| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics of bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) in osteoporotic males. The medical records of BRONJ patients from 2007 to 2014 were reviewed. The data from only the male patients was extracted, and demographic data was collected and biochemical markers were measured. 11 Patients out of 210 (5 %) being males. Among the 11 patients, the indication of bisphosphonate (BP) was osteoporosis in 9 patients, and cancer in two. In one of the osteoporosis patients, osteoporosis was thought to be secondary to hypogonadism after testicular tumor resection. Serum c-terminal telopetide crosslink of type I collagen (s-CTX) values ranged from 60 to 165 pg/mL (mean: 84.6 ± 36.8, median: 70). Serum osteocalcin (s-OC) ranged from 0 to 5.06 ng/mL (mean: 1.83 ± 1.66, median: 1.5) and vitamin D ranged from 0 to 11.9 (mean: 5.02 ± 4.92, median: 3.5). BRONJ can be overlooked in male patients with osteoporosis. Although the incidence of BRONJ in males may be low, dentists should also check if their male patients are on osteoporosis treatment since osteoporosis in males can be manifested as a secondary disease to hypogonadism. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 September 2016.
All research outputs
#22,759,802
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from SpringerPlus
#1,499
of 1,875 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#308,499
of 348,376 outputs
Outputs of similar age from SpringerPlus
#186
of 224 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,875 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 348,376 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 224 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
