Abstract
Background: McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is characterized by the triad of polyostotic bone fibrous dysplasia (PFD), endocrine disorders, and café-au-lait skin pigmentation. Ninety percent of MAS patients have fibrous dysplasia (FD) craniofacial lesions. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) has been described as an adverse side effect of bisphosphonate therapy. The aim of the study was to investigate evidence of clinical and/or radiological signs of ONJ in FD/MAS pediatric patients due to bisphosphonate therapy and describe odontoiatric tools in this population.
Methods: Thirteen FD/MAS patients were enrolled. All patients during pediatric age have been treated with pamidronate infusions. They underwent complete oral clinical examination. Ortopantomography and/or CT were evaluated in all cases.
Results and conclusions: No patient developed ONJ. None of them showed radiological signs different from jaw FD. In spite of the low number of patients enrolled, results confirm that, in this population, ONJ can be ruled out as a chronic adverse side effect of bisphosphonate therapy.
