impairment, with increased osteoclast and reduced osteoblast activity. Hypoxia/reperfusion (H/R) stress, mimicking acute vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs), increased bone turnover, osteoclast activity (RankL), and osteoclast recruitment (Rank) with upregulation of IL-6 as proresorptive cytokine. This was associated with further suppression of osteogenic lineage (Runx2, Sparc). To interfere with the development of SBD, zoledronic acid (Zol), a potent inhibitor of osteoclast activity/osteoclastogenesis and promoter of osteogenic lineage, was used in H/R-exposed mice. Zol markedly inhibited osteoclast activity and recruitment, promoting osteogenic lineage. The recurrent H/R stress further worsened bone structure, increased bone turnover, depressed osteoblastogenesis (Runx2, Sparc), and increased both osteoclast activity (RankL, Cathepsin k) and osteoclast recruitment (Rank) in SCD mice compared with either normoxic or single-H/R-episode SCD mice. Zol used before recurrent VOCs prevented bone impairment and promoted osteogenic lineage. Our findings support the view that SBD is related to osteoblast impairment, and increased osteoclast activity resulted from local hypoxia, oxidative stress, and the release of proresorptive cytokine such as IL-6. Zol might act on both the osteoclast and osteoblast compartments as multimodal therapy to prevent SBD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to detect dimensional changes in the mandibular cortical bone associated with bisphosphonate (BP) use and to correlate measurements of the cortical bone with the cumulative dose of BPs. STUDY DESIGN Mandibular inferior cortical bone thickness (MICBT) was measured under the mental foramen on panoramic radiographs of patients with and without bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) taking BPs and controls. RESULTS Patients with BRONJ had the highest mean MICBT (6.81 ± 1.35 mm), compared with patients without BRONJ taking BPs (5.44 ± 1.09 mm) and controls (4.79 ± 0.85 mm) (P < .01). Mean MICBT of patients with BRONJ was significantly higher than that of patients without BRONJ taking BPs. There was a correlation between MICBT and cumulative dose of zolendronate. CONCLUSIONS Measurement of MICBT on panoramic radiographs is a potentially useful tool for the detection of dimensional changes associated with BP therapy.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Patients with sickle cell disease have vitamin D deficiency and poor bone health which makes them prone to have an increased risk of fractures and osteoporosis in adulthood. We performed a prospective, cross-sectional study in children diagnosed with sickle cell disease living in Madrid, Spain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the status of vitamin D of these children. Patients 0-16 years old were enrolled between 2008 and 2011. We studied demographics, calcium metabolism, and bone health, especially by measuring levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), during different seasons of the year, and bone densitometry (beyond 4 years of age). Seventy-eight children were included in the study. Mean age was 4.8 ± 4.3 years, and mean serum 25(OH)D level was 21.50 ± 13.14 ng/ml, with no differences in 25(OH)D levels within different seasons. Fifty-six percent of children had levels of 25(OH) vitamin D of <20 ng/ml, whereas 79 and 18 % of them had levels of <30 and <11 ng/ml, respectively. Secondary hyperparathyroidism was observed in 25 % of children. Densitometry was performed in 33 children, and an abnormal z-score was seen in 15.2 % of them with no correlation with levels of 25(OH)D. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in children with sickle cell disease, who are residing in Madrid, Spain, and it is detected at a young age. We propose that early intervention may increase the possibility of an adequate bone density later in life.
