Studies of the use of pentoxifylline and α-tocopherol in osteoradionecrosis of the jaw have suggested their efficacy in this condition. We report an initial case series of pentoxifylline and α-tocopherol for patients with bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis (BON).
Six cases referred for management of BON were provided pentoxifylline and α-tocopherol in addition to antimicrobial therapy, and followed for a mean of 10 months.
A 74% decrease in area of bony exposure and symptom control was achieved in these cases.
Pentoxifylline with α-tocopherol may represent a strategy for management of BON. Controlled trials in cases of BON appear warranted.
关于己酮可可碱和α-生育酚用于颌骨放射性骨坏死的研究表明它们对此病症有效。我们报告了己酮可可碱和α-生育酚用于双膦酸盐相关骨坏死(BON)患者的首个病例系列。
6例因BON前来治疗的患者除接受抗菌治疗外,还给予己酮可可碱和α-生育酚,并进行了平均10个月的随访。
这些病例实现了骨暴露面积减少74%并控制了症状。
己酮可可碱与α-生育酚可能是一种治疗BON的策略。对BON病例进行对照试验似乎很有必要。
