Nisi M, Gennai S, Graziani F, Barone A, Izzetti R. Clinical and radiologic treatment outcomes of implant presence tirggered-MRONJ: Systematic review of literature. Oral Dis 2024. [PMID: 39039647 DOI: 10.1111/odi.15066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present systematic review evaluated clinical and radiographic features and treatment outcomes of peri-implantitis-induced medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (Pi-MRONJ). MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Studies reporting Pi-MRONJ were included. No time restrictions were applied. RESULTS In total, 571 articles were retrieved, and 24 articles were included in the final review. Study population consisted of 111 patients (70% pharmacologically treated for osteoporosis and 30% for oncologic disease). Pi-MRONJ was characterized by pain, bone exposure and suppuration, and involved a single implant in 55 cases, two implants in 37 cases, three implants in 10 cases, and more than four implants in nine cases. Most of the lesions were assigned Stage II and III. MRONJ developed on average 46.5 ± 33.2 months following implant placement. Sixty-one lesions were surgically treated with implant removal and debridement of the surrounding necrotic bone. Complete wound healing was observed in 85% of cases. CONCLUSIONS The presence of dental implants in patients treated with antiresorptive drugs should be considered as a potential risk factor for MRONJ onset. In cases of periimplantitis with delayed wound healing following nonsurgical therapy, the clinician should rule out the presence of Pi-MRONJ.

The Role of Operative Therapy and Other Clinical Factors. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024:S0278-2391(24)00586-X. [PMID: 39013476 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2024.06.176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In the therapy of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), the healing rate, effectiveness of operative therapy, and factors associated with healing remain unclear. PURPOSE This study aimed to estimate MRONJ therapy healing rates and identify associated prognostic factors. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE A 25-center prospective cohort study was conducted on 291 patients with MRONJ treated with a common therapeutic protocol during 2013-2016. Patients unable to continue examinations or treatment were excluded. PREDICTOR VARIABLE The primary predictor variable was MRONJ therapy grouped into two categories: operative and nonoperative. Secondarily, the prognostic factors categorized as demographic, medical, clinical, and perioperative were evaluated. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLES The primary outcome variable was treatment duration, defined as the time (in months) between the initiation of therapy and when the site was healed or the date of the final visit or loss to follow-up. COVARIATES Not applicable. ANALYSES Descriptive statistics and 3-year cumulative healing rates were calculated. The association between clinical factors and time to healing was analyzed using bivariate and multivariate analyses and propensity score analysis. P < .05 was considered significant. RESULTS We analyzed data from 291 subjects with 76 (26.1%) and 215 (73.9%) subjects in the operative and nonoperative therapy groups, respectively. The healing rates for operative and nonoperative therapies were 95.8 and 70.7%, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.1-2.2, P value [P] < .01). The healing rates in patients for whom anti-resorptive agent (ARA) treatment was discontinued and continued were 87.2 and 37.4%, respectively (HR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.1-3.0, P = .02). In a multiple regression analysis using ARA indication, the therapy method showed a significant association in the MRONJ malignancy group (HR = 2.75, 95% CI = 1.46-5.17, P < .01). CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE Operative therapy and ARA discontinuation were associated with better healing rates in MRONJ therapy. However, the choice of therapy for MRONJ should be based on a comprehensive consideration of the patient's condition. ARA discontinuation should be considered an adjunctive measure because of the possibility of adverse events such as fragility fractures and skeletal related events.

Braz Oral Res 2024; 38:e038. [PMID: 38747825 DOI: 10.1590/1807-3107bor-2024.vol38.0038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this systematic review was to answer the following question: "Does alendronate, a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, improve or impair alveolar socket healing after tooth extraction in animal models"? To this end, a systematic review of the literature was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science, as well as in the gray literature up to May 2023. Preclinical studies that evaluated alveolar healing after tooth extraction and the intake of sodium alendronate compared with placebo were included. Two investigators were responsible for screening the articles independently, extracting the data, and assessing their quality through the SYRCLE's RoB tool for randomized trials in animal studies. The study selection process, study characteristics, risk of bias in studies, impact of alendronate on bone healing, and certainty of evidence were described in text and table formats. Methodological differences among the studies were restricted to the synthesis methods. The synthesis of qualitative results followed the Synthesis Without Meta-analysis (SWiM) reporting guideline. From the 19 included studies, five were considered to have low risk, three were of unclear risk, and eleven presented a high risk of bias. The studies were considered heterogeneous regarding alendronate posology, including its dosage and route of administration. Furthermore, a variety of animal species, different age ranges, diverse teeth extracted, and exposure or not to ovariectomy contributed to the lack of parity of the selected studies. Our results indicated that alendronate monotherapy negatively affects the early phase of wound healing after tooth extraction in preclinical studies, suggesting that the bone resorption process after tooth extraction in animals treated with alendronate might impair the bone healing process of the extraction socket. In conclusion, alendronate administration restrains bone resorption, thereby delaying alveolar socket healing . Future studies should be conducted to validate these findings and to better understand the effects of alendronate therapy on oral tissues.

Bisphosphonates and Their Connection to Dental Procedures: Exploring Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5366. [PMID: 38001626 PMCID: PMC10670230 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15225366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Bisphosphonates are widely used to treat osteoporosis and malignant tumors due to their effectiveness in increasing bone density and inhibiting bone resorption. However, their association with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) following invasive dental procedures poses a significant challenge. This review explores the functions, mechanisms, and side effects of bisphosphonates, emphasizing their impact on dental procedures. Dental patients receiving bisphosphonate treatment are at higher risk of BRONJ, necessitating dentists' awareness of these risks. Topical bisphosphonate applications enhance dental implant success, by promoting osseointegration and preventing osteoclast apoptosis, and is effective in periodontal treatment. Yet, systemic administration (intravenous or intraoral) significantly increases the risk of BRONJ following dental procedures, particularly in inflamed conditions. Prevention and management of BRONJ involve maintaining oral health, considering alternative treatments, and careful pre-operative and post-operative follow-ups. Future research could focus on finding bisphosphonate alternatives with fewer side effects or developing combinations that reduce BRONJ risk. This review underscores the need for further exploration of bisphosphonates and their implications in dental procedures.

Drug holiday of high-dose denosumab and recovery from osteoclast inhibition using immunohistochemical investigation of 7 patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw undergoing segmental mandibulectomy. J Dent Sci 2023; 18:1645-1650. [PMID: 37799892 PMCID: PMC10547948 DOI: 10.1016/j.jds.2023.01.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background/purpose Denosumab is used to treat bone metastases from malignant tumors. Unlike bisphosphonates, denosumab is not deposited in the bone; thus, withdrawal for a relatively short period would help recovery from osteoclast suppression. This study investigated the relationship between drug holidays and recovery from osteoclast suppression. Materials and methods Seven patients who received high-dose denosumab and underwent segmental mandibulectomy for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw were enrolled in this study. Osteoclast suppression (+) was defined as the absence of cathepsin K-positive cells or cathepsin K-positive mononuclear or small multinucleated cells observed on the bone surface of both mesial and distal specimens. When normal osteoclasts were found, osteoclast suppression was defined as (-); when both suppressed cathepsin K-positive cells and normal morphological osteoclasts were found, it was defined as (±). Results Osteoclast suppression was: (+) in four patients, three without a drug holiday and one with a 9-month drug holiday; (±) in one patient with an 8-month drug holiday, and (-) in two patients with drug holidays for 13 and 20 months. Conclusion These findings suggest that a long-term drug holiday, such as 12 months, is required for recovery from osteoclast suppression in patients with cancer receiving high-dose denosumab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is clinically defined as a non-healing jawbone ulcerative-necrotic lesion appearing after dental therapy or minor trauma in patients treated previously with anti-resorptive, anti-angiogenic or immunomodulators. Older patients with osteoporosis and cancer receive these pharmacological agents regularly. As these patients are long-term survivors, efficient treatment is of paramount importance for their quality of life. METHODS Literature searches via PubMed were conducted to identify relevant MRONJ studies. Basic information on MRONJ classification, clinical features, and pathosphysiology is presented herein as well as various clinical studies dealing with MRONJ in patients with osteoporosis and cancer. Lastly, we discuss current managment of patients and new trends in treatment of MRONJ. RESULTS Although close follow-up and local hygiene have been advocated by some authors, severe forms of MRONJ are not responsive to conservative therapy. At present, there is no "gold standard" therapy for this condition. However, as the physiopathological basis of MRONJ is represented by the anti-angiogenic action of various pharmacological agents, new methods to increase and promote local angiogenesis and vascularization have recently been successfully tested in vitro, limited preclinical studies, and in a pilot clinical study. CONCLUSIONS It appears that the best method implies application on the lesion of endothelial progenitor cells as well as pro-angiogenic factors such as Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and other related molecules. More recently, scaffolds in which these factors have been incorporated have shown positive results in limited trials. However, these studies must be replicated to include a large number of cases before any official therapeutic protocol is adopted.

Incidence and risk factors associated to Medication-Related Osteo Necrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) in patients with osteoporosis after tooth extractions. A 12-months observational cohort study. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2022; 123:616-621. [PMID: 35609780 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2022.03.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the 12-months incidence of MRONJ after tooth extractions and possible related risk factors in patients with osteoporosis treated by means of oral bisphosphonates. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-five records of osteoporotic patients on therapy with oral bisphosphonates and treated with at least one dental extraction at the Department of Oral Surgery of University of Naples Federico II were selected. All patients were treated using a standardized surgical extraction protocol. At baseline and after 12-months follow-up, the following variables were recorded: "mucosal healing", "gender", "type of drug"; "duration of therapy"; "drug holiday". The collected data were analyzed and a linear regression analysis was performed to assess a possible correlation with onset MRONJ. RESULTS A total of 159 tooth extraction in 43 females (95.6%) and in 2 males (4.4%) with a mean age of 67.5 ± 3 years were available for the analysis. The majority part of patients was on therapy with alendronate (23; 51.2%), 11 patients (24.4%) were treated with risedronate and 11 (24.4%) with ibandronate. Before oral surgery, 84% of the patients showed a low-medium risk of MRONJ, while in 16% of the patients a medium-high risk was recorded. After 12-months follow-up, osteonecrosis was observed in 1 patient, with an overall incidence of MRONJ of 0.6%. The linear regression showed a significant correlation with MRONJ onset only for "gender" variable, with a R2 of 0.489. CONCLUSIONS Within their limitations, the outcomes of the study indicate that the risk of MRONJ after tooth extraction in osteoporotic patients taking bisphosphonates for OS is very low. A prolonged and specific antibiotic and antiseptic therapy, in addition to a surgical procedure as little traumatic as possible, will allow to perform oral surgery safely.

Abstract
A drug holiday of 3 months does not promote separation of sequestra and is not correlated with treatment outcomes after surgical therapy in osteoporosis patients who receive antiresorptive agents and who have medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse effect of antiresorptive agents alone or in combination with immune modulators or antiangiogenic medications, in the absence of radiation exposure to the head and neck region. The effectiveness of surgical treatment for MRONJ has been reported, but the timing of the operation remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether preoperative drug holidays of antiresorptive agents promote sequestrum separation and improve treatment outcomes in patients who receive low doses of antiresorptive agents. This retrospective study included 173 patients who received low-dose antiresorptive agents and underwent surgical therapy. The effects of a drug holiday on the separation of sequestra and treatment outcomes were analyzed using logistic and Cox regression analyses. Multivariate analysis revealed that administration of an antiresorptive agent for more than 4 years, a high number of lymphocytes, and an extensive osteolytic area were significantly correlated with separation of sequestra, but drug holiday did not promote sequestrum separation. Furthermore, a drug holiday of 90, 120 or 180 days did not show any improvement in treatment outcomes. The drug holiday of the antiresorptive agents for the treatment of MRONJ is unnecessary, and surgical therapy should be performed early.

Abstract
Although maxillary sinusitis often occurs in patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) of the upper jaw, there have been few reports on the treatment and outcomes for maxillary sinusitis associated with maxillary MRONJ. This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the treatment outcomes of maxillary sinusitis in patients with MRONJ of the upper jaw. There were 34 patients diagnosed with maxillary MRONJ and sinusitis by preoperative computed tomography who underwent surgery in our institution between January 2011 and December 2019. Age, sex, primary disease, stage of MRONJ, class and administration period of an antiresorptive agent, corticosteroid administration, preoperative leukocyte count and serum albumin level, periosteal reaction, sinusitis grade, maxillary sinus surgical procedure, and treatment outcomes of MRONJ and sinusitis were examined. There were 7 male and 27 female patients (average age, 74.7 years). Complete healing of MRONJ was obtained in 29 of 34 patients (85.3%). Maxillary sinusitis resolved or improved in 21 patients (61.8%) but did not change or worsen in 13 patients (38.2%). We found that complete resection of necrotic bone with intraoperative irrigation of the maxillary sinus may provide good treatment outcomes for maxillary sinusitis associated with MRONJ, although our findings were not statistically significant owing to the small number of patients.

[PMID: 35300956 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2022.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 312] [Impact Index Per Article: 156.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Strategies for management of patients with, or at risk for, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) - formerly referred to as bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ)-were set forth in the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) position papers in 2007, 2009 and 2014. The position papers were developed by a committee appointed by the AAOMS Board of Trustees and comprising clinicians with extensive experience in caring for these patients, as well as clinical and basic science researchers. The knowledge base and experience in addressing MRONJ continues to evolve and expand, necessitating modifications and refinements to the previous position papers. Three members of the AAOMS Committee on Oral, Head, and Neck Oncologic and Reconstructive Surgery (COHNORS) and three authors of the 2014 position paper were appointed to serve as a working group to analyze the current literature and revise the guidance as indicated to reflect current knowledge in this field. This update contains revisions to diagnosis and management strategies and highlights the current research status. AAOMS maintains that it is vitally important for this information to be disseminated to other relevant healthcare professionals and organizations.

Abstract
PURPOSE The treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is greatly challenging for surgeons. In this study, we reviewed patients with MRONJ treated in our hospital in the past 5 years and explored the risk factors of recurrence. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted to review the patients with MRONJ from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020. All patients received a monthly intravenous application of zoledronic acid. The primary outcome variable was the treatment outcome during follow-up. The predictor variables were local and systemic factors related to the treatment outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors of recurrence after MRONJ treatment. RESULTS A total of 58 patients (62 sites) were included in this study. In multivariate regression analysis, the risk factor associated with recurrence after MRONJ treatment was the duration of medication of more than 18 months (odds ratio = 7.346; 95% confidence interval: 1.461-36.946; P = .016). CONCLUSIONS Using zoledronic acid over 18 months may increase the risk of recurrence in MRONJ patients.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Medicine related osteonecrosis of jaw (MRONJ) is incidental in patients receiving certain bone modifying agents in oncology. These lesions may not respond to conservative management and aggravate. Autologous platelet derivatives contain bone growth factors, which help in bone regeneration. The aim of this pilot study is to develop protocol for treatment of refractory MRONJ with pizosurgical debridement and advanced platelet rich fibrin.In this feasibility study, refractory MRONJ lesions were treated by piezosurgical debridement and insertion of autologous advanced platelet rich fibrin in 15 patients. One patient had 2 lesion sites, so in all 16 MRONJ sites were treated. These patients were evaluated at the end of 1 month and 4 months for healing of MRONJ lesion. Statistical analysis was done by using Fisher test for response assessment in relation to variable. Eight lesions (50%) showed complete healing at the end of 1 month. At the end of 4 months 13 lesions (81.50%) were completely healed, 2 lesions (12.5%) were downgrades, and 1 lesion (6.25%) did not respond to treatment. Number of doses of bone modifying agent was only factor found associated with nonhealing of MRONJ when treated with this protocol.In this pilot study, feasibility of use of piezosurgical debridement and platelet rich fibrin was evaluated. The results of the study suggest complete healing can be achieved with this treatment protocol. Further research with increased sample size is warranted to determine optimum use of autologous platelet concentrates in treatment of MRONJ.

Abstract
Antiresorptive therapy is the main form of prevention of osteoporotic or fragility fractures. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a relatively rare but severe adverse reaction to antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs. Physicians and dentists caring for patients taking these drugs and requiring invasive procedures face a difficult decision because of the potential risk of MRONJ. The aim of this study was to discuss the risk factors for the development of MRONJ and prevention of this complication in patients with osteoporosis taking antiresorptive drugs and requiring invasive dental treatment. For this goal, a task force with representatives from three professional associations was appointed to review the pertinent literature and discuss systemic and local risk factors, prevention of MRONJ in patients with osteoporosis, and management of established MRONJ. Although scarce evidence links the use of antiresorptive agents in the context of osteoporosis to the development of MRONJ, these agents are considered a risk factor for this complication. Despite the rare reports of MRONJ in patients with osteoporosis, the severity of symptoms and impact of MRONJ in the patients' quality of life make it imperative for health care professionals to consider this complication when planning invasive dental procedures.

Braz J Otorhinolaryngol 2021; 88:613-620. [PMID: 34023243 PMCID: PMC9422660 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjorl.2021.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Revised: 03/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Removal of necrotic bone is important in the treatment of medication- related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Surgical treatment is more successful than conservative treatment in advanced stages (stage 2–3) of the medication- related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Relatively less invasive and supportive treatments are recommended in patients with advanced medication- related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Patient follow-up, good oral hygiene and patient motivation increase the success rate of the treatment.
Introduction Increased incidence of localized osteonecrosis in the jaw bones caused by bisphosphanate use and reduced quality of life of the patients led researchers to diagnose the disease in the early period and to investigate the effective treatment modality. Objective Treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw patients is based on individual protocols from clinical experience, as there are no definitive treatment guidelines. In view of the lack of consensus on the effectiveness of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw treatments in the literature, the aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical technique described in the treatment of advanced stages of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw patients. Methods Twenty-one patients affected by Stage 2–3 medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw were treated with ultrasonic piezoelectric bone surgery for necrotic bone removing, leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin concentrate obtained from the patient’s peripheral blood and Nd:YAG laser for biostimulation. Success was assessed as the maintenance of full mucosal coverage without signs of residual infection at 1-month (T1), 3-months (T2), 6-months (T3) and 1-year (T4) after surgery. Logistic regressions were used to evaluate the association between the different independent variables and treatment outcomes. Results Two Stage 3 patients had delayed healing at 1 month after the operation. Complete mucosal healing was achieved in all patients at the third month. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that different variables were not significantly correlated with delayed healing (p > 0.05). Conclusion The surgical protocol presented in this study shows promising results for surgical management of advanced stages of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study is to report a case series of patients with peri-implant medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), in particular describing the onset of the condition and surgical treatment outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifteen consecutive patients with clinical diagnosis of peri-implant MRONJ were retrospectively included in the study. The sample was stratified on the base of oral, pharmacological, and general health variables. The number of affected implants was recorded in all patients, and MRONJ staging applied. Surgical treatment was performed with a standardized operative protocol, involving implant removal, sequestrectomy, debridement of soft tissue, and bone curettage. Follow-up evaluating surgical outcome was performed at twelve months after surgery. RESULTS in our study sample, patients were almost equally distributed in terms of underlying diseases in osteoporotic and oncologic patients. All MRONJ lesions were symptomatic, and in 6 patients bone exposure was detected. 40 implants in total were evaluated, with MRONJ being present around 29 implants. 12 patients were diagnosed with Stage III MRONJ, and 3 patients with Stage II MRONJ. Surgical treatment leads to complete healing in 86.7% of cases, with 100% success for maxillary MRONJ. CONCLUSIONS Surgical treatment seems to have a positive impact on MRONJ treatment also in cases of peri-implant involvement. However, monitoring and prevention are fundamental in patients under pharmacological treatment with anti-resorptive/antiangiogenic drugs, as peri-implant MRONJ can develop also in absence of specific traumatic events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is still the most prevalent type of osteonecrosis with clinical relevance. In Brazil, bisphosphonate use is high but there is a lack of epidemiological studies on BRONJ. OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical profile of BRONJ in a Brazilian population through an integrative review. DESIGN AND SETTING Integrative review of BRONJ in a Brazilian population. METHODS Cases and clinical research on Brazilians with BRONJ between 2010 and 2019, indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and LILACS were reviewed. Age, sex, type and time of bisphosphonate intake, administration route, related diseases, region of the BRONJ, diagnostic criteria, staging, triggering factor and type of treatment were analyzed. RESULTS Fifteen articles on 128 subjects were included. Most patients were women (82.03%); the mean age was 63 years. Intravenous zoledronic acid was mostly used (62.50%), for breast cancer treatment (46.87%). The main localization of BRONJ was the mandible (54.68%), associated mainly with tooth extractions (45.98%). The diagnostic criteria were clinical (100%) and radiographic (89.06%), mostly in stage II (68.08%). The surgical treatments were sequestrectomy (37.50%) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) (36.71%). Microbial control was done using chlorhexidine (93.75%) and infection control using clindamycin (53.90%). CONCLUSIONS BRONJ had higher prevalence in Brazilian women receiving treatment for breast cancer and osteoporosis. The mandible was the region most affected with a moderate stage of BRONJ, particularly when there were histories of tooth extraction and peri-implant surgery. Sequestrectomy with additional drugs and surgical therapy was the treatment most accomplished.

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.

Oral Maxillofac Surg 2018; 22:369-378. [PMID: 30327979 DOI: 10.1007/s10006-018-0732-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2018] [Accepted: 10/09/2018] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Few studies exist that focus on the details of perioperative antibiotic administration for surgery to treat medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The regime and duration of perioperative antibiotics applied in published studies were reviewed to clarify appropriate perioperative antibiotic use in MRONJ surgery. METHODS A literature search was conducted using the MEDLINE database via PubMed. RESULTS The search resulted in 453 hits on PubMed. After reading the downloaded full-text articles, 17 articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The most common perioperative antibiotic used for MRONJ surgery was a combination of penicillin-based antibiotics and β-lactamase inhibitor (52.9%), and the second most common regime was penicillin-based antibiotics with metronidazole (17.6%). The duration of administration was 2 weeks postoperatively in nine studies, whereas four studies applied long-term administration (2-6 weeks postoperatively). CONCLUSIONS Oral and maxillofacial surgeons mostly prefer penicillin-based antibiotics plus β-lactamase inhibitor or metronidazole for MRONJ surgery. The duration of administration of these medications may be based on empirical experience.

Abstract
Objectives The review aims to study dental implant placement purposefulness for patients who have been treated or are on treatment with bisphosphonate medication. Material and Methods Structured search strategy was applied on electronic databases: MEDLINE, PubMed, PubMed Central and ResearchGate. Scientific publications in English between 2006 and 2017 were identified in accordance with inclusion, exclusion criteria. Publication screening, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed. Outcome measures included implant failure or implant-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Results In total, 32 literature sources were reviewed, and 9 of the most relevant articles that are suitable to the criteria were selected. Heterogeneity between the studies was found and no meta-analysis could be done. Five studies analysed intraoral bisphosphonate medication in relation with implant placement, three studies investigated intravenous bisphosphonate medication in relation with implant placement and one study evaluated both types of medication given in relation with implant placement. Patients with intraoral therapy appeared to have a better implant survival (5 implants failed out of 423) rate at 98.8% vs. patients treated intravenously (6 implants failed out of 68) at 91%; the control group compared with intraoral bisphosphonate group appeared with 97% success implant survival rate (27 implants failed out of 842), showing no significant difference in terms of success in implant placement. Conclusions Patients treated with intravenous bisphosphonates seemed to have a higher chance of developing implant-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. The intraorally treated patient group appeared to have more successful results. Implant placement in patients treated intraorally could be considered safe with precautions.

Conservative Surgical Treatment of Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw with Er,Cr:YSGG Laser and Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Longitudinal Study. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:3982540. [PMID: 30211221 PMCID: PMC6120338 DOI: 10.1155/2018/3982540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2017] [Revised: 03/05/2018] [Accepted: 03/29/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Introduction The management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), with no evidence-based guidelines, remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a conservative surgical treatment combining Er,Cr:YSGG laser and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of BRONJ in cancer patients. Methods We performed a longitudinal cohort study. Inclusion criteria were (1) age ≥ 18 years; (2) cancer diagnosis; (3) treatment with NBP because of the underlying cancer. Results We consecutively recruited ten patients diagnosed with BRONJ in stage I or II. These patients underwent a surgical laser-assisted therapy together with autologous PRP. At the latest follow-up at 12 months, clinical improvement was observed in eight patients. Registration Number is IRCT20180329039159N1. Conclusion We could successfully manage the BRONJ utilizing this combined protocol to heal the 30% of surgically treated sites and to improve the 50% of patients' lesions clinically. Our findings suggest that a surgical approach combined with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and PRP benefit cancer patients with general health issues.

Factors affecting development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in cancer patients receiving high-dose bisphosphonate or denosumab therapy: Is tooth extraction a risk factor? PLoS One 2018; 13:e0201343. [PMID: 30048523 PMCID: PMC6062135 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0201343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2017] [Accepted: 07/13/2018] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Methods for preventing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in cancer patients who have received high-dose bisphosphonate (BP) or denosumab (Dmab) have not yet been established. Tooth extraction after starting medication has been believed to be a major risk factor for MRONJ, and therefore this procedure tends to be avoided. This study investigated the risk factors for MRONJ, with a special reference to the correlation between tooth extraction and development of MRONJ. One hundred and thirty-five cancer patients who were administrated high-dose BP or Dmab were enrolled in the study. Demographic factors, general condition, treatment factors, and dental findings were examined retrospectively using medical records and panoramic X-ray findings. The cumulative occurrence rate of MRONJ was calculated using the Kaplan–Meier method, and the correlation between these variables and development of MRONJ was analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. MRONJ developed in 18 of 135 patients. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year cumulative occurrence rates were 8.6%, 21.5%, and 29.2%, respectively. The duration of medication before first visit to the dental unit and the presence of a tooth with clinical symptoms were significantly correlated with the development of MRONJ. The rate of MRONJ occurrence in patients who had teeth with clinical symptoms, but who did not undergo tooth extraction, became higher 2 years later than that in patients who underwent extraction of teeth with symptoms, although not significant. Early dental examination and effective preventative care to avoid infection/inflammation are important for preventing MRONJ.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is primarily an adverse side effect of denosumab or bisphosphonates (particularly when used at high doses to prevent skeletal-related events [SREs] in patients with cancer and bone metastases) or possibly anti-angiogenic cancer treatment. While the implementation of preventive measures over recent years has reduced the risk of MRONJ in patients with bone metastases due to cancer, it is imperative to balance the risk of MRONJ against the beneficial effects of treatment with denosumab or bisphosphonates on the skeletal health of patients. Despite growing awareness of MRONJ within the medical community, there is a lack of large-scale, prospective clinical studies in this rapidly evolving field. Discussing preventive measures with patients and implementing them, both before and during treatment with bisphosphonates or denosumab, is the best option to reduce the risk of MRONJ. In particular, avoiding bone trauma and preventing and treating dental infections before and during denosumab or bisphosphonate therapy is crucial to minimize the risk of MRONJ. If MRONJ develops, conservative (non-surgical) treatment can provide symptom relief, but achieving mucosal closure remains challenging. When management of symptoms and mucosal healing are the ultimate goals of therapy, or after failure of conservative treatment, a surgical approach may be beneficial. This critical review, based on a best-evidence review of currently available literature, provides clear practical guidelines to help to prevent, manage and treat MRONJ. Overall, a multidisciplinary, pragmatic approach to MRONJ should be adopted, prioritizing patient's quality of life and management of their skeletal malignant disease.

Conservative surgical treatment of medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) lesions in patients affected by osteoporosis exposed to oral bisphosphonates: 24 months follow-up. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2018; 46:1153-1158.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of conservative surgical treatment of medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients affected by osteoporosis and exposed to oral bisphosphonates (BPs). Subjects diagnosed with MRONJ and osteoporosis under oral BPs that had undergone conservative surgery and had at least 24 months follow-up were included. All patients received medical-antibiotic therapy and then underwent conservative surgical treatment consisting of sequestrectomy, soft tissue debridement and bone curettage with limited or no extension. A total of 53 patients, mean age of 71.9 ± 10.2 years (range 41-87), were enrolled. Two years after conservative surgical therapy 45 patients (91.8%) showed complete healing. The presence of rheumatoid arthritis (p = 0.003) and a more severe initial MRONJ stage (p = 0.023) were associated with a negative surgical outcome while the presence of bone sequestrum was strongly associated with a positive outcome (p = 0.036). Conservative surgical treatment of MRONJ lesions in patients affected by osteoporosis and receiving only oral BPs may represent a valid therapeutic approach determining a high number of complete healing cases. Conservative surgery should be encouraged at early MRONJ stages and after medical therapy failure.

Abstract
PURPOSE The appearance of osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is similar, but clinically important differences between ORN and MRONJ exist. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical data between ORN and MRONJ and to reveal the critical differences between these diseases. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the epidemiological data, clinical findings, and treatment in 27 ORN and 61 MRONJ patients. Radiographic signs before the initiation of treatment were also assessed. RESULTS The median age (P = 0.0474) and the ratio of female to male patients (P < 0.0001) were significantly higher in MRONJ patients. There were significantly more MRONJ patients who reported a history of pain when compared with ORN patients (P = 0.0263). As an aetiological factor, tooth extraction was significantly more relevant to MRONJ than ORN (P = 0.0352). When assessing the radiographic signs on computed tomographic images, periosteal reaction was found only in MRONJ patients (P = 0.0158). Minimal debridement was performed significantly more frequently for MRONJ (P = 0.0093), and by contrast, surgical resection was performed more frequently for ORN (P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS Understanding the clinical and underlying pathological differences between ORN and MRONJ probably contributes to the selection of appropriate treatment for each patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The most debated topic about medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is its therapy, as there are no definitive guidelines. The aims of this systematic review were (a) to outline the best therapeutic approach according to the stage at diagnosis and (b) to perform a meta-analysis to assess whether the drug-holiday protocol may be or not an effective method in the management of MRONJ patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The systematic review was performed following the PRISMA principles. Results were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria regarding staging before/after treatment, follow-up, and information provided by the authors. For statistical analysis, linear variables are reported as means and standard deviations, medians, and inter-quartile range (IQR); normality of data, according to the distribution of complete healing (primary outcome variable), was assessed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant for all tests. RESULTS Thirteen studies were selected out of 1480. None of them was case-controlled or randomized. Conservative approach showed good results at early stages, but heterogeneous result at advanced stages (100% stage 0, stage I range 81-97%, stage II range 63.6-100%, stage III 73%). Surgical approach showed heterogeneous results at all stages (stage I range 0-100%, stage II range 52-100%, stage III range 50-100%). Statistical analysis showed a significantly higher prevalence of completely healed sites in patients who followed the drug-holiday protocol. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that the current stage-specific approach for MRONJ therapy is based on a sound clinical rationale. Conservative treatment appears to yield better outcomes at early stages, while further investigations are needed to elucidate the best protocols for the management of advanced stages. The drug-holiday protocol statistically promotes complete healing after oral surgery procedures but the application should be dictated by the condition of each patient. CLINICAL RELEVANCE At present, early MRONJ stages should be primarily treated by means of a conservative approach while more advanced stages must be carefully evaluated. Individual decisions should be made for every single case even with respect to the drug-holiday protocol.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is an adverse event that may inhibit the treatment of primary disease and remarkably influence the patient's quality of life. The treatment methods for MRONJ, nonsurgical and surgical, are controversial, with no agreement as to which method provides the best outcome and should therefore be recommended. This multicenter retrospective study aimed to investigate the treatment methods and outcome in a large number of patients with MRONJ in Japan, utilizing propensity score matching analysis. A total of 361 patients with MRONJ, at eight hospitals, were registered in this study retrospectively. Various demographic and treatment-related variables were examined and analyzed to determine their correlation with the treatment outcome. After propensity score matching for treatment methods (nonsurgical versus surgical treatment), 176 patients were analyzed by logistic regression. It was shown that those with low-dose administration of an antiresorptive agent and surgical treatment had better outcomes. Furthermore, in 159 patients who underwent surgical treatment, those who underwent extensive surgery experienced significantly better treatment outcomes than those who underwent conservative surgery. This is the first study to compare treatment methods for MRONJ using propensity score matching analysis. The results indicated that extensive surgical treatment should be performed as first-choice therapy for patients with MRONJ. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

METHODS This retrospective study compared the following variables in 73 patients with stage 2 MRONJ versus 89 patients with osteomyelitis: impaired wound healing after surgery, sex, age, the presence of actinomycosis, location of the jaw lesion, and involvement of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). RESULTS There were significant differences between the groups in age, sex, rates of impaired wound healing, actinomycosis, and the location (anterior/posterior) of the lesion. Impaired wound healing after surgical treatment in the stage 2 MRONJ group was associated with patient age. All patients with impaired wound healing after the initial surgery recovered fully after reoperation. CONCLUSIONS These findings for surgical treatment of stage 2 MRONJ may help clinicians plan surgical treatment of MRONJ.

Abstract
There is currently no widespread strategy for treating medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), so our aim was to evaluate retrospectively the outcome of a minimally invasive treatment protocol for patients with both MRONJ and cancer. We designed a retrospective cohort study of patients with cancer who had been diagnosed with MRONJ after treatment with denosumab or bisphosphonates given intravenously. Primary outcome measures were improvement in the clinical stage of MRONJ and the time course to its resolution. Secondary outcome measures included the incidence of risk factors and patterns of treatment. Seventy-nine patients with 109 lesions were enrolled, and their characteristics, presentation of the lesions, complications, and relations to previous oral interventions were recorded. Treatment depended on the stage of disease, and included conservative medical, and minimally-invasive surgical, procedures. There was complete healing and resolution of disease in 38/57 stage 1 lesions, 30/47 stage 2 lesions, and 3/5 stage 3 lesions. The symptoms improved in 16/47 stage 2 lesions, and 2/5 stage 3 lesions. Fifteen of the stage 1 lesions, and one of the stage 2 lesions, failed to respond. Despite the possibility of an aggressive approach to the treatment of MRONJ, conservative treatment remains the first line of defence as regression is obvious, with evidence of no evolution to a higher stage. In our experience surgical intervention is recommended in persistent stage 3 MRONJ that has failed to respond to conservative treatment.
