Abstract:
The aim of our study was to investigate the efficacy and informativeness of radiational diagnostic osteonecrosis of jaw in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) receiving bisphosphonates (BPH) therapy based on the use routine X-ray examination, orthopantomography and spiral computed tomography jaws. We have examined 53 patients with MM, which along with courses of chemotherapy were treated with BPH. The proposed diagnostic algorithm will help improve efficiency and decrease the cost of diagnosis and reduce excessive radiation exposure to the pat.
