A descoberta dos bisfosfonatos (BFs) como fármacos relacionados à inibição da reabsorção óssea os consagrou para o tratamento de pacientes porta- dores de osteoporose e de neoplasias com metástases ósseas, o que culminou com o seu uso ampliado. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo expor a importância da identicação dos pacientes que fazem uso dos BFs contribuindo assim para o adequado conhecimento sobre os riscos de complicações que acometem esses pacientes. O trabalho enfoca o emprego clínico dos BFs, os riscos que representam para os ossos da face, consideradas as suas características, bem como a importância de diagnosticar pacientes que fazem uso desses fármacos, a m de orientá-los sobre o adequado tratamento odontológico a ser realizado, e desta forma contribuir para a redução da complicação que tem evolução imprevisível e consequências devastadoras para os pacientes.

Os autores relatam caso de paciente com história de câncer de mama tratada com mastectomia radical e administração de 09 (nove) aplicações de Bisfosfonato de 4a geração (ZOMETA) EV, há 12 (doze) anos. A paciente foi submetida a exodontia de elemento dentário no arco central da mandíbula mais de uma década depois da última administração de Bisfosfonato EV e evoluiu com osteonecrose mandibular. O caso é discutido e o tratamento instituído é demonstrado.

O crescente emprego de medcamentos anti-reabsortivos vem trazendo à tona complicações para os ossos da face que, no passado eram concentradas nos pacientes portadores de doenças malígnas ou de comportamento malignizante e que utilizam esses medicamentos, em particular os Bisfosfonatos, por via endovenosa. O uso prolongado por via oral sinaliza riscos comparados aos observados nos pacientes que fazem uso dessas drogas por via endovenosa.

Several studies show that dental procedures especially in case of gingivitis, peri-apical lesions and periodontitis with inflamed periodontal tissues or infected pocket epithelium surrounding the teeth may be a cause of bacterial invasion through the bloodstream and resulting in Infective endocarditis which is a severe disease that may affect the heart valves or the endocardium. The most common bacteria responsible for bacterial endocarditis are alpha-hemolytic streptococci like Streptococcus viridians but oral pathogens like Eikenella corrodens, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Capnocytophaga, and Lactobacillus species can cause bacterial endocarditis. In this review, we searched the United States National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health (PubMed) to make out all articles that included the terms endocarditic, prophylaxis, oral or dental in the title. Several published sources of information relating to dental procedures, bacteremia, and infective endocarditis were reviewed. This review is focused on the patients that need prophylactic antibiotics and the recommended antibiotics for adults and children for dental procedures in which the prophylaxis is necessary. Antibiotic prophylaxis is indicated for patients with prosthetic cardiac valve, history of infective endocarditis, distinct Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD) and Cardiac transplant recipients with cardiac valvular disease. The most important pathogen responsible for endocarditis during dental procedures is S viridans (alpha-hemolytic streptococci). Antibiotic regimens for endocarditis prophylaxis are used against S viricians, and the recommended standard prophylactic regimen is a single dose of oral amoxicillin. For patients with high cardiac risk, antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended for all dental procedures like manipulation of gingival tissue or the periapical area of teeth or perforation of the oral mucosa.

Objectives: The study aimed to identify the dental procedures
that elicit the highest level of anxiety by various
dental procedures and to determine the correlation of
anxiety with students’ gender and varying perceptions of
anxiety across years of dental education.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at
Sardar Begum Dental College, Peshawar, Pakistan during
June 2014. The Corah’s Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS)
was distributed to all students. This instrument had 26
items examining the anxiety levels experienced for
different dental procedures. Options ranging from 1 to 4
were provided for every item, where 1 represented low
anxiety and 4 represented the highest anxiety.
Results: The overall response rate was 67.3% (n ¼ 101;
64 females and 37 males). Among the top five dental
procedures eliciting the highest anxiety levels, females
were found to be more anxious than males for all procedures (fear of injection/needle, root canal treatment,
extraction, and application of cold air) except the need
for further treatment. Pre-clinical students (1st and 2nd
year) were found to be more anxious than clinical students
(3rd and 4th year). Significant differences (p < 0.05)
were found for three procedures: rubber dam placement,
inability to stop dentist, and impression taking. Clinical
students reported high anxiety for the latter, and preclinical
students reported higher anxiety for the former
two procedures.
Conclusions: Higher anxiety levels were reported by females
and pre-clinical students than their respective
counterparts. Educational sessions and graded exposure
therapy at an initial stage of dental educational training
may decrease the anxiety associated with dental
procedures.
