A patient suffering from acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) was referred to the dental department before introduction of chemotherapy by all-trans retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide (ATO). A panoramic radiography showed his third upper maxillary left tooth included into the maxillary bone. The patient presented with a febrile episode. Consequently, the infectious gateway was researched. A left maxillary sinus migration of his third upper left tooth together with a bony sequestrum has been observed on a CT-scan. A surgery was then performed to remove the bony sequestrum and the tooth. The first hypothesis of tooth migration could be that the patient had an infection prior to introduction of chemotherapy. However, neither clinical or radiographic signs were observed during the initial check-up. The second hypothesis is that ATO caused osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) induced the formation of a bony sequestrum associated to the tooth migration into the sinus. ONJ could be a potential adverse of ATO chemotherapy.

Introduction: Brodie's abscess is one type of subacute osteomyelitis without any sequestrum or any systemic illness. Thorough debridement and removal of sclerotic rim are the mainstay of the treatment. Antibiotic-impregnated calcium sulfate (AICS) beads act as osteoconductive and at the same time, it maintains high antibiotic concentration locally.

Where tuberculous (TB) infection is prevalent, the diagnosis of TB otomastoiditis (TOM) should be considered in a chronically discharging ear that does not respond to standard medical treatment. We are reporting a case of TB otomastoiditis with an adjacent deep neck abscess in a healthy 18-year-old male. He presented with a five five-month history of right otorrhea with hearing loss and a concurrent right level two neck swelling, without any signs of acute infection.

Article Synopsis
- - Multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare cancer often treated with bisphosphonates, which help reduce bone loss and prevent complications, and this study focused on identifying imaging patterns related to this treatment in MM patients.
- - The study reviewed six research articles involving 669 MM patients, of which 447 were treated with bisphosphonates like pamidronate and zoledronate; many patients developed medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), primarily affecting the mandible with specific radiographic features.
- - The findings highlight distinct radiographic patterns of bone lesions in MM patients undergoing bisphosphonate therapy, which are important for early diagnosis and improving treatment outcomes.

Background: Actinomycosis can be caused by periapical endodontic infection, trauma, or surgical dental procedures. Due to its rare occurrence in a healthy adult patient, persistent actinomycotic osteomyelitis around implants presenting as severe peri-implantitis may be challenging to diagnose.
Methods: A 26-year-old male patient with non-contributory medical history presented to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic in 2018 with pain and edema associated with endodontically treated maxillary premolar teeth with poor prognosis.

Introduction: Surgical therapy is effective for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. However, appropriate conservative treatment options are still important for cases in which surgery is contraindicated. We report a case of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw successfully treated conservatively for a pathological mandibular fracture.
