Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| evaluate the response of photobiomodulation and magnetotherapy as adjuvants to the surgical treatment of jaw osteonecrosis induced by the use of sodium alendronate using the Hounsfiel unit gray scale in computed tomography at 0 and 60 days. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Observe the healing of the oral mucosa, according to visual clinical examination and photograph in: closed suture, partially closed suture or open suture with dehiscence and bone exposure. ;Determine postoperative pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).;Analyze the inflammatory and infectious process through biochemical analysis through: Complete blood count, PCR, VHS, CPK and DHL before and after surgery, in addition to measuring the local temperature using a digital thermometer | — |
