Abstract
A 12‐year‐old, neutered female, domestic medium hair cat was evaluated for a nonhealing, oral mucosal ulceration. The cat had a history of idiopathic hypercalcemia that had been treated with a bisphosphonate for 41 months. Oral examination identified exposed maxillary bone adjacent to a previous extraction site. Histopathology of the exposed bone and associated mucosa was most consistent with medication‐related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Treatment involved both medical and surgical interventions. Oral mucosal healing occurred after 6 months of treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a preventable complication of antiresorptive treatment. It arises in 1-20% of patients with bone metastases of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies and in 0.1-2% of patients being treated for osteoporosis with bisphosphonates. Depending on the underlying disease and medication dosage, the risk of MRONJ can be elevated even in the first year of antiresorptive treatment. The treatment of MRONJ is difficult and often involves surgery of the jaw. METHODS We systematically reviewed publications retrieved by a selective search for literature on the prevention of MRONJ in the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases and with the aid of the Google Scholar search engine. RESULTS 15 of 559 retrieved publications were included in the analysis. The quality of the evidence in the studies was generally moderate to low, with most of them being case series. In one case series of over 1200 patients with multiple myeloma, the incidence of MRONJ was lowered from 4.6% to 0.8% through regular dental checkups and improved oral hygiene. Tooth extraction, in particular, is associated with a high risk of MRONJ. In a retrospective study, 57% of patients who underwent tooth extraction without antibiotic prophylaxis developed MRONJ, compared to 0% with antibiotic prophylaxis. CONCLUSION Before antiresorptive medication is begun, oral hygiene should be improved. Moreover, it seems that perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis and adequate plastic wound closure can often prevent MRONJ. In view of the fact that bisphosphonates can persist in bone for more than 15 years, patients should be thoroughly informed of the risk that antiresorptive treatment can cause MRONJ, and the measures discussed should be initiated.

Abstract
PURPOSE Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a known complication of antiresorptive medications with surgical and nonsurgical treatment options. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of nonsurgical therapy using local wound care on management of MRONJ lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who presented to the University of California-Los Angeles School of Dentistry Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic for evaluation and treatment of MRONJ. The primary predictor variable was wound care score; secondary predictors were demographics (age, gender), anatomic location, primary condition, and type and time of antiresorptive treatment. Outcomes assessed were disease resolution and time to disease resolution. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Spearman correlation for continuous and ordinal variables or the χ2 test for categorical variables. Time-to-event statistics and Cox proportional hazards models were calculated; a Kaplan-Meier plot was generated to assess time to healing. RESULTS One hundred six patients with 117 MRONJ lesions were treated using local wound care; complete disease resolution was observed 71% of lesions, with an additional 22% of lesions undergoing disease improvement. Wound care score was statistically associated with disease resolution and time to resolution, whereas demographics, anatomic site, condition, and type and time of antiresorptive treatment had no effect on resolution. CONCLUSION Local wound care increased the likelihood of MRONJ resolution and decreased the time to disease resolution. This strategy can be used in patients who cannot undergo surgery and should be implemented in all patients with MRONJ lesions who are managed nonsurgically.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION No official guidelines are available for the management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MR-ONJ). The additional benefit of surgery after pharmacological treatment is debated by both clinicians and patients. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in patients' MR-ONJ-related quality of life (QoL) after pharmacological treatment with or without surgery in a large cohort affected by MR-ONJ. METHODS Anonymized data on patients diagnosed with MR-ONJ were extracted from the database of the Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Treatment Center (University of Messina, Italy) in the years 2005-2015. QoL was evaluated at the moment of MR-ONJ diagnoses (T0), after pharmacological treatment with or without surgery (T1 and T2, respectively), based on scores from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QOL Module for Head and Neck Cancer (global oral health status [GOHS]) and a visual analog scale (VAS), stratified by indication for use. RESULTS Among 100 patients, 36% were affected by osteoporosis (OSTEO group) and 64% were affected by cancer (ONC group). Considering T0, QoL scores were higher in the OSTEO group then in the ONC group. At T1, GOHS and VAS increased in both groups (OSTEO group: +9.9% and +39.9%; ONC group: +35.4 and +97.2%, respectively). Pharmacological treatment was effective in reducing pain (OSTEO group: -22.0%; ONC group: -44.8%), and social contact troubles (OSTEO group: -40.3%; ONC group: -26.7%). At T2, GOHS and VAS further increased. Scores related to 'pain' and the troubles related to the 'social dimension' also decreased (OSTEO group: -91.3% and -72.0%; ONC group: 50.8% and -16.4%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS MR-ONJ-related QoL increased after pharmacological treatment and, more notably, after surgery, which may offer benefits to selected patients. QoL data may help clinicians in promoting tailored management of MR-ONJ.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse reaction of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic agents; it is a potentially painful and debilitating condition that can considerably affect the quality of life of patients. Furthermore, even if its epidemiology and pathogenesis have still not been fully clarified, several risk factors related to MRONJ have been recognized in prevention protocols. Three main risk factors are as follows: (i) the type of ONJ-related medications: antiresorptive (e.g., Bisphosphonates, Denosumab) and antiangiogenic drugs (e.g., Bevacizumab, Sunitinib); (ii) the category of patient at MRONJ risk: cancer versus non-cancer patient; (iii) the typologies and timing of dental treatments (e.g., before, during, or after the drug administration). The aim of this paper is to describe the new paradigm by the Italian Society of Oral Pathology and Medicine (SIPMO) on preventive dental management in patients at risk of MRONJ, prior to and during/after the administration of the aforementioned ONJ-related drugs. In reducing the risk of MRONJ, dentists and oral hygienists are key figures in applying a correct protocol of primary prevention for pre-treatment and in-treatment patients. However, the necessity of a multidisciplinary standardized approach, with a sustained dialogue among specialists involved, should be always adopted in order to improve the efficacy of preventive strategies and to ameliorate the patient's quality of life.

Abstract
The purpose of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to assess the effectiveness of dental interventions in preventing or reducing the incidence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in cancer patients receiving antiresorptive therapy, compared to similar control groups receiving no intervention. Randomized controlled trials (RCT), case-controls and cohorts on cancer patients with primary outcome being the prevalence of MRONJ were included. Four electronic databases were searched (Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science) up to February 12, 2018. A total of 409 abstracts were assessed and one case-control, one RCT and four cohort studies with 2332 cancer patients met our inclusion criteria. Risk of bias analysis followed Cochrane's handbook. Risk of bias was unclear for the case-control study and high risk for the RCT and all cohort studies. Five studies utilized preventive measures consisting of an initial examination and performing all necessary dental treatment before patients initiated antiresorptive therapy; one study used specialized post-extraction protocols utilizing plasma-rich in growth factors (PRGF) on cancer patients receiving antiresorptive therapy. Though dental preventive measures decreased MRONJ incidence by 77.3% in six studies with 2332 cancer patients (95% CI = 47.4-90.2%; p = .001) compared to control groups, quality of the evidence was low due to high or unclear risk of bias and the observational nature of five of the included studies. In conclusion, high-quality long-term prospective large sample size studies are needed to confirm these results due to high risk of bias and heterogeneous interventions. No funding.

Abstract
Purpose: Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a rare but complicated side effect of antiresorptive medications. The aim of the study is to evaluate the dental and drug-related factors related to ONJ among patients on these drugs at a tertiary cancer center, India. Methodology: A retrospective record review of patients who received antiresorptive medication at our center from 2011 to 2014 was done. The demographic factors, type, dosage, and duration of the medication and dental history were collected, and the data were entered an analyzed using Epidata software. Results: A higher incidence of ONJ (8.1%) was noted in our sample (n = 183). Dental intervention after zoledronic acid (ZA) administration showed a statistical significance (P < 0.001). No significance (P value) was noted with respect to sex (0.78), age (0.28), median duration (0.9), and median dosage (0.9) of ZA. Conclusion: Oro-dental screening and dental monitoring shall reduce the incidence of ONJ. Within the limitations of our study, no significant relation could be pointed toward the dosage and duration of the drug and development of ONJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a serious complication of both radiation and antiresorptive therapies. This study aimed to determine how many patients have been treated for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) and osteoradionecrosis (ORN), and whether the number of diagnoses has decreased over time with improved awareness and preventative measures. METHODS Medical records at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Gold Coast University Hospital and Robina Hospital were reviewed to identify patients diagnosed with MRONJ and ORN between January 2003 and May 2017. Data on patient demographics, year of admission and primary disease were analysed. RESULTS Two hundred and thirty-eight patients were diagnosed with ONJ, of which 74.4% were ORN and 25.6% were MRONJ. Tongue (24.6%), floor of mouth (17.3%) and tonsillar (15.1%) squamous cell carcinomas were the most common primary diseases associated with ORN, with a strong male predominance (80%). Of patients diagnosed with MRONJ, 52.5% were taking low-dose antiresorptives for osteoporosis (44.2%), rheumatoid arthritis (4.6%) or Paget's disease (3.3%), while 47.5% were oncology patients receiving high-dose antiresorptives. CONCLUSIONS The number of patients diagnosed with MRONJ and ORN has trended upwards since 2003. ORN affected three times more patients than MRONJ, and patients on low-dose antiresorptives accounted for over half of the MRONJ cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between type of antiresorptive medication and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) onset and the role of premedication dental evaluation (PMDE) in the prevention of MRONJ. STUDY DESIGN Our database of patients with MRONJ was reviewed. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the onset dose of the 3 frequent medication types associated with MRONJ. To evaluate the role of PMDE in the prevention of MRONJ, all patients on antiresorptive and/or antiangiogenic medications seen in the Dental Service of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center during a 10-year period were subclassified into 2 groups. Group I comprised patients seen for PMDE before the commencement of A/A and group II patients seen after prior exposure to antiresorptive and/or antiangiogenic medications. Fischer's exact test was used to compare the incidence of MRONJ in both groups. RESULTS Patients on denosumab developed MRONJ earlier compared with zoledronate and pamidronate (P = .003). Group I had a significantly reduced incidence of MRONJ (0.9%) compared with group II (10.5%) (P < .0001). Dentoalveolar trauma as a precipitating factor between groups I and II was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Denosumab was associated with an earlier occurrence of MRONJ compared with zoledronate and pamidronate. The role of PMDE may be an effective preventive strategy in reducing the incidence of MRONJ.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a major, growing healthcare issue. This is especially of concern in an ageing population like that of Singapore. Osteoporotic patients are at risk of fractures, which can result in increased morbidity and mortality. The use of antiresorptive therapy with bisphosphonates or denosumab has been proven to reduce fracture risk. However, the use of these medications has rarely been associated with the development of osteonecrosis of the jaw, a potentially debilitating condition affecting one or both jaws. Appropriate understanding of the patient's antiresorptive therapy regime, as well as early institution of preventive dental measures, can play an important role in preventing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Regular monitoring and prompt referral to specialist care is warranted for patients with established MRONJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a rare, yet significant, adverse effect of bisphosphonate therapy. A multidisciplinary approach to the prevention of BRONJ is recommended due to the significant morbidity and difficulty treating the condition. Current evidence suggests that both general practitioners (GPs) and community pharmacists have limited knowledge relating to BRONJ and that preventative strategies are rarely implemented. OBJECTIVE To explore the attitudes and perceptions of GPs and community pharmacists on the risks and preventative strategies for the development of BRONJ. DESIGN Interpretivist methodological approach using qualitative semistructured interviews. PARTICIPANTS 9 community pharmacists and 8 GPs. SETTING Primary Care in North East England and Cumbria, UK. METHODS Using a Grounded Theory methodology and integrating a process of constant comparison in the iterative enrichment of data sets, semistructured interviews were undertaken, transcribed and analysed using framework analysis. Salient themes were identified and related back to extant literature in the field. RESULTS Four salient and inter-related themes emerged: (1) uncertain knowledge, indicating limited exposure of respondents to BRONJ, and limited awareness of the implications of its diagnosis, risk factors and preventative strategies; (2) patient specific, referring to the complexity of patients, patient education and prioritising aspects of care; (3) wider context, indicating a lack of interdisciplinary communication and referral processes between professions, workload pressures, access and patient receptivity to dental services; and (4) professional, reflecting professional roles and responsibilities, authority and educational initiatives CONCLUSIONS: Effective communication or collaborative care between GPs and community pharmacists for the prevention of BRONJ is not apparent. Interventions to mitigate against the risk of developing BRONJ and clarity of GP and community pharmacy roles are required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) developed more rapidly in patients who switched from bisphosphonates (BP) treatment to denosumab than in patients who received only denosumab. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary referral center. Thirty-one patients with ONJ met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS Twenty-two patients who had been on BP were switched to denosumab (BP + D), whereas 9 patients received only denosumab. Both groups were similar for the known ONJ risk factors, that is, age, diabetes mellitus, and smoking. The number and cumulative doses of denosumab before the onset of ONJ symptoms were significantly lower among the BP + D group compared with the denosumab-only group (P = .025 and .018, respectively). In the BP + D group, ONJ symptoms developed in 9 patients (41%) following the administration of ≤3 denosumab doses compared with ONJ developing in only 1 patient (11%) who was naïve to BP. ONJ developed spontaneously without any known triggering event in 72.7% of patients in the BP + D group and in 77.8% of patients in the denosumab-only group. CONCLUSIONS Denosumab-induced ONJ might develop rapidly in patients previously treated with BP. ONJ developed spontaneously in most patients treated with denosumab. In light of our sample being small, there is need for further investigation on our conclusions.

Abstract
Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaws is a complication after treatment with antiresorptive drugs. Bisphosphonates (BPs) are widely used to treat conditions with bone metastases of malignant tumors such as multiple myeloma, breast cancer, prostatic cancer, as well as hypercalcemia of malignancy, osteoporosis, Paget’s disease, and osteogenesis imperfecta. Denosumab is an antiresorptive agent that is used for the treatment of osteoporosis or metastatic bone diseases. These antiresorptive agents improve the quality of life of patients by increasing strength and bone mineral density, and reducing the risk of bone fractures. More than a decade had passed since the first publication of this pathology, and the occurrence of the disease, its pathophysiology, and proper treatment methods are still not fully elucidated. Prevention is critical in medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, because the treatment is difficult, and there are no universally accepted treatment protocols. There is an accepted approach of palliation of symptoms and controlling the associated infections. Treatment may follow one of three procedures: conservative management of pain, conservative or extensive (segmental) surgery, depending on the disease stage.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) has been associated with antiresorptive therapy in both oncology and osteoporosis patients. This debilitating condition is very rare and advances in diagnosis and management may now effectively reduce the risk of its development and offer valuable treatment options for affected patients. This paper provides a case-based review of ONJ and application of the International Task Force on ONJ (referred to as the "Task Force") recommendations for the diagnosis and management of ONJ. The Task Force was supported by 14 international societies and achieved consensus from representatives of these multidisciplinary societies on key issues pertaining to the diagnosis and management of ONJ. The frequency of ONJ in oncology patients receiving oncology doses of bisphosphonate (BP) or denosumab is estimated at 1%-15%, and the frequency in the osteoporosis patient population receiving much lower doses of BP or denosumab is estimated at 0.001%-0.01%. Although the diagnosis of ONJ is primarily clinical, imaging may be helpful in confirming the diagnosis and staging. In those with multiple risk factors for ONJ for whom major invasive oral surgery is being planned, interruption of BP or denosumab therapy (in cancer patients) is advised, if possible, before surgery, until the surgical site heals. Major oral surgery in this context could include multiple extractions if surgical extractions are required, not simple forceps extractions. ONJ development may be reduced by optimizing oral hygiene and postoperatively using topical and systemic antibiotics as appropriate. Periodontal disease should be managed before starting oncology doses of BP or denosumab. Local debridement may be successful in disease unresponsive to conservative therapy. Successful surgical intervention has been reported in those with stage 3 disease; less severe disease is best managed conservatively. Teriparatide may be helpful in healing ONJ lesions and may be considered in osteoporosis patients at a high fracture risk in the absence of contraindications. Resumption of BP or denosumab therapy following healing of ONJ lesions is recommended, and there have not been reports of subsequent local recurrence.

Abstract
Abstract This paper describes two cases in which the use of leucocyte-rich and platelet-rich fibrin (LPRF) combined with bone resection did not result in complete tissue response in the treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). It has been recently described in patients receiving subcutaneous administration of RANK-inhibitors, such as Denosumab, and anti-angiogenic drugs, such as Bevacizumab, as observed in our cases. Due to promising results in recent studies, more patients will receive these medications in order to avoid skeletal complications due to metastatic bone disease and, therefore, this scenario has a potential to become a comparable challenge to the bisphosphonate- induced jaw necrosis in the area of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. No convincing surgical technique has been described to overcome the non-healing mucosal lesions with exposed bone due to RANK-inhibitor therapy. Based on the findings in the literature and in both cases described herein can be concluded that the use of LPRF should be considered in the treatment of patients with DRONJ.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe adverse drug reaction, consisting of progressive bone destruction in the maxillofacial region of patients. ONJ can be caused by two pharmacological agents: Antiresorptive (including bisphosphonates (BPs) and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand inhibitors) and antiangiogenic. MRONJ pathophysiology is not completely elucidated. There are several suggested hypothesis that could explain its unique localization to the jaws: Inflammation or infection, microtrauma, altered bone remodeling or over suppression of bone resorption, angiogenesis inhibition, soft tissue BPs toxicity, peculiar biofilm of the oral cavity, terminal vascularization of the mandible, suppression of immunity, or Vitamin D deficiency. Dental screening and adequate treatment are fundamental to reduce the risk of osteonecrosis in patients under antiresorptive or antiangiogenic therapy, or before initiating the administration. The treatment of MRONJ is generally difficult and the optimal therapy strategy is still to be established. For this reason, prevention is even more important. It is suggested that a multidisciplinary team approach including a dentist, an oncologist, and a maxillofacial surgeon to evaluate and decide the best therapy for the patient. The choice between a conservative treatment and surgery is not easy, and it should be made on a case by case basis. However, the initial approach should be as conservative as possible. The most important goals of treatment for patients with established MRONJ are primarily the control of infection, bone necrosis progression, and pain. The aim of this paper is to represent the current knowledge about MRONJ, its preventive measures and management strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Some recent reports have indicated that local infection causes osteonecrosis of the jaw and described that tooth extraction may not be a direct cause of developing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients receiving antiresorptive medications. Tooth extraction and elimination of the source of infection are expected to reduce the risk of developing MRONJ. However, there is no data regarding prevention for developing osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients receiving denosumab. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of tooth extractions with proper wound closure in patients receiving denosumab. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty teeth in 19 patients treated with denosumab therapy were extracted under preoperative intravenous antibiotics. Patients who had already developed MRONJ in the extraction sites or who had a history of radiation therapy were excluded. During surgery, bone edges were smoothed and all wounds were closed using the double-layered technique. RESULTS Thirty-seven extraction sites (92.5 %) in 17 out of 19 patients (89.5 %) were healed. However, three extraction sites in two patients had complications; one patient had exposed bone and developed MRONJ (stage 1) and the other developed a mucosa fistula. Additional surgical procedures were performed and all wounds were completely healed. CONCLUSIONS Tooth extractions in patients receiving denosumab can be performed in an appropriate manner and result in good outcomes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study indicated that tooth extraction with proper wound closure to avoid secondary infection may be effective for the prevention of MRONJ even in high-risk patients.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are the most widely prescribed drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis, and are also used in malignant bone metastases, multiple myeloma, and Paget's disease, and provide therapeutic efficacy on those diseases. However, it was reported that occurrence of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) could be related with bisphosphonate exposures, and there have been many cases regarding this issue. Therefore, a clearer definition and treatment guidelines were needed for this disease. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) and American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) reported statements on bisphosphonate-related ONJ (BRONJ), and a revised version was recently presented. In the revised edition, the diagnosis BRONJ was changed to medication-related ONJ (MRONJ), which reflects a consideration of the fact that ONJ also occurs for denosumab, a bone resorption inhibitor of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) antibody family, and bevacizumab, an anti-angiogenesis inhibitor. In 2009, a statement on ONJ was also reported locally by a relevant organization, which has served as basis for clinical treatment in Korea. In addition to the new official stance of the AAOMS and ASBMR, with an increasing pool of ONJ clinical experience, a revised version of the 2009 local statement is needed. As such, the Korean Society for Bone and Mineral Research (KSBMR) and the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (KAOMS) have collectively formed a committee for the preparation of an official statement on MRONJ, and have reviewed recent local and international data to propose guidelines customized for the local Korean situation.

Abstract
For patients at risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), information can be provided by the pharmaceutical manufacturer, pharmacist, prescribing physician, dentist, and oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Prevention strategies to reduce the incidence of osteonecrosis should be applied as soon as it is determined that a patient will be placed on antiresorptive medication. Proper screening involves a comprehensive oral examination with radiographs followed by oral hygiene instruction and necessary dental treatment; surgical techniques and adjunctive therapies that favor optimum healing of bone and soft tissue decrease the risk of ONJ. No dental procedures are absolutely contraindicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a destructive bone process in patients undergoing bisphosphonate therapy and it is modulated by local and systemic factors. The purpose of this article is to determine the prevalence of ONJ in patients who have undergone intravenous bisphosphonate therapy, and relate the risk factors described to establish a protocol to reduce the risk of developing ONJ. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective study on 194 patients treated with IV bisphosponates, analyzing clinical and pathological variables. RESULTS The prevalence of ONJ was 12.9 %. The most remarkable complication was pain, which was reported by 80% of patients. The average age of the patients undergoing bisphosphonate therapy was 68.91 years. Most of non-diabetic patients did not develop ONJ (92.3%) (p=0.048). During bisphosphonate therapy, 3.1% of patients underwent extractions in the same percentage in the maxilla and in the mandible; all of which, except for one patient, developed ONJ (p<0.001). In regards to the periodontal state, 94.3% of patients without periodontal problems did not develop ONJ (p=0.001). Almost 50% of the necrosis were located unifocally on the mandible (p<0.001). The number of affected patients and the aggressiveness of the disease increased significantly three years after starting treatment (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Etiology still is a controversial issue and we should focus on known risk factors, such as the development of surgical procedures in patients undergoing bisphosphonate therapy, especially in patients who have already started their treatment, a group in which ONJ prevalence increases. Moreover, a bad periodontal state in these patients is also an important risk factor, and the control of diabetes reduces it. Due to the above, all patients should be diagnosed and educated in oral hygiene prior to treatment, performing periodical maintenance, to detect possible traumatisms and periodontal infection as soon as possible.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a serious side effect of bisphosphonate use in patients with osteoporosis, Paget's disease, hypercalcemia of malignancy, metastatic bone disease and multiple myeloma, although recently this complication has also been reported in patients under non-bisphosphonate medication, such as denosumab and bevacizumab. The occurrence of ONJ is higher in oncology patients treated with high-dose iv bisphosphonates than in osteoporosis patients treated with oral bisphosphonates. Although multiple hypotheses have been proposed, the exact pathogenic mechanism of ONJ still remains unclear. As treatment protocols based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) do not exist, we critically reviewed the existing data concerning the management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, including the most recent data for the use of teriparatide and hyperbaric oxygen.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of saliva as a medium for the identification of biomarkers associated with bone resorption and formation. The authors hypothesized that biomarkers, such as N-telopeptide of type I collagen (NTX) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (B-AP), could be identified in saliva. They further hypothesized that there would be a difference between these biomarkers in the saliva of patients with medication-relation osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) and those who have no risk factors for the development of MRONJ. PATIENTS AND METHODS This case-and-control study compared 2 salivary biomarkers, NTX and B-AP, in a group of patients with MRONJ and a control group. The predictor variable was the presence or absence of the disease (MRONJ or control group); the outcome variables were the levels of the 2 salivary biomarkers, NTX and B-AP. Saliva samples from 20 patients with a diagnosis of MRONJ and 14 control participants who were comparable to the study group with no history of antiresorptive medication use were collected. The saliva samples were analyzed using 2 commercially available assays for NTX and B-AP to evaluate for levels of each marker. A 2-tailed t test for 2 groups of unequal distribution was used for statistical analysis, with P values less than .05 considered statistically. RESULTS The 2 biomarkers, NTX and B-AP, were detected in saliva samples from the MRONJ and control groups. A statistically significant difference was found in the levels of NTX in saliva of patients with MRONJ compared with the control participants (P = .0067). CONCLUSIONS In this exploratory study, the 2 bone deterioration biomarkers (NTX and B-AP) were detected in saliva. There was a statistical difference in the levels of salivary NTX between patients with MRONJ and controls. Saliva evaluation could provide a novel method to detect, diagnose, stage, and potentially guide treatment decisions and monitor outcomes for patients with MRONJ in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of Brazilian dentists (DEN) and dental students (DS) about bisphosphonates (BP) and bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). METHODS A convenience sample of 104 DEN and 100 DS was randomly selected and invited to answer a questionnaire. The questionnaire was structured on the basis of the main information about BP and the risk factors associated with the development of BRONJ. The data obtained were analyzed by the chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, considering significance of 5%. RESULTS Seventy-five (72.1%) DEN and 75 (75%) DS did not know the BP cited in the questionnaire (p < 0.0001), and their commercial brand names were not recognized by 88 (84.6%) DEN and 86 (86%) DS (p < 0.0001). In the same way, 62 (59.6%) DEN (p = 0.04) and 58 (58%) DS (p < 0.0001) did not recognize BRONJ as an oral side effect of BP or point out oral conditions that were not associated with the use of BP. CONCLUSIONS Practical initiatives, such as free lectures and workshops, must be taken to broaden the knowledge of DEN and DS about BP and thus contribute to the prevention of BRONJ.

Abstract
This work provides a systematic review of the literature from January 2003 to April 2014 pertaining to the incidence, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), and offers recommendations for its management based on multidisciplinary international consensus. ONJ is associated with oncology-dose parenteral antiresorptive therapy of bisphosphonates (BP) and denosumab (Dmab). The incidence of ONJ is greatest in the oncology patient population (1% to 15%), where high doses of these medications are used at frequent intervals. In the osteoporosis patient population, the incidence of ONJ is estimated at 0.001% to 0.01%, marginally higher than the incidence in the general population (<0.001%). New insights into the pathophysiology of ONJ include antiresorptive effects of BPs and Dmab, effects of BPs on gamma delta T-cells and on monocyte and macrophage function, as well as the role of local bacterial infection, inflammation, and necrosis. Advances in imaging include the use of cone beam computerized tomography assessing cortical and cancellous architecture with lower radiation exposure, magnetic resonance imaging, bone scanning, and positron emission tomography, although plain films often suffice. Other risk factors for ONJ include glucocorticoid use, maxillary or mandibular bone surgery, poor oral hygiene, chronic inflammation, diabetes mellitus, ill-fitting dentures, as well as other drugs, including antiangiogenic agents. Prevention strategies for ONJ include elimination or stabilization of oral disease prior to initiation of antiresorptive agents, as well as maintenance of good oral hygiene. In those patients at high risk for the development of ONJ, including cancer patients receiving high-dose BP or Dmab therapy, consideration should be given to withholding antiresorptive therapy following extensive oral surgery until the surgical site heals with mature mucosal coverage. Management of ONJ is based on the stage of the disease, size of the lesions, and the presence of contributing drug therapy and comorbidity. Conservative therapy includes topical antibiotic oral rinses and systemic antibiotic therapy. Localized surgical debridement is indicated in advanced nonresponsive disease and has been successful. Early data have suggested enhanced osseous wound healing with teriparatide in those without contraindications for its use. Experimental therapy includes bone marrow stem cell intralesional transplantation, low-level laser therapy, local platelet-derived growth factor application, hyperbaric oxygen, and tissue grafting.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BP) are commonly used in individuals with thalassaemia to stabilise bone remodelling. However, in recent years, evidence has emerged that bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BONJ) may occur. Cases of BONJ have recently been confirmed in individuals with thalassaemia. The aim of the presentation is to detail the prevalence of BONJ, outline the presentation (exposed vs. non-exposed), describe the management strategies that have been proposed, and discuss some risk reduction strategies.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of bevacizumab (BVZ) on the severity of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in a cohort of cancer patients treated with intravenous zoledronic acid (ZA). We reviewed 42 oncologic patients with ONJ between 2007 and 2010. Only patients with solids tumors and who had received ZA were included. Data analyses included age, sex, underlying disease, ZA and BVZ dosages, dental history and ONJ characteristics. Of the 42 ONJ patients treated with ZA, 10 also received BVZ. In the 10 ZA/BVZ patients, the mean duration of ZA treatment at the time of ONJ diagnosis was 12.4 months (±6.8), compared to 22.9 months (±4.8) in the 32 patients who received ZA only (p<0.05). Cox's model analysis of the delay to ONJ diagnosis confirmed the impact of BVZ on ONJ diagnosis. In the ZA/BVZ-treated group, 7 (70%) patients developed spontaneous osteonecrosis. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that ZA/BVZ is associated with increased risk of developing spontaneous ONJ (OR 6.07; 95% CI, [1.3-28.2], p<0.05). And finally, the number of ONJ lesions was increased in the ZA/BVZ-treated group compared to the ZA group (p<0.01). Other clinical conditions as type of tumor (prostate, breast…), cancer severity or other chemotherapy drugs also could be involved in ONJ evolution. However, this study demonstrates for the first time the potential negative influence of BVZ on the incidence and severity of ONJ in patients receiving ZA. Within the study limits, our results suggest that combination ZA/BVZ treatment may possibly predispose to the development of spontaneous and earlier ONJ.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The intravenous injection of bisphosphonates, currently used for osteoporosis, myeloma, or bone metastases, can cause ONJ especially in consequence of trauma. To avoid trauma during bisphosphonate treatment, preventive oral surgery is recommended. The research aimed to evidence whether inflammatory and osteoclastogenic factors are not induced in oral mucosa after bisphosphonate treatment in patients receiving oral preventive surgery procedure and whether proliferation factors are not inhibited. PATIENTS AND METHODS Specimens of oral mucosa were removed from healthy subjects and from patients undergoing preventive oral surgery before bisphosphonate treatment. The expression of cytokines and factors involved in osteoclast activity, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis were examined. RESULTS Cytokines and RANK-L levels decreased significantly in mucosa from patients undergoing preventive oral surgery procedure before bisphosphonate treatment in comparison with their levels at the beginning of procedure and also in comparison with the level in patients treated only with bisphosphonates and not developing ONJ; conversely, osteoprotegerin and hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase significantly increased or not changed. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that preventive oral surgery could be able to prevent ONJ due to bisphosphonate treatment: The mucosa is not stimulated by bisphosphonates to cause ONJ, as bisphosphonates are probably not released from the bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates (BPs) are currently the chief drugs for the prevention/treatment of osteoporosis; one of their adverse effects is the osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). The primary endpoints of this multi-center cross-sectional study are: i) an observation of the clinical features of BRONJ in 87 osteoporotic, non-cancer patients; and ii) an evaluation of their demographic variables and comorbidities. METHODS 87 BRONJ patients in therapy for osteoporosis with BPs from 8 participating clinical Italian centers were consecutively identified and studied. After BRONJ diagnosis and staging, comorbidities and data relating to local and drug-related risk factors for BRONJ were collected. RESULTS 77/87 (88.5%) patients in our sample used alendronate as a BP type; the duration of bisphosphonate therapy ranged from 2 to 200 months, and 51.7% of patients were in treatment for ≤ 38 months (median value). No comorbidities or local risk factors were observed in 17 (19.5%) patients, indicating the absence of cases belonging to BRONJ forms triggered by surgery. BRONJ localization was significantly associated with age: an increased risk of mandible localization (p=0.002; OR=6.36, 95%CI=[1.89; 21.54]) was observed for those over 72 yrs. At multivariate analysis, the increased risk of BRONJ in the mandible for people over 72 yrs (OR'=6.87, 95%CI=[2.13; 2.21]) was confirmed for a BP administration >56 months (OR'=4.82, 95%CI=[2.13; 22.21]). CONCLUSION Our study confirms the fundamental necessity of applying protocols of prevention in order to reduce the incidence of BRONJ in osteoporotic, non-cancer patients in the presence of comorbidities and/or local risk factor as well as, less frequently, in their absence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To conduct a literature review on sodium alendronate, focusing on osteonecrosis of the jaws, a serious potential side effect. BACKGROUND Sodium alendronate is a bisphosphonate that is widely used for the treatment of osteopenia, osteoporosis and Paget's disease. Like other bisphosphonates, it inhibits bone resorption by inactivating osteoclasts. Alendronate has evident benefits in the treatment of these diseases, but it is associated with jaw osteonecrosis, although less frequently compared with intravenous bisphosphonates. Therefore, some preventive measures should be taken to avoid this side effect. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed the literature regarding the pharmacological aspects, mechanism of action, indications of use and side effects of sodium alendronate, as well as the management of patients under this therapy. CONCLUSION The benefits of sodium alendronate are scientifically proven, but a serious adverse effect is osteonecrosis. Therefore, it is crucial to prepare the oral cavity before bisphosphonate therapy, providing a careful dental evaluation and all needed dental treatment.

Abstract
Purpose In patients with early breast cancer, adjuvant zoledronic acid (zoledronate) may reduce recurrence and improve survival. However, zoledronate is associated with the occasional development of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). We report on the frequency of ONJ and investigate oral health–related quality of life (Oral-QoL) in a large randomized trial (Adjuvant Zoledronic Acid to Reduce Recurrence [AZURE]). Patients and Methods Three thousand three hundred sixty women with stage II or III breast cancer were randomly assigned to receive standard adjuvant systemic therapy alone or with zoledronate administered at a dose of 4 mg for 19 doses over 5 years. All potential occurrences of ONJ were reported as serious adverse events and centrally reviewed. Additionally, we invited 486 study participants to complete the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) to assess Oral-QoL around the time the patients completed 5 years on study. Multivariable linear regression was used to calculate mean scores and 95% CIs in addition to identifying independent prognostic factors. Results With a median follow-up time of 73.9 months (interquartile range, 60.7 to 84.2 months), 33 possible cases of ONJ were reported, all in the zoledronate-treated patients. Twenty-six cases were confirmed as being consistent with a diagnosis of ONJ, representing a cumulative incidence of 2.1% (95% CI, 0.9% to 3.3%) in the zoledronate arm. Three hundred sixty-two patients (74%) returned the OHIP-14 questionnaire. Neither the prevalence nor severity of impacts on Oral-QoL differed significantly between zoledronate patients and control patients. Conclusion Adjuvant zoledronate used in the intensive schedule studied in the AZURE trial is associated with a low incidence of ONJ but does not seem to adversely affect Oral-QoL.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study is to gain a better understanding of the overall incidence and risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in cancer patients receiving denosumab. METHODS We performed a meta-analysis of relevant randomized controlled trials identified in Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Abstracts presented at the conferences were also searched. Overall incidence rates, relative risk (RR), and 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated employing fixed- or random-effects models depending on the heterogeneity of the included trials. RESULTS A total of 8963 patients with a variety of solid tumors from 7 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included for the meta-analysis. The overall incidence of ONJ in cancer patients receiving denosumab was 1.7 % [95 % CI: 0.9-3.1 %]. Also, the use of denosumab was associated with significantly increased risk of ONJ in comparison with bisphosphonates (BPs)/placebo treatment (RR 1.61, 95 % CI: 1.05-2.48, P = 0.029). Subgroup analysis based on controlled therapies demonstrated an increased risk of ONJ in denosumab therapy, when compared with BPs (RR 1.48, 95 % CI: 0.96-2.29, P = 0.078) or placebo (RR 16.28, 95 % CI: 1.68-158.05, P = 0.017). Similar results were observed in prostate cancer (RR 3.358, 95 % CI: 1.573-7.166, P = 0.002) while there was a non-significantly increased risk of denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (DONJ) in non-prostate cancers (RR 1.142, 95 % CI: 0.678-1.921, P = 0.618). CONCLUSIONS The use of denosumab is associated with an increased risk of developing ONJ when compared with BP treatment or placebo, although the increased risk was not statistically significant between denosumab and BP treatment. Further studies are still needed to establish guidelines for the prevention and effective treatment of ONJ.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We report long-term follow-up of patients with intravenous bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). STUDY DESIGN Medical and dental histories, including type and duration of bisphosphonate treatment and comorbidities, were analyzed and compared with clinical course of 109 patients with BRONJ at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Dental Service. RESULTS Median onset of BRONJ in months was 21 (zoledronic acid), 30 (pamidronate), and 36 (pamidronate plus zoledronic acid), with a significant difference between the pamidronate plus zoledronic acid and zoledronic acid groups (P = .01; Kruskal-Wallis). The median number of doses for BRONJ onset was significantly less with zoledronic acid (n = 18) than pamidronte plus zoledronic acid (n = 36; P = .001), but not pamidronate alone (n = 29). An association between diabetes (P = .05), decayed-missing-filled teeth (P = .02), and smoking (P = .03) and progression of BRONJ was identified through χ(2) test. CONCLUSIONS This long-term follow-up of BRONJ cases enhances the literature and contributes to the knowledge of BRONJ clinical course.

Oral mucosa produces cytokines and factors influencing osteoclast activity and endothelial cell proliferation, in patients with osteonecrosis of jaw after treatment with zoledronic acid. Clin Oral Investig 2012; 17:1259-66.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The intravenous injection of bisphosphonates, currently used as treatment for osteoporosis, bone Paget's disease, multiple myeloma, or bone metastases, can cause jaw bone necrosis especially in consequence of trauma. The present research aimed to clarify the mechanisms underlying bone necrosis, exploring involvement of the oral mucosa "in vivo." PATIENTS AND METHODS Specimens of oral mucosa were removed from bisphosphonate-treated patients with or without jaw bone necrosis. In mucosa specimens, expression was evaluated of: cytokines involved in the inflammatory process, factors involved in osteoclast activity, i.e., receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin, a factor involved in cell proliferation, namely hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, and a factor involved in angiogenesis, namely vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). RESULTS Interleukin (IL)-6 and the RANK/osteoprotegerin ratio were significantly elevated in mucosa from patients with versus without jaw necrosis, whereas hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase and VEGF were significantly decreased. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that mucosa, stimulated by bisphosphonate released from the bone, can contribute to the development of jaw necrosis, reducing VEGF, and producing IL-6 in consequence of hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase reduction. In turn, IL-6 stimulates osteoclast activity, as shown by the increased RANKL/osteoprotegerin ratio. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The results of this study suggest the importance of evaluating during bisphosphonate treatment the production of IL-6, RANKL, osteoprotegerin, and VEGF, in order to monitor the jaw osteonecrosis onset. To avoid repeated mucosa excisions, the determination of these factors could be carried out in crevicular fluid.
