Dentomaxillofac Radiol 2024; 53:407-416. [PMID: 38810135 PMCID: PMC11358619 DOI: 10.1093/dmfr/twae024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the most distinctive quantitative radiomorphometric parameter(s) for the detection of MRONJ-affected bone changes in panoramic radiography (PR) and cone-beam CT (CBCT). METHODS PR and sagittal CBCT slices of 24 MRONJ patients and 22 healthy controls were used for the measurements of mandibular cortical thickness (MCT), fractal dimension (FD), lacunarity, mean gray value (MGV), bone area fraction (BA/TA), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular number (Tb.N). MCT was measured in the mental foramen region. While FD and lacunarity were measured on mandibular trabecular and cortical regions-of-interest (ROIs), the remaining parameters were measured on trabecular ROIs. The independent samples t-test was used to compare the measurements between the MRONJ and control groups for both imaging modalities (P = .05). RESULTS MCT was the only parameter that differentiated MRONJ-affected bone in both PR and CBCT (P < .05). None of the remaining parameters revealed any difference for MRONJ-affected bone in CBCT (P > .05). FD, lacunarity, MGV, BA/TA, and Tb.Sp could distinguish MRONJ-affected trabecular bone in PR (P < .05). The correspondent ROI for both imaging methods that was reliable for detecting MRONJ-affected bone was the trabecular bone distal to the mental foramen above the inferior alveolar canal (ROI-3). CONCLUSIONS MCT is a reliable parameter for the discrimination of MRONJ-affected bone in both PR and CBCT images. PR may be used to detect MRONJ-affected trabecular bone using FD, lacunarity, MGV, BA/TA, and Tb.Sp measurements as well.

[PMID: 37910240 PMCID: PMC10713659 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-05359-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of various antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications on morphological changes in periodontal and oral tissue structures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-five Wistar rats randomly received dual application (i.e., at baseline and after 12-weeks) one of the following medications: (1) amino-bisphosphonate [zoledronate (Zo)], (2) RANKL inhibitor [denosumab (De)], (3) antiangiogenic [bevacizumab (Be)], (4) Zo + Be, (5) De + Be or (6) no medication [Control (Co)]. Periodontal and oral tissue biopsies were obtained at 17 (n = 21 animals, Phase 1, (De = 3, De + Be = 3, Zo = 5, Be = 3, Zo + Be = 2, Co = 5) and 29 (n = 34 animals, (De = 8, De + Be = 6, Zo = 2, Be = 7, Zo + Be = 4, Co = 7, Phase 2) weeks after the second drug application. The following outcomes were histomorphometrically assessed: periodontal space width in the coronal (PLS-C, mm) and apical sections (PLS- A), number of empty alveolar bone lacunae in the coronal, apical sections and at the apex at respective tooth sites (EL - C, EL- A, EL- Ap), mucosal thickness at edentulous alveolar ridge areas (MT, mm), and, when present, associated areas of inflammatory cell infiltrates (ICI, mm2). RESULTS Comparable mean PLS-C, PLS-A, ET-A, ET-C, ET-Ap, and MT values were observed in all experimental groups after Phases 1 and 2. The presence of ICI was identified in 3 animals in the Co group (Phase 1: 1, Phase 2: 2), and 17 animals in the test groups (Phase 1: 4; Phase 2: 14). The estimated ICI surface area was significantly higher in the Zo + Be group, followed by the Zo and Be groups compared to that measured in the Co group. The time (i.e., Phases 1 and 2) was not found to be a predictor for the extent of the ICI area. In all groups, the EL-C, EL-A, and EL-Ap values were significantly higher after Phase 2 compared to those assessed after Phase 1. The MT values were significantly reduced in all groups after Phase 2 compared to those measured after Phase 1. CONCLUSIONS The present evaluation was not able to find any morphological effects of different antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications on periodontal and oral tissue structures. The presence of inflammatory cell infiltrates was more frequently observed in the animals administered with antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications as well as combinations thereof. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Administration of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications may be capable of inducing inflammatory reactions in periodontal tissues.

J Appl Oral Sci 2023; 31:e20230133. [PMID: 37792808 PMCID: PMC10547385 DOI: 10.1590/1678-7757-2023-0133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is characterized by bone exposure for more than eight weeks in patients who have used or been treated with antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drugs, without a history of radiation therapy or metastatic diseases in the jaws. Obesity is associated with changes in periodontal tissues and oral microbiota that are linked to bone alterations. This study aimed to analyze the influence of obesity on the development of bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis. The experiment randomly and simply divided 24 male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) into four groups: healthy, with osteonecrosis, obese, and obese with osteonecrosis (n=6 per group). Osteonecrosis was induced through weekly intraperitoneal injection for eight weeks at a dose of 250 µg/kg of zoledronic acid in a 4 mg/5 mL solution, combined with trauma (exodontia). Obesity was induced through a high glycaemic index diet. Each group was qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated regarding the development of models and pathological anatomy of the lesions. The results were expressed in mean percentage and standard deviation and statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's post-hoc test, with a significance level of 5% (p<0.05) to establish differences found between the groups. Animals in the osteonecrosis group and the obese with osteonecrosis group presented larger necrosis areas (averages: 172.83±18,19 µm2 and 290.33±15,77 µm2, respectively) (p<0,0001). Bone sequestration, hepatic steatosis, and increased adipocyte size were observed in the obese group (average: 97.75±1.91 µm2) and in the obese with osteonecrosis group (average: 98.41±1.56 µm2), indicating greater tissue damage in these groups (p<0,0001). All parameters analyzed (through histological, morphometric, and murinometric analyses) increased for the obese and obese with osteonecrosis groups, suggesting a possible influence of obesity on the results. However, further studies are needed to confirm the role of obesity in the possible exacerbation of osteonecrosis and understand the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the extension of experimentally induced peri-implantitis lesions under various antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fourty-eight albino rats had randomly received the following medications (dual application, n = 8 each): (1) amino-bisphosphonate (zoledronate) (Zo), (2) RANKL inhibitor (denosumab) (De), (3) antiangiogenic (bevacizumab) (Be), (4) Zo+Be, (5) De+Be, or (6) no medication (Co). Ligature- and lipopolysaccharide-induced peri-implantitis lesions were established at 2 maxillary implants over a period of 16 weeks. Histological (e.g., apical extension and surface area of the inflammatory cell infiltrate-aICT, ICT; defect length; defect width; CD68 positive cells) and bone micromorphometric (μCT) outcomes were assessed. The animal was defined as a statistical unit. RESULTS A total of n = 38 animals (Zo = 6, De = 6, Be = 8, Zo + Be = 6, De + Be = 5, Co = 7) were analyzed. ICT's were commonly marked by a positive CD68 antigen reactivity. Comparable median aICT (lowest-Zo: 0.53 mm; highest-Be: 1.22 mm), ICT (lowest-De + Be: 0.00 mm2; highest-Co: 0.49 mm2), defect length (lowest-Zo: 0.90 mm; highest-Co: 1.93 mm) and defect width (lowest-De+Be: 1.27 mm; highest-Be: 1.80 mm) values were noted in all test and control groups. Within an inner (diameter: 0.8 mm) cylindric volume of interest, the bone microstructure did not significantly differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS The present analysis did not reveal any marked effects of various antiresorptive/ antiangiogenic medications on the extension of experimentally induced peri-implantitis lesions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The extension of peri-implantitis lesions may not be facilitated by the antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications investigated.

Significance of medication discontinuation on bisphosphonate-related jaw osteonecrosis in a rat model. Sci Rep 2022; 12:21449. [PMID: 36509781 PMCID: PMC9744902 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-25347-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Bisphosphonate (BP) discontinuation has been advised as a measure to prevent the incidence of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), however, its efficacy remains controversial. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of BP discontinuation in reducing BRONJ severity following tooth extraction in a rat model. Thirty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two BRONJ model categories: oral administration (PO) of alendronate (1 mg/kg) for 3 and 8 weeks and intraperitoneal (IP) injection of pamidronate (3 mg/kg) and dexamethasone (1 mg/kg) for 20 days. The PO model was divided into five groups (a control group without BPs and four experimental groups with 1-week discontinuation). The IP model was divided into two groups consisting of group I (without discontinuation) and group II (1-week discontinuation). One molar from both sides of the mandible was extracted. After extraction, the PO models were sacrificed at 3 and 5 weeks, and the IP models were sacrificed either immediately or at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. Micro-CT showed non-significant differences among PO groups but significant differences were observed between IP groups. Most bone remodeling parameters within group I of the IP model differed significantly (p-value < 0.05). Histologically, group I showed a significantly higher percentage of necrotic bone than group II (51.93 ± 12.75%, p < 0.05) and a higher number of detached osteoclasts in TRAP staining. With discontinuation of medication for at least 1 week in rats, the effects of BPs on alveolar bone are suppressed and bone turnover and osteoclast functions are restored.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to volumetrically assess changes in the periodontal microstructure under antiresorptive therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Microtomographic scans from a total of 9 Dutch Belted rabbits having been randomly allocated to either the intravenous administration of amino-bisphosphonate (zoledronic acid) (Za) (n = 5) or a negative control group (nZa) (n = 4) were obtained at 10 months following a repeated drug administration. A quantification of the periodontal space thickness (P.Th) of both maxillary and mandibular most posterior premolars, as well as of the 2nd molars was performed. Bone micromorphometry was assessed by means of bone volume per total volume (BV/TV), the bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N), bone surface (BS), and the specific bone surface (BS/BV). RESULTS Za was associated with significantly higher P.Th (P = 0.010), which was most pronounced in the upper jaw. Bone micromorphometry revealed no significant differences among the two groups, i.e., Za and nZa, for all the investigated parameters. CONCLUSIONS Volumetric analysis revealed that antiresorptive therapy was associated with periodontal space widening, whereas major effects on the bone micro-morphology could not be observed. CLINICAL RELEVANCE A deep understanding of specific periodontal and alveolar bone alterations in patients under antiresorptive therapy might help to prevent the onset of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a potentially severe adverse event affecting patients with cancer and patients with osteoporosis who have been treated with powerful antiresorptives (pARs) or angiogenesis inhibitors (AgIs). pARs, including nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs; e.g., zoledronic acid, alendronate) and anti-RANKL antibodies (e.g., denosumab), are used to manage bone metastases in patients with cancer or to prevent fragility fractures in patients with osteoporosis. Though significant advances have been made in understanding MRONJ, its pathophysiology is still not fully elucidated. Multiple species have been used in preclinical MRONJ research, including the rat, mouse, rice rat, rabbit, dog, sheep, and pig. Animal research has contributed immensely to advancing the MRONJ field, particularly, but not limited to, in developing models and investigating risk factors that were first observed in humans. MRONJ models have been developed using clinically relevant doses of systemic risk factors, like N-BPs, anti-RANKL antibodies, or AgIs. Specific local oral risk factors first noted in humans, including tooth extraction and inflammatory dental disease (e.g., periodontitis, periapical infection, etc.), were then added. Research in rodents, particularly the rat, and, to some extent, the mouse, across multiple laboratories, has contributed to establishing multiple relevant and complementary preclinical models. Models in larger species produced accurate clinical and histopathologic outcomes suggesting a potential role for confirming specific crucial findings from rodent research. We view the current state of animal models for MRONJ as good. The rodent models are now reliable enough to produce large numbers of MRONJ cases that could be applied in experiments testing treatment modalities. The course of MRONJ, including stage 0 MRONJ, is characterized well enough that basic studies of the molecular or enzyme-level findings in different MRONJ stages are possible. This review provides a current overview of the existing models of MRONJ, their more significant features and findings, and important instances of their application in preclinical research.

Microarchitecture of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ); a retrospective micro-CT and morphometric analysis. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2021; 49:508-517.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe side effect of antiresorptive (AR) drugs such as bisphosphonates (BP) and denosumab (Dmab). Although several risk factors are described, the etiology of MRONJ is still not fully elucidated. Bone-strengthening is the primary aim of antiresorptive therapy; however, overly increased bone mass and microcrack accumulation are also discussed in MRONJ etiologies. The aim of this study is to evaluate the microarchitecture of jaw bones with micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) in AR-treated patients with or without MRONJ. Human jaw bone samples of AR-treated patients were separated into 11 groups by AR treatment bisphosphonate (BP), denosumab (Dmab), both (M) and control groups. Subgroups were divided according to the clinical localization as AR-exposed vital jaw bone (BPexp, Dmabexp, Mexp), osteonecrosis-margin of a sequestrum (BPOmar, DmabOmar, MOmar) and osteonecrosis-sequestrum (BPOseq, DmabOseq, MOseq). Healthy jaw bone (CHB) and osteoporotic jaw bone (COP) represent control groups. Samples underwent retrospective micro-CT and morphometric analysis in representative units by bone volume fraction (BV/TV), bone surface density (BS/BV), trabecular thickness (Tr.Th.), trabecular number (Tr.N.), trabecular space (Tr.Sp.), Euler characteristic for bone connectivity, bone mineral density (BMD) and tissue mineral density (TMD). A total of 141 samples from 78 patients were analyzed. BV/TV of Mexp group (mean: 0.46 ± 0.27) was significantly higher than in the COP group (mean: 0.14 ± 0.05; p = 0.0053). Tr.Th. differed significantly between the BPexp group (mean: 0.32 ± 0.15) and the Mexp group (mean: 0.57 ± 0.20; p = 0.0452) as well as between the BPOseq group (mean: 0.25 ± 0.10) and the MOseq group (mean: 0.39 ± 0.18; p = 0.0417). Signs of trabecular thickening and unorganized trabecular microarchitecture from AR-exposed- to sequestrum groups, were analyzed in 3D reconstructions. However, BS/BV, Tr.N., and Tr.Sp. showed no significant differences. Euler characteristic of the BPOseq group (median: 7.46) doubled compared to that of the BPexp group (median: 14.97; p = 0.0064). Mineralization parameters BMD and TMD were similar in all groups. Findings show evidence of enhanced bone mass and suspect microarchitecture in some AR-treated jaw bone compared to osteoporotic jaw bone. Despite increased bone mass, some MRONJ samples showed decreased trabecular connectivity by Euler characteristic compared to AR-treated jaw bone. These samples may indicate extensive ossification and ineffective bone mass with superficially higher bone mass without existing or even reduced mechanical stability, indicated by connectivity loss. This result might also suggest a high risk to microcrack accumulation. At some point, possibly some kind of over-ossification could lead to under-nourishment and microarchitectural weakness, creating instability, subsequently increasing vulnerability to MRONJ.

Clin Oral Investig 2020; 24:2973-2989. [PMID: 32627123 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-020-03423-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2020] [Accepted: 06/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main aim is to identify, by means of different imaging modalities, the early bone changes in patients "at risk" and in stage 0 MRONJ. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search of the literature was performed on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases, until June 9, 2020. No language or year restrictions were applied. Screening of the articles, data collection, and qualitative analysis was done. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used for observational studies, and the Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory Animal Experimentation's (SYRCLE) risk of bias tool for the animal studies. RESULTS A total of 1188 articles were found, from which 47 were considered eligible, whereas 42 were suitable for the qualitative analysis. They correspond to 39 human studies and 8 animal studies. Radiographic findings such as bone sclerosis, osteolytic areas, thickening of lamina dura, persisting alveolar socket, periapical radiolucency, thicker mandibular cortex, widening of the periodontal ligament space, periodontal bone loss, and enhancement of the mandibular canal were identified as early bone changes due to antiresorptive therapy. All those findings were also reported later in Stage 0 patients. CONCLUSION The main limitations of these results are the lack of prospective data and comparisons groups; therefore, careful interpretation should be made. It is a fact that radiographic findings are present in antiresorptive-treated patients, but the precise timepoint of occurrence, their relation to the posology, and potential risk to develop MRONJ are not clear. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The importance of a baseline radiographic diagnosis for antiresorptive-treated patients.

Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2020; 22:477-485. [PMID: 32537909 DOI: 10.1111/cid.12916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2020] [Revised: 04/07/2020] [Accepted: 04/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the influence of ridge preservation procedures on the healing of extraction sockets under antiresorptive therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 10 Dutch Belted rabbits were randomly allocated to either the intravenous administration of amino-bisphosphonate (zoledronic acid) (Za) (n = 5) or a negative control group (no Za [nZa]) (n = 5). At 6 months, the mandibular and maxillary molars were extracted and the four experimental sites randomly allocated to the following subgroups: (a) socket grafting using a collagen-coated natural bone mineral (BOC) + primary wound closure, (b) coronectomy (CO), or (c) spontaneous healing + primary wound closure (SP). Za medication was continued for another 4 months. Histomorphometrical analyses considered, for example, crestal hard tissue closure of the extraction site (C) and mineralized tissue (MT) formation. RESULTS Za-SP was associated with an incomplete median C (31.76% vs 100% in nZa-SP) and signs of bone arrosion along the confines of the socket. BOC had no major effects on increases in C and MT values in the Za group. CO commonly resulted in an encapsulation and partial replacement resorption of residual roots by MT without any histological signs of osteonecrosis. CONCLUSIONS (a) Za-SP was commonly associated with a compromised socket healing and signs of osteonecrosis, (b) BOC had no major effect on socket healing in the Za group, and (c) CO at noninfected teeth might be a feasible measure for the prevention of a Za-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Abstract
Objective This study was performed to determine whether the results of prevailing in vivo and in vitro studies offer a reliable model for investigation of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Methods Embase, Medline, and the Cochrane Library were searched for articles published from September 2003 to June 2017 involving experimental approaches to the pathogenesis of MRONJ. In vivo and in vitro trials were analyzed with respect to the scientific question, study design, methodology, and results. Results Of 139 studies, 87, 46, and 6 conducted in vivo, in vitro, and both in vivo and in vitro experiments, respectively. Rats, mice, dogs, minipigs, sheep, and rabbits were the preferred animal models used. Osteoblasts, osteoclasts, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, macrophages, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were the preferred cell types. Zoledronate, alendronate, ibandronate, and risedronate were the most frequent bisphosphonates used. MRONJ was most reliably induced in minipigs because of the close relationship with human bone physiology. In vitro studies showed that reduced viability, growth, and migration of cells in the bone and soft tissues were causative for MRONJ. Other than exposed jawbone after tooth extraction, no reliable cofactors were found. Conclusion The minipig is the most suitable animal model for MRONJ.
