Phosphorus Necrosis of the Jaw: A Present-day Study: With Clinical and Biochemical Studies

Abstract: A historical note on the aetiology of phossy jaw shows that present-day knowledge is little greater than it was a century ago. The varied clinical course of the disease is described together with a report of 10 classical cases not previously reported. Six cases, not amounting to true necrosis but in which healing after dental extraction was delayed, are described, and mention is made of the noticeable differences in the oral state and appearances of tartar of healthy workmen exposed to phosphorus compared with… Show more

“…However, the link between caries and "phossy jaw" may have been coincidental. Others have argued that those with perfectly healthy dentitions were also affected by "phossy jaw", further stating that the condition is a systemic rather than a localized disease, with phosphorous entering the bloodstream via inhalation and ingestion (Hughes et al 1962). The possibility that phosphorous poisoning is not localized is worth exploring in relation to the postcranial lesions observed in the skeleton of Burial 69.…”

“…Seul un faible nombre de patients traités par bisphosphonates semblent développer une ostéonécrose, ce qui suggère que des facteurs individuels, peut-être immunitaires, pourraient jouer un rôle important. Des fractures pathologiques des os longs avec retard de consolidation, principalement des fémurs, ont été également rapportées : elles seraient dues à la modification de la compliance de l'os hyperminéralisé [5] . Des lésions osseuses similaires, survenant chez des travailleurs de l'industrie des allumettes exposés au phosphore blanc, ont été décrites il y a presque deux siècles [3,5,6] .…”

Cette ostéonécrose se présentait sous une forme identique à celle induite par les bisphosphonates.…”
