Introduction:Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a complexe systemic disorder characterized by a widespread activation of the coagulation, that may lead to thrombosis, ischemia and finally, end-organ failure. The clinical presentation of DIC depends on the site of intravascular coagulation and the severity of the disease process. Avascular osteonecrosis is a pathological state, that can occur secondary to DIC and where a reduced vascular supply leads to ischemia and bone necrosis.Observation:A 83 years old patient was sent to the oral surgery department for tooth mobility in the premaxilla, following the diagnosis of sepsis and DIC induced acute myeloid leukemia, one month ago. The examination showed an exposed avascular bone behind the 12-11-21. A diagnosis of DIC induced osteonecrosis of the premaxilla was made. A resection surgery was then programmed.Discussion:DIC may generates thrombi that might occlude intraosseous vessels in the premaxilla, and lead to bone necrosis. The maxilla is supplied by multiple branches of external carotide artery, therefore, usually, there is a lower risk of osteonecrosis in the maxilla. Nevertheless, since 1993, 4 cases of avascular necrosis of the maxilla secondary to DIC are repported in literature.Conclusion:This kind of complication, although being rare, can be dramatic for the patient as bone and aesthetic defects. Early support and management of these complications is necessary.

Purpose. Recent advances show that ultrasonic implant site osteotomy is related to a decreased trauma and a better postoperative healing of the surgical site when compared to traditional drilling techniques. The micrometric bone cutting control and the operative advantages related to the piezoelectric approach are also characterized by a learning curve for the clinician in surgical practice and an increased operative duration of the procedure. The aim of this investigation is to compare the operative time, the postoperative pain, and the amount of painkillers taken by the patient during the healing period. Methods. A total of 65 patients were treated at the Unit of Oral Surgery (Department of Medical Sciences, Surgery and Health, University of Trieste, Italy) using a split mouth model: 75 drill-inserted implants (G1) and 75 piezoelectric device-inserted implants (G2) were placed. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was performed to evaluate the postoperative pain at 15 days from surgery. The operative time and frequency of intake of painkillers were measured. Results. The G1 and G2 groups showed a significant difference with a higher use of painkillers observed for G1. The G2 patients showed a lower level of pain (VAS) at all experimental times between 8 hours to 7 days (p<0.01) postsurgery. At 15 days, the pain levels were similar for both groups. No differences were found in site preparation duration between the study groups. Conclusions. The evidence supports the application of the piezoelectric approach compared to the drill’s osteotomy as a useful technique for implant site preparation. This trial is registered with NCT03978923.
