Body<br />

Objectives: The aim of this study w<strong>as</strong> to determine the usefulness of using CBCT and queries to<br />

predict the clinical manifestation of bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ)<br />

after dentoalveolar surgical intervention on bisphosphonate treated patients.<br />

Methods: 17 patients were selected to fill out form and tooth removal. OPT and CBCT w<strong>as</strong> taken<br />

and analyzed and wound healing w<strong>as</strong> observed.<br />

Results: indexes drawn from form and radiographic me<strong>as</strong>urements were compared to wound<br />

healing<br />

Conclusion: Though query or radiographic me<strong>as</strong>urements can show coincidence with clinical<br />

osteonecrosis they show a higher specificity when using paralell results. The method can be<br />

useful in everyday clinical practice to separate high risk patients w<strong>here</strong> BRONJ h<strong>as</strong> a high<br />

probability to occur.<br />
