DOI: 10.1002/jper.21-0294
Abstract: BACKGROUND Refractory jaw osteonecrosis that occurs in osteoporotic or cancer patients treated with bisphosphonates is called medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw but its underlying mechanism is unclear. Statins, therapeutic agents for dyslipidemia, lower blood low-density… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mp.16112
Abstract: PURPOSE To manage intra-fractional motions, recent developments in Tomotherapy enable a unique capability of adjusting MLC/jaw to track the moving target based on the intra-fractional motions detected by sequential monoscopic imaging. In this study, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00198-017-4343-2
Abstract: Although osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a serious complication of craniofacial radiotherapy, the current management methods remain suboptimal. Teriparatide (TPTD), a recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1–34), has shown beneficial effects on osseous regeneration in medication-related osteonecrosis of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00429-018-1636-y
Abstract: To provide information on the glutamatergic synapses on the trigeminal motoneurons, which may be important for understanding the mechanism of control of jaw movements, we investigated the distribution of vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT)1-immunopositive (+) and… read more here.
