Tetracycline bone labeling in surgical management of chronic osteomyelitis: a case report

Chronic suppurative osteomyelitis of maxilla mimicking actinimycotic osteomyelitis: A rare case report

“…Chronic osteomyelitis is usually treated by the combination of antibiotic therapy and surgical debridement of the lesion. [11]…”

Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: An Autofluorescence-Guided Surgical Approach Performed with Er:YAG Laser

“…Therefore, it is incorporated into viable but not into necrotic bone, and can be visualized using an excitation light of 390-430 nm. 32,33 Ristow and Pautke suggested that vital bone can be highlighted because of its AF. 24 This phenomenon was obtained through a blue spectrum excitation light (400-460 nm) and authors such as Fleisher et al reported that the same effect was not obtained using an ultraviolet spectrum excitation light (e.g., Wood's lamp; 365 nm).…”

Intraoperative detection of viable bone with fluorescence imaging using Visually Enhanced Lesion Scope in patients with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw: clinical and pathological evaluation

“…However, to our knowledge, there are few reports about the intraoperative use of macroscopic tetracycline fluorescence imaging of healthy versus unhealthy bone in patients with BRONJ, and this is one of the few reports to histopathologically investigate and discuss the efficacy of minocycline-derived bone fluorescence using VELscope® [38,39]. Minocycline is incorporated in healthy bone and has the effect of inducing visual fluorescence retention.…”
