Presentation Abstract
- What are the current diagnostic problems lesions of the Jaw Bone (FDOJ)?
FDOJ – Fatty Degenerative Osteonecrosis of the Jaw is a term currently adapted to describe “silent inflammation” that is often found in the bones of upper or lower jaws. Less accurate descriptions of the inflammation are “NICO” ( Neuralgia Induced Cavitational Osteonecrosis) or just general population widely accepted term “Cavitation” used more often for bone disorders in jaw-bone marrow.
- Connection between RANTES/CCL5 from FDOJ and CICO (Cancer Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis)
RANTES/CCL5 gene was introduced in 1988. It is shown to induce migration concentration of T cells, eosinophils, mast cells and basophils. Initially considered to be a T cell specific cytokine it is produced by platelets, macrophages, fibroblasts, endothelium, epithelium and endometrial cells.
- Clinical approach in modern dentistry
