Study Notes
MRONJ (Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw) Optimization
Risk Factors Optimization
- Identify high-risk patients:
- History of osteoporosis, cancer, or Paget's disease
- Long-term use of bisphosphonates, denosumab, or anti-resorptive medications
- Older age, female gender, and smoking
- Optimize medication use:
- Use lowest effective dose and duration of bisphosphonates and denosumab
- Consider alternative medications with lower risk of MRONJ
Dental Care Optimization
- Optimize oral health before medication initiation:
- Complete dental treatment plans before starting medications
- Remove teeth with poor prognosis or active infection
- Ensure good oral hygiene and regular dental follow-up
- Avoid invasive dental procedures during medication use:
- Postpone non-essential dental procedures until medication use is discontinued
- Use antibiotic prophylaxis before invasive dental procedures
Surgical Optimization
- Optimize surgical techniques:
- Use gentle tissue handling and minimal trauma to bone and soft tissues
- Avoid bone cutting and drilling during surgical procedures
- Use platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to enhance healing
- Optimize post-operative care:
- Use gentle oral rinses and avoid traumatic oral hygiene practices
- Monitor for signs of MRONJ and provide prompt treatment if necessary
MRONJ (Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw) Optimization
Risk Factors Identification
- History of osteoporosis, cancer, or Paget's disease increases risk of MRONJ
- Long-term use of bisphosphonates, denosumab, or anti-resorptive medications is a key risk factor
- Older age, female gender, and smoking are additional risk factors
Medication Use Optimization
- Use lowest effective dose and duration of bisphosphonates and denosumab to minimize risk
- Consider alternative medications with lower risk of MRONJ
Dental Care Optimization
- Complete dental treatment plans before starting medications to reduce risk of MRONJ
- Remove teeth with poor prognosis or active infection to prevent complications
- Ensure good oral hygiene and regular dental follow-up to maintain optimal oral health
- Postpone non-essential dental procedures until medication use is discontinued to minimize risk
- Use antibiotic prophylaxis before invasive dental procedures to prevent infection
Surgical Optimization
- Gentle tissue handling and minimal trauma to bone and soft tissues reduces risk of MRONJ
- Avoiding bone cutting and drilling during surgical procedures minimizes trauma
- Using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) enhances healing and reduces risk
- Gentle oral rinses and avoiding traumatic oral hygiene practices post-operatively reduce risk
- Monitoring for signs of MRONJ and providing prompt treatment if necessary is crucial
Deep Learning
- Models and solves complex problems using artificial neural networks inspired by the human brain
- Key applications include:
- Image recognition
- Speech recognition
- Natural language processing
- Game playing, such as AlphaGo
Random Forests
- An ensemble learning method that combines multiple decision trees to improve prediction accuracy and stability
- Each decision tree is trained on a random subset of:
- Features
- Samples
- The final prediction is made by aggregating individual tree predictions
- Key benefits include:
- Handling high-dimensional data
- Reducing overfitting
- Improving predictive accuracy
Neural Networks
- A machine learning model inspired by the human brain's structure and function
- Composed of layers of interconnected nodes (neurons) that process and transmit information
- Key types of neural networks include:
- Feedforward neural networks
- Recurrent neural networks (RNNs)
- Convolutional neural networks (CNNs)
- Applications include:
- Image recognition
- Speech recognition
- Natural language processing
- Game playing, such as AlphaGo
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- A subfield of artificial intelligence that focuses on human-computer language interaction
- Key tasks include:
- Language modeling
- Text classification
- Sentiment analysis
- Machine translation
- Techniques used in NLP include:
- Tokenization
- Part-of-speech tagging
- Named entity recognition
- Dependency parsing
