Materials And Methods: Thirty-four baseline and 74 follow-up SPECT/CT examinations for therapy response assessment were performed in 34 patients with jaw osteomyelitis. SPECT/CT and planar late-phase bone scintigraphy images were assessed at baseline and follow-up, according to the following criteria: tracer uptake grade (0 = no uptake, 1 = low uptake, 2 = moderate uptake and 3 = high uptake); and morphologic signs (osteolysis, sequestration, sclerosis, periosteal reaction and pathologic fracture).
In the context of tooth trauma mostly the maxillary central front teeth are involved, whereby their roots are in some cases in developing stage (immature). The intrusive luxation represents one of the most severe types of dental trauma because of the damage to the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and pulp. Principally, three different treatment options are available: 1.
