In recent years, a growing number of reports in the literature have linked osteonecrosis of the jaw bones with intravenously administered bisphosphonates prescribed for the treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy due to bone lesions of multiple myeloma or bone metastases in patients with breast or prostate cancer. Furthermore, an association between chronic oral bisphosphonate use in patients with osteoporosis or Paget's disease, and bone necrosis in the mandible or maxilla has been demonstrated in numerous case reports and case series in the last couple of years. Therapeutically, osteonecrosis of the jaws seems to be difficult to treat surgically, often resulting in a recurring or even progressing lesion. In the present case report of a bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the maxilla in a patient with osteoporosis, the current literature will be discussed, and open research questions and potential problems for our daily dental practice routine will be addressed.

During 2003, a total of 258 new patients with oral soft tissue lesions were admitted at the Stomatology Service of the Department of Oral Surgery and Stomatology at the University of Berne. For the present study, 185 patients with clinically and histopathologically verified diagnoses were included. The following data was collected: prevalence of oral mucosal lesions, distribution of benign, precancerous and malign lesions in different age groups, and the concordance of the referral with the working diagnosis at the Stomatology Service. The most frequent pathological soft tissue findings were fibrous hyperplasias (n = 44) and oral lichen planus (n = 30). Precancerous lesions were present in 41 cases (30 patients with oral lichen planus, eleven oral leukoplakias), and ten patients had oral malignomas. Most lesions were found in patients between the age of 40 and 60 years. The referral diagnosis concurred in 36.6% (n = 67) of the cases with the definite diagnosis before initiation of treatment, the working diagnosis in 70% (n = 128) of the cases. Therefore, it can be concluded that a specialised Stomatology Service serves as a center of competence due to large numbers of patients/cases seen and treated, and the resulting high level of clinical experience of the staff. Moreover, it is important in the primary diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma, in collaboration with the referring dentist in private practice.

The WHO announced diabetes mellitus as one of the main threats to human health in the 21st century. In children and adolescents the prevalence of both the autoimmune type 1 and the obesity-related type 2 diabetes is increasing. Common to all types of diabetes is an absolute or relative lack of insulin to keep glucose homeostasis under control. Thus children and adolescents with newly diagnosed diabetes present with hyperglycemia which is often accompanied by ketoacidosis bearing the risk of cerebral edema. Children and adolescents with known diabetes treated with insulin or orale antidiabetic agents may also suffer from hyperglycemia or even ketoacidosis during times of non-compliance with diet and drugs or during concomitant illnesses. Hyperglycemia with ketoacidosis is an emergency situation for which patients need to be admitted to the next hospital for administration of insulin, fluids and potassium. In contrast, insulin treatment in diabetic patients may also lead to a hypoglycemia, the sudden drop in blood glucose, at any moment. Thus recognition and correction of mild hypoglycemia should be familiar to every diabetic child and their caretaker. Severe hypoglycemia with or without seizures may bring the diabetic child in a sudden emergency situation for which the administration of glucagon intramuscularly or glucose intravenously is mandatory. After every severe hypoglycemia the insulin and diet regimen of the diabetic child or adolescent must be reviewed with the diabetes specialist. For unexplained hypoglycemia or major treatment adjustments the diabetic child or adolescent may need to be readmitted to the diabetic ward of a hospital to avoid repeat, potentially life-threatening hypoglycemia.

Die Behandlung der pulmonal-arterielle Hypertonie (PAH) umfasst unspezifische Massnahmen (Basistherapie) und spezifische Medikamente (selektive pulmonale Vasodilatatoren). Eine ausgebaute Basistherapie, u.a. orale Antikoagulation, Rhythmuskontrolle, Rehabilitationsmassnahmen und psychosoziale Unterstützung bei depressiver Symptomatik, ist essenziell. Spezifische Vasodilatatoren reduzieren Morbidität und Mortalität der PAH. Aktuell stehen verschiedene Substanzen zu Verfügung, die einen der drei PAH-Signalwege beeinflussen: Endothelin-, NO- oder Prostazyklin- Kaskade. Substanzen, die den gleichen Signalweg beeinflussen (z.B. Riociguat und Sildenafil oder Macitentan und Bosentan), dürfen nicht miteinander kombiniert werden.
