Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Att systematiskt sammanfatta litteraturen inom området för medicinska behandlingsalternativ för icke-infektiös, kronisk osteomyelit i käkarna, utvärderat genom utläkning i ben och smärtlindring. Metod: En systematisk litteraturöversikt gjordes i fyra databaser; PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science och Scopus. Översikten utfördes enligt instruktioner från ”PRISMA checklist” och ”CRD’s guidance”. En kvalitetsbedömning gjordes av samtliga inkluderade publikationer. Resultat: Sökningen resulterade i 2 100 artiklar. Efter urvalsprocessen återstod tre artiklar som inkluderades i denna systematiska litteraturöversikt. Samtliga studier utvärderade olika typer av bisfosfonatbehandlingar – ibandronat, pamidronat och disodium clodronat. Den smärtlindrande effekten utvärderades i alla tre studierna och utläkningen av benet utvärderades i två av artiklarna. Konklusion: Behandling av icke-infektiös osteomyelit med bisfosfonater visar en reduktion av smärta. Dock är den smärtlindrande effekten beroende på typen av bisfosfonat. Resultaten gällande utläkningen av ben är tvetydiga och därför kan ingen konklusion gällande detta göras. Endast en artikel ansågs i kvalitetsgranskningen ha hög kvalitet. För att kunna ta fram tydliga, evidensbaserade riktlinjer gällande behandling av icke-infektiös osteomyelit behövs fler kliniska studier som håller hög kvalitet. Bisfosfonater verkar vara ett bra behandlingsalternativ av icke-infektiös osteomyelit. Ett alternativ till bisfosfonater, skulle kunna vara behandling med denosumab, som har liknande verkningsmekanism men kortare halveringstid. Dock krävs fortsatta studier inom detta område.

Abstract [en]

Aim: To systematically review the literature of medical treatment alternatives of non-infectious chronic osteomyelitis in the jaws regarding bone healing and pain relief. Methods: A systematic literature search has been made in four databases; PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus. The review was performed with directions from the PRISMA checklist and CRD’s guidance. A quality assessment was made of the included studies. Results: The search resulted in 2 100 articles and after the selection process, only three articles were included in this review. The studies evaluated different types of bisphosphonates - ibandronate, pamidronate and disodium clodronate. The reduction of pain was evaluated in all three articles and the bone healing was assessed in two of the articles. Conclusion: Treatment of non-infectious osteomyelitis with bisphosphonates shows a reduction in pain. However, the pain-relieving effect is most probably dependent on the type of bisphosphonates. The results of bone healing assessed from Tc-scans are ambiguous and therefore no conclusion can be made. Only one article in this review was considered to have high quality in the quality assessment. To enable clear guidelines regarding treatment of non-infectious osteomyelitis, more clinical trials with high quality is desirable. In summary, bisphosphonates seem to be a good alternative in treatment of non-infectious osteomyelitis. An alternative to bisphosphonates might be treatment with denosumab, which have a similar mechanism of action but shorter half-life. However, further research is needed.
