The Radiographic Effect of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate on Bone Maturation During Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis

Abstract

early recovery in smell loss between using olfactory training and without any treatment. In a multicenter study by 12 European hospitals, the most commonly used treatments for smell disorder are nasal saline irrigations (16.7%), nasal corticosteroids (8.1%), oral corticosteroids (2.5%), and others (2.5%, eg, vitamins, noncorticoid decongestants, and trace elements). Also, in this multicenter study, gustatory dysfunction was treated in 1.4% of patients: 4 patients were reported to have received treatment consisting of Lcarnitine, or trace elements, and vitamins. 22 We found that 182 (94.3%) patients with smell loss and 135 (93.1%) patients with taste loss completely resolved without any treatment in fourth week after recovery.We found that smell and taste loss were closely related to the COVID-19 disease. However, we found that smell and taste dysfunction do not correlate with the severity of the disease. In addition, we concluded that this dysfunction was highly spontaneous regardless of the severity of the disease. 1. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
