Two unusual cases of osteonecrosis of the jaws in edentulous patients are described. One case involved the maxilla and the other the mandible. Both patients were compromised hosts who were undergoing cancer chemotherapy. Both developed local mucosal infections beneath their dentures before the bone became involved. The role of dentures in producing local irritation and in masking the problem is discussed.
本文描述了两例无牙患者颌骨骨坏死的罕见病例。一例累及上颌骨，另一例累及下颌骨。两名患者均为正在接受癌症化疗的免疫功能低下宿主。在骨质受累之前，两名患者的义齿下方均出现了局部黏膜感染。本文讨论了义齿在产生局部刺激以及掩盖问题方面所起的作用。
