"Troubled Bones: The Land between the Cortices is a Boundless

Space for Confusion and Pain”

A dentist must interpret scores, even hundreds of radiographs daily and has the responsibility for diagnosing or at least explaining any and all abnormalities noted. However, an entire world of ischemic, inflammatory and reactive bone/marrow disorders exist with odd, minimal or no radiographic change but with a major, major potential for producing mild to severe pain. Such conditions, often part of an underlying systemic problem, have been largely ignored by dentistry but are well known to medicine. The recent interest in bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis and implant failures has underscored their importance to dentistry. This clinically relevant seminar will review these "troubled bones”, based largely on Dr. Bouquot’s four decades of work in this arena. Participants will receive a copy of the very popular "BouquotToGo” CD with Power Point presentations containing more than 3,000 high quality, copyright free photos.

Objectives: Upon completion of this presentation, participants will have a better understanding of:

• The clinical presentation of a variety of painful marrow disorders, several with systemic implications
• The appropriate diagnostic workup of such disorders, including new imaging technologies
• The differential diagnosis of ischemic and inflammatory jawbone diseases
• The treatment options for ischemic and inflammatory jawbone diseases

In his seminars he emphasizes clinical features of disease, differential diagnosis and disease management, with much practical information based on his lifetime experience in an active clinical oral pathology/oral medicine practice and in one of the nation’s largest oral pathology biopsy services. Dr. Bouquot’s precancer, oral disease epidemiology and bone ischemia research has been cited thousands of times in the literature and he has been a member of two international Task Forces related to jawbone ischemia. He manages the world’s most popular oral pathology websites, including oralpath.com, which collectively receives almost 7,000,000 hits annually. His Power Point presentations on common oral lesions and ischemic bone disease are used by dental professionals worldwide.
