Transeptal suturing - a cost-efficient alternative for nasal packing in septal surgery.

Introduction: Nasal packing is routinely used in septal surgery to prevent postoperative bleeding.

Objective: To demonstrate the possibility of transeptal suture as a safe and effective way to avoid nasal packing and to improve efficiency.

Methods: This is a prospective, descriptive, inferential cost study comprising 92 patients.

Bone metabolism and clinical study of 44 patients with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws.

Unlabelled: Osteonecrosis of the jaws is a clinical entity described and linked to treatment with bisphosphonates in 2003. Its real incidence is unknown and it could increase due to the large number of patients treated with these drugs, and its cumulative effect on the bone. State of the art knowledge regarding its etiopathogeny, clinical course and suitable treatments is limited.
