SAPHO syndrome in the mandible: A 17-patient-based experience
The diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome involving the mandible is exclusionary. It is important to improve diagnostic accuracy among oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMFS), dentists, and rheumatologists to avoid unnecessary surgery and tooth extraction. TNF-α inhibitors, JAK inhibitors and bisphosphonates are recommended as third-line drugs.
