Filter by:The aim of this trial is to evaluate high-dose antiresorptive drug holiday related to tooth extraction with primary mucosal closure (surgical extraction) including how a drug holiday affects the health related quality of life. Research question: Does a drug holiday have any influence on health related quality of life or the incidence of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw after surgical tooth extraction? The investigators hypothesize that a drug holiday 1 month before to 3 months after surgical tooth extraction in cancer patients do not influence the development of osteonecrosis of the jaw and may even affect the health related quality of life negatively.
The purpose of this present study was to evaluate the efficiency of the growth factors delivered by concentrated growth factor (CGF) on the healing process of osteoporotic patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). This randomized controlled study composed of osteoporotic female patients who were treated with oral bisphosphonates (BPs) and diagnosed with MRONJ. For the CGF group, each patient was treated with local application of CGF at the surgical site after removing the necrotic bone while the surgical area was only primarily closed as traditional surgical therapy for the control group. The patients underwent clinical examinations for 6 months postoperatively to check the presence of infection and dehiscence.
BETCON is a pragmatic randomized controlled open-label multi-center study in patients with newly diagnosed stage I-II MRONJ designed to answer the question whether minimally invasive management with LPRF membranes or primary surgical treatment is better than the standard of care of conservative therapy alone. The primary end-point is the time to mucosal healing. Secondary end-points consist of supporting measures of efficacy, patient reported symptoms, quality of life, well-being, and functioning.
This is a randomized unblinded Phase II clinical trial evaluating the impact of intensive antihypertensive control (targeted to the 50-75th percentile for age, sex, and height) compared to conventional antihypertensive control (targeted to the 90-95th percentile for age, sex, and height) on the incidence of radiographically extensive osteonecrosis in children and young adults receiving treatment for newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL). Primary Objective - Compare the frequency of radiographically extensive osteonecrosis in patients receiving intensive compared to conventional antihypertensive therapy. Secondary Objectives - Evaluate the efficacy of intensive antihypertensive control compared to conventional antihypertensive control in the prevention of clinically significant (CTCAE Grade 2 or higher) and radiologically extensive osteonecrosis, overall and stratified by joints. - Compare the frequency of clinically significant and radiographically extensive osteonecrosis in patients receiving antihypertensive therapy and historical controls. - Compare blood pressures achieved in intensive and conventional arms using both pressures obtained as part of routine patient care and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. - Compare levels of vascular dysfunction as measured physiologically, radiographically, and in blood samples in patients receiving intensive compared to standard antihypertensive therapy. Exploratory Objectives - Identify predictive patterns of blood biomarkers which identify patients at high- risk of developing clinically significant osteonecrosis. - Identify MRI findings during late induction which correlate with osteonecrosis lesions seen during reinduction. - Identify patterns of diurnal blood pressure variation as measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring associated with the later development of osteonecrosis. - Compare induction blood pressure control and intervention arm to echocardiographic changes at reinduction II. - Evaluate patient-reported, health-related quality of life in patients during induction and after 1.5 years of therapy when many experience the symptoms of osteonecrosis.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate and healing time of compromised teeth and seriously compromised teeth that were endodontically treated in patients which received bisphosphonate therapy . Clinical complications, success and survival rate was reported. Mean clinical parameters, clinical symptoms and presence of periapical radilucency were recorded.
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful orthopedic procedures to effectively relieve pain and restore function in patients with hip osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis of femoral head and hip fracture.The Lumbar Plexus Block (LPB) is currently used as the standard regional anesthesia technique to provide postoperative pain management after THA. The lumbar plexus (LP) originates from T12 to L5. In general, multiple-needle nerve blockade procedure is needed to block different branches of LP. Therefore, we need more time to finish the regional anethesia procedure and it's not easy for an inexperienced anesthesiologist to master the technique absolutely. In addition, multiple injections will increase the discomfort of the patients. We aim to investigate the effects of lumbar plexus combined with quadratus lumborum block using single-needle technique with Shamrock method as an alternative regional anesthesia.
Non-interventional prospective multicentre cohort study to determine a predictive score for the occurrence of osteochimionecrosis of the jaws after invasive oral surgery in patients who have received biphosphonates or antangiogenic drugs as part of chemotherapy with malignant bone disease (multiple myeloma or bone metastasis of a solid tumour). Data are collected during the usual follow-up of patients during the first 3 months following surgery.
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is difficult to treat as collapse frequently occurs after core decompression (CD). This may be due to the failure to provide structural support during revascularization and healing. Reports of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) packing of the femoral head after CD for ONFH have noted favorable results. This study was undertaken to determine whether the addition of PMMA packing to CD provides any benefit to progression-free survival (PFS) and conversion to total hip arthroplasty-free survival (CFS). Secondary objectives were to assess for differences in functional outcomes and predictive factors for progression of the disease.
Numerous studies describing surgical treatments to preserve hip replacements has several controversies and none of these procedures are universally accepted nor have compelling evidence for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). With developing a newly approach osteonecrotic device surgical procedure to support the regeneration of necrotic bone and articular cartilage in vivo, this will be the first randomized-controlled feasibility study to determine its safety in ONFH patients.
This study is a Post Market Clinical Follow up study to fulfil the post market surveillance obligations according to Medical Device Directive and European Medical Device Vigilance System (MEDDEV) 2.12-2. The data collected from this study will serve the purpose of confirming safety and performance of the Avenir Müller Hip Stem.
