| Popis: | Object of research. Drug-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw is a complication of therapy with osteo-modifying agents. Several theories of its pathogenesis have been deduced, but there is no uniform treatment plan that would reduce the risk of relapse and allow timely prevention. The research aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the intraoperative use of a diode laser in the treatment of drug-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw. Methodology. The article presents the case of treatment of 60-year-old patient with drug-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw. The underlying medical condition is Bence-Jones myeloma, Stage III on the Durie-Salmone Staging System, with the Th1 – Th12, L1 – L5 involvement. A laser surgical device with a diode laser with a wavelength of 980 nm, power of 0.1-20 W, with a continuous pulse type was used intraoperatively for ablation of residual granulations. An APRF clot was placed at the bottom of the wound. On the 5th and 10th days, autologous plasma injections were performed in the area of surgical treatment. Results. Low pain syndrome during the postoperative period, immediate agglutination, no relapse a month after surgery, closure of the cortical plates according to the control CT scan results. Conclusion. Thus, the first case of clinical use of a diode laser in the treatment of drug-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw has demonstrated its effectiveness. It cannot completely replace the traditional methods, but diode laser is an important auxiliary instrument which contributes to the rehabilitation of the focus of infection, stimulates reparative processes both in the mucous membrane and in the bone. Its future application in the treatment of drug-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw is promising and might prove its effectiveness in reducing the frequency of relapses. |
