Abstract
Background: Targeted therapies like denosumab have revolutionized multiple myeloma (MM) treatment, improved patient outcomes while introducing long-term complications. This study explores a rare instance of delayed maxillary osteonecrosis post-denosumab therapy, delving into its pathophysiology and management. Methods: A 40-year-old male MM patient who developed a painful palatal lesion post denosumab treatment and diagnosed of maxillary osteonecrosis by computed tomography scan and surgical biopsy is presented. Treatment history, symptom progression, and response to the PENTOCLO protocol were analyzed. Results: Post-denosumab discontinuation osteonecrosis highlights its prolonged impact on bone metabolism. PENTOCLO treatment protocol led to significant improvement. Genetic factors influencing osteonecrosis susceptibility have been discussed and considered. Conclusions: This case underscores the need for vigilance regarding long-term complications in MM survivors, preventive strategies, including regular dental evaluations and reducing invasive dental procedures, are crucial. We advocate for an interdisciplinary approach and further research into tailored prevention and management of osteonecrosis in cancer survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a condition that affects the jaws and is characterized by exposed bone in the oral cavity that persists for more than eight weeks despite treatment. Additional criteria include that the patient should have a current or past history of antiresorptive drugs and/or in combination with antiangiogenic drugs, absence of metastasis, and no previous radiotherapy to the affected area. The radiographic features of MRONJ in most instances do not have any specific radiographic features. This is because standard radiographs usually show no stark abnormalities in the early stages of the disease. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to evaluate if any specific radiographic patterns are associated with primary cancers and between medications. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study is an observational case series. A total of 50 cases of possible osteonecrosis from June 2010 to June 2013 archives of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology were assessed. Based on the history, 12 cases that had a history of medication use that could lead to medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) were selected. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of these 12 cases were evaluated using the CBCT reconstruction program InVivo Dental version 6 (Anatomage Inc., San Jose, CA, USA). The number of areas showing sequestration, the pattern of osteonecrosis, and the extent were assessed. Primary cancer and the type of medication were also assessed to identify if certain cancers or drugs showed any distinctive pattern of osteonecrosis. Reconstructed panoramic images and true three-dimensional (3D) multi-planar images were assessed to study the condition. An oral and maxillofacial radiology resident in training and a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist assessed the images. RESULTS Radiographic findings varied among the 12 cases and included generalized sclerosis, osteosclerosis with widened periodontal ligament (PDL) space, bony sequestra, and bony necrosis. However, no specific or distinctive radiographic patterns were observed in any of the cases, regardless of the type of primary cancer or medication used. CONCLUSION It is challenging to radiographically distinguish between MRONJ cases with different primary cancer and/or medication. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Future studies should include evaluating larger samples with varying primary cancers and medications and combination drug therapies. Cases in an advanced stage of MRONJ do not have distinctive features due to extensive destruction and superimposed infection; it may be valuable to evaluate patients in the early stages of MRONJ to better understand distinguishing radiographic patterns specific to certain primary cancers or medications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Denosumab (DMB) is a bone antiresorptive agent used to treat osteoporosis or metastatic cancer of the bones. However, denosumab-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (DRONJ) has become a common complication in cancer patients. The prevalence of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in cancer patients is estimated to be similar for both bisphosphonate-related cases (1.1 to 1.4%) and denosumab-related cases (0.8 to 2%), with the addition of adjunctive therapy with anti-angiogenic agents reportedly increasing its prevalence to 3%. (Spec Care Dentist 36(4):231-236, 2016). The aim of this study is to report on DRONJ in cancer patients treated with DMB (Xgeva®, 120mg). CASE PRESENTATION In this study, we identified four cases of ONJ among 74 patients receiving DMB therapy for metastatic cancer. Of the four patients, three had prostate cancer and one had breast cancer. Preceding tooth extraction within 2 months of the last DMB injection was found to be a risk factor for DRONJ. Pathological examination revealed that three patients had acute and chronic inflammation, including actinomycosis colonies. Among the four patients with DRONJ referred to us, three were successfully treated without complications and had no recurrence following surgical treatment, while one did not follow up. After healing, one patient experienced a recurrence at a different site. Sequestrectomy in conjunction with antibiotic therapy and cessation of DMB use proved to be effective in managing the condition, and the ONJ site healed after an average 5-month follow-up period. CONCLUSION Conservative surgery, along with antibiotic therapy and discontinuation of DMB, was found to be effective in managing the condition. Additional studies are needed to investigate the contribution of steroids and anticancer drugs to jaw bone necrosis, the prevalence of multicenter cases, and whether there is any drug interaction with DMB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone remodeling is tightly regulated through bone resorption and bone formation; imbalances in bone remodeling can cause various pathological conditions such as osteoporosis. Antiresorptive agents commonly used for treating osteoporosis do not substantially reverse osteoporotic bone loss. METHODS We evaluated the effects of the RVYFFKGKQYWE motif (residues 270-281; VnP-16) of human vitronectin on the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and osteoclastogenesis of bone marrow-derived macrophages. The effects of VnP-16 were also assessed in a mouse model of estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis (ovariectomized female C57BL/6 mice). To assay whether VnP-16 can reverse ovariectomy-induced bone loss, synthetic peptides or vehicle were subcutaneously injected into ovariectomized mice once a week for 4 weeks (n = 10/group). To evaluate the bone restorative effects of VnP-16, in-vivo micro-computed tomography analysis and histological staining were performed. RESULTS VnP-16 induced osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs and inhibited the RANKL-RANK-TRAF6 axis in the osteoclastogenesis signaling pathway. Furthermore, systemic administration of VnP-16 reversed ovariectomy-induced bone loss in the femoral neck, distal femur and lumbar spine by increasing osteoblast differentiation and promoting bone formation, and concomitantly decreasing osteoclastogenesis and inhibiting bone resorption. The bone restorative effect of VnP-16 was observed one week after subcutaneous administration, and although the timing of the effect differed according to bone location, it persisted for at least 3 weeks. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that VnP-16 is a potential therapeutic agent for treating osteoporosis that mediates its effects through dual regulation of bone remodeling.

Real-world study of antiresorptive-related osteonecrosis of jaw based on the US food and drug administration adverse event reporting system database. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:1017391. [PMID: 36339548 PMCID: PMC9627332 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1017391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study aims to explore the risk signals of osteonecrosis of the jaw induced by antiresorptive drugs and provide references for the clinical safety application. Method: According to the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), from January 2004 to September 2021, we chose "Osteonecrosis of the jaw (10064658)" and "Exposed bone in jaw (10071014)" as preferred terms, "antiresorptive drugs" as the target drugs, and primary suspect drug as the drug role code in the dataset. We evaluated the association between drugs and adverse events by using reporting odds ratio (ROR) based on disproportionality analysis. We took the High-Level Terms (HLT) of MedDRA® as the classification level of indications to calculate ROR to compare the signal difference of ONJ in different indications. In addition, patients with antiresorptive-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw and the time of onset of the condition following different antiresorptive medications were collected for the study. Results: The FAERS contained 18,421 reports relating to jaw osteonecrosis from January 2004 to September 2021. A total of eight antiresorptive agents were included in the analysis. From high to low, the ROR of ONJ induced by antiresorptive agents (regardless of indication) is pamidronate (ROR = 494.8), zoledronic acid (ROR = 431.9), denosumab (ROR = 194.8), alendronate (ROR = 151.2), risedronate (ROR = 140.2), etidronic acid (ROR = 64.5), ibandronate (ROR = 40.8), and romosozumab (ROR = 6.4). HLT ROR values for "metabolic bone disorders" were the lowest for each drug, while HLT ROR values were high for "tumor-related indications," including breast and nipple neoplasms malignant, plasma cell myelomas, and prostatic neoplasms malignant. The onset time for osteonecrosis of the jaw as median (Q1, Q3), osteoporosis-related indications, and the onset time for ONJ were 730 (368, 1268), 489.5 (236.3, 909.8), 722.5 (314, 1055), 761 (368, 1720), and 153 (50, 346) for zoledronic acid, denosumab, ibandronate, risedronate, and romosozumab, respectively. Cancer-related indications: the onset time for ONJ were 680.5 (255.3, 1283), 488 (245, 851), and 696.5 (347, 1087) for zoledronic acid, denosumab, and pamidronate, respectively. Conclusion: When antiresorptive drugs are used for metastasis, they have the largest risk signal, followed by malignancy, and the smallest is osteoporosis. The onset time of ONJ may not be related to the indications. The onset time of ONJ for BPs was about 2 years, denosumab about 1.3 years, and romosozumab less than 1 year, which may be related to sequential treatment. When used according to the instructions, the risk of ONJ caused by denosumab was higher than that of zoledronic acid, regardless of the indication. Based on these findings, researchers will continue to monitor and identify risk factors.

Systematic review of medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients undergoing only antiangiogenic drug therapy: surgery or conservative therapy? Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2022; 60:e216-e230.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaw is a severe adverse condition affecting patients exposed to specific types of medications. Previous studies have highlighted that osteonecrosis of the jaw is triggered by invasive dental procedures and can be very challenging to manage, especially in patients with cancer. The primary aim of this review was to analyse all available evidence on the management (surgical and/or conservative) of medication related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) in patients with a history of antiangiogenic drugs therapy and who had not been previously exposed to any antiresorptive drug treatments. A multi-database search (PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL) was performed to identify related multi-language papers published from January 2003 until November 2020. Data were extracted from relevant papers and analysed according to the outcomes selected in this review. The search generated 28 studies eligible for the analysis. The total number of patients included in the analysis was 36. Sixteen patients were treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs (anti-VEGF) while the remaining patients were administered a combination of antiangiogenic drugs. The most common MRONJ site was the mandible in 29 patients. MRONJ recurrence after treatment was only reported in six patients, the majority of which were treated conservatively. The data reviewed confirmed that an invasive procedure was the most common trigger of MRONJ with relatively high frequency of postoperative recurrence following treatment. However, due to the low quality of available research in the literature, it is difficult to draw a definitive conclusion on the validity of the presented treatment to manage patients affected by MRONJ associated with angiogenic therapy.

Abstract
There is no agreement of data on the subject of implant failure and the development of osteonecrosis in patients receiving antiresorptive agents. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate whether dental implants placed in patients on antiresorptive medication have an increased failure rate and whether the implant placement or the implant existence are risk factors for developing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). An electronic search was conducted in PubMed/Medline, and all publications fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included. The search was completed by a hand research of the references cited in all electronic identified publications, resulting in 411 articles. Based on the inclusion criteria, 32 studies were included, with a total of 5221 patients, 12 751 implants, 618 cases of implants loss, and 136 cases of MRONJ analyzed. Because of the small number of studies, most of which were characterized by a low level of quality, it cannot be established that the use of antiresorptive medication affects dental implant survival rates. The risk of MRONJ as an early or late complication is also not well established. Therefore, successful dental implant procedures in patients receiving antiresorptive medication might be possible, but more studies need to be carried out in the future to verify this topic. Apart from intravenous antiresorptive drugs, which remain an absolute contraindication, the use of antiresorptive medication is not a contraindication to dental implantology, but it must be accompanied by careful treatment planning, informing patients about possible complications, and essential long follow-up periods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) often visit their dentists at advanced stages and subsequently require treatments that greatly affect quality of life. Currently, no clear diagnostic criteria exist to assess MRONJ, and the definitive diagnosis solely relies on clinical bone exposure. This ambiguity leads to a diagnostic delay, complications, and unnecessary burden. This article aims to identify imaging modalities' usage and findings of MRONJ to provide possible approaches for early detection. METHODS Literature searches were conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library to review all diagnostic imaging modalities for MRONJ. RESULTS Panoramic radiography offers a fundamental understanding of the lesions. Imaging findings were comparable between non-exposed and exposed MRONJ, showing osteolysis, osteosclerosis, and thickened lamina dura. Mandibular cortex index Class II could be a potential early MRONJ indicator. While three-dimensional modalities, CT and CBCT, were able to show more features unique to MRONJ such as a solid type periosteal reaction, buccal predominance of cortical perforation, and bone-within-bone appearance. MRI signal intensities of vital bones are hypointense on T1WI and hyperintense on T2WI and STIR when necrotic bone shows hypointensity on all T1WI, T2WI, and STIR. Functional imaging is the most sensitive method but is usually performed in metastasis detection rather than being a diagnostic tool for early MRONJ. CONCLUSION Currently, MRONJ-specific imaging features cannot be firmly established. However, the current data are valuable as it may lead to a more efficient diagnostic procedure along with a more suitable selection of imaging modalities.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antiresorptive agent-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ARONJ) is a rare but serious complication in patients receiving antiresorprtive agents (AR). However, the incidence of ARONJ after tooth extraction in patients with autoimmune disease (AID) remains unclear. The present study aimed to clarify the high-risk population of ARONJ in patients with AID. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population comprised 232 patients treated with AR, AID or non-AID, who had undergone dental extraction from January 2011 to September 2017. The incidence and risk factors of ARONJ were analysed retrospectively. Additionally, the relationship between ARONJ and osteoporotic fracture (OF) and AR discontinuation during dental procedures was investigated. RESULTS Of 232 patients, 10 developed ARONJ within 1 year of dental extraction. The incidence of ARONJ in patients with AID was higher than that in non-AID patients (2.0/100 person-year vs 0.5/100 person-year; p = 0.03). Among the AID patients, RA patients had strikingly high incidence of ARONJ (3.6/100 person-year). The incidence of neither ARONJ nor OF significantly differed between patients who continued and discontinued AR in the perioperative period. CONCLUSION Patients with AID who undergo dental extraction are at high risk of ARONJ. Discontinuation of AR would not significantly contribute to reduce the incidence of ARONJ in those patients.

Antimicrobial photodynamic and photobiomodulation adjuvant therapies for prevention and treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws: Case series and long-term follow-up. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2020; 29:101651. [PMID: 31923636 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2020.101651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2019] [Revised: 12/06/2019] [Accepted: 01/03/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (MRONJ) incidence are increasing among elderly. Treatment can be challenging. Prevent or treatment protocols that control evolution of the lesion are warranted. OBJECTIVE To observe long-term outcomes of two protocols based on photonics [antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and photobiomodulation (PBM)] for prevention and treatment of MRONJ lesions. METHODS In a prospective study, patients who needed oral surgery and had been exposed to antiresorptive drugs were long-term followed-up. For MRONJ prevention, immediately after tooth extraction aPDT was applied. For aPDT a 0.01 % methylene blue solution was applied inside socket for 5 min followed by irradiation with a diode laser [660 nm, 0.028cm2, 0.1 W, 3.57 W/cm2, 90 s and 9 J per point, 321 J/cm2, at least at in 3 points (laser probe was placed at central, and two equidistant points) and total energy of 27J]. Irradiation was repeated weekly until total tissue repair. MRONJ treatment included preoperative aPDT sessions until signs and symptoms of infection had reduced. Then, after necrotic bone removal, aPDT was applied inside surgical wounds and re-applied weekly until healing. Antibiotics were administered pre or postoperatively for no longer than 7 days. PBM therapy was applied with 808 nm diode laser, 0.028cm2, 0.1 W, 3.57 W/cm2, 30 s, 107 J/cm², 3 J and total energy of 12 J until evidence of remission. RESULTS Eighteen patients underwent preventive protocol, and none presented signs of MRONJ after a follow-up of at least 6 months. Seventeen patients presented with MRONJ underwent aPDT protocol and sixteen of them showed total regression of lesions. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS aPDT and PBM therapy protocols appear to be effective as adjuvant approach not only for preventing MRONJ development due to tooth extraction but for treating MRONJ lesions at early stages with no adverse effects.

Abstract
Antiresorptive drugs (ARDs), such as bisphosphonates or denosumab, that prevent bone resorption are widely used in patients with osteoporosis or with cancer that has metastasized to the bones. Although osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a well-documented complication of ARD use, the benefits ARDs outweigh the complication. Thus, research has focused on finding ways to prevent or reduce the risk of developing ONJ. Dentists, as part of a multi-professional team, have a critical role in preventing ONJ. However, many dentists tend to hesitate to provide dental care to patients with ONJ, or tend to think that it is a problem to be dealt with by oral surgeons. This review gives an overview of ARD-related ONJ and provides the guidelines for dental care in patients taking ARDs to lower the risk of developing ONJ.

Abstract
Objectives To review the available literature on medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) associated with antiangiogenics in antiresorptive-naïve individuals. Methods A literature search was performed using MEDLINE via PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science in December 2017. Results We identified reports describing a total of 35 antiresorptive drugs-naïve patients who developed antiangiogenic-related MRONJ. The mean age of these patients was 59.06 years and the F : M ratio was 4 : 5. The most common underlying disease was metastatic renal cell cancer. Pain to the mandible was the most common complaint (34.29%) and the majority of patients presented with bone exposure. The mean duration of intravenous and oral antiangiogenics before MRONJ development was 6.5 and 16.72 months, respectively. The most common additional risk factor was dental extraction (37.14%). Almost half of the MRONJ patients (48.57%) received surgical treatment. 18 patients (62.06%) were reported to have disease resolution within an average time of 6.75 months. Conclusion MRONJ associated with antiangiogenic therapy in antiresorptive-naïve patients is a rare but potentially serious adverse effect. Available data suggests that there might be notable differences between MRONJ associated with antiangiogenics and antiresorptives; however, further prospective well-designed studies are required.

Abstract
Denosumab, a human monoclonal antibody directed against the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κβ ligand (RANKL), is used for the treatment of patients with metastatic cancer of the bone or osteoporosis. Recent reports have demonstrated that denosumab can induce osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), but reported cases of this are uncommon. The present study reports the case of an 86-year-old male with prostate cancer patient exhibiting bone metastases who developed ONJ whilst receiving denosumab. To elucidate the influence of denosumab on the development of ONJ, the present study also reviewed the literature, including clinical trials and case reports. In the clinical trials, the prevalence of denosumab-related ONJ was higher in patients with cancer compared with those with osteoporosis. The high risk of ONJ in patients with cancer was thought to be associated with the differing dose and frequency of denosumab administration. The prevalence of ONJ was not significantly different between patients receiving denosumab and bisphoshonate (BP). In the reported cases, denosumab-related ONJ had a similar clinical presentation to BP-related ONJ. There was also a tendency for denosumab-related ONJ to develop in the mandible of elderly patients. Previous invasive dental treatment was a commonly shared characteristic of patients with denosumab-related ONJ. A complex medical history was also suspected to affect the prevalence. No clear association between the dose or duration of denosumab treatment and the development of ONJ was observed. Although conservative treatments are given for denosumab-related ONJ, non-improving cases were managed surgically with primarily positive results. Because denosumab may offer superior results compared with BP for the treatment of metastatic cancer of the bone or osteoporosis, the use of denosumab is expected to increase in the near future. Clinicians should also be aware of the risk factors for denosumab-related ONJ, in order to aid in its diagnosis. In addition, patients treated with denosumab should receive prophylactic treatment to maintain their oral health prior to, during and after denosumab treatment.

Abstract
It is now 12 years since the first article on medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) was reported in 2003. The recognition of MRONJ is still inconsistent between physicians and dentists but it is without doubt a severe disease with impairment of oral health-related quality of life. This position paper was developed by three Austrian societies for dentists, oral surgeons and osteologists involved in this topic. This update contains amendments on the incidence, pathophysiology, diagnosis, staging and treatment and provides recommendations for management based on a multidisciplinary international consensus. The MRONJ can be a medication-related side effect of treatment of malignant and benign bone diseases with bisphosphonates (Bp), bevacizumab and denosumab (Dmab) as antiresorptive therapy. The incidence of MRONJ is highest in the oncology patient population (range 1-15 %), where high doses of these medications are used at frequent intervals. In the osteoporosis patient population, the incidence of MRONJ is estimated to be 0.001-0.01 %, marginally higher than the incidence in the general population (< 0.001 %). Other risk factors for MRONJ 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 MRONJ 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 MRONJ, 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 MRONJ is based on the stage of the disease, extent of the lesions and the presence of contributing drug therapy and comorbidity. Conservative therapy includes topical antibiotic oral rinses and systemic antibiotic therapy. Early data have suggested enhanced osseous wound healing with teriparatide in those patients without contraindications for its use. The MRONJ related to denosumab may resolve more quickly with a drug holiday than MRONJ related to bisphosphonates. Localized surgical debridement is indicated in advanced nonresponsive disease and has proven successful. More invasive surgical techniques are becoming increasingly more important. Prevention is the key for the management of MRONJ. This requires a close teamwork for the treating physician and the dentist. It is necessary that this information is disseminated to other relevant health care professionals and organizations.

Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws: Considerations on a New Antiresorptive Therapy (Denosumab) and Treatment Outcome after a 13-Year Experience. Int J Dent 2016; 2016:1801676.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious complication in patients receiving antiresorptive therapies for bone neoplastic localizations and osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological features of MRONJ in a cohort of patients treated by new antiresorptive drugs (denosumab) and the corresponding outcome after 13-year maximum follow-up. Overall, 244 patients affected by MRONJ were treated from 2003 to 2015. After clinical and radiological examinations, all lesions were staged according to a dimensional staging system and then surgically treated. All the denosumab-related lesions were classified as stage II or III, thus requiring a more or less invasive surgical approach, despite the results of many recent studies, which suggested a conservative medical approach with early resolution for MRONJ in patients on denosumab. In the current series, 86.9% of treated lesions showed complete clinical and radiological healing, while 13.1% recurred; all recurrences were detected in patients who could not interrupt chemotherapy, steroids, and/or antiresorptive drugs administration due to their general conditions. In conclusion, all oral specialists should be aware of the MRONJ risk among patients taking new antiresorptive drugs; moreover, our protocol based on surgical treatment guided by dimensional staging could be considered effective in view of the low recurrence rate.

Abstract
This case series describes the course of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in thirteen patients with metastatic bone tumors treated solely with denosumab. Patients on denosumab may be more prone to developing ONJ even without a risk/precipitating factor and they may develop ONJ early in their denosumab therapy. The outcomes of ONJ in ten patients following a period of denosumab discontinuation after the onset of ONJ were: 3 had complete resolution of symptoms, 4 patients' ONJ progressed, 2 patients' ONJ was unchanged and in 1 patient there was partial ONJ resolution. The role of drug discontinuation prior to an invasive dental procedure or after the onset of ONJ still remains debatable.

Abstract
Denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (DRONJ) is a recently described entity that shares many common clinical and radiological features with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ). The aim of the present study is to report a case of DRONJ affecting the anterior mandible of a 58-year-old male treated with denosumab to prevent skeletal-related events associated with prostate cancer. Conservative surgery in conjunction with antibiotic therapy and discontinuation of denosumab use were effective in managing the condition and the patient remains free of clinical and radiological changes after a 38 month follow-up.

Abstract
In this review, we summarize our current understanding of the pathophysiology of fragility fractures that occur for the first time during pregnancy and lactation, and provide guidance on appropriate investigations and treatment strategies. Most affected women will have had no prior bone density reading, and so the extent of bone loss that may have occurred during pregnancy or lactation is uncertain. During pregnancy, intestinal calcium absorption doubles in order to meet the fetal demand for calcium, but if maternal intake of calcium is insufficient to meet the combined needs of the mother and baby, the maternal skeleton will undergo resorption during the third trimester. During lactation, several hormonal changes, independent of maternal calcium intake, program a 5-10 % loss of trabecular mineral content in order to provide calcium to milk. After weaning the baby, the maternal skeleton is normally restored to its prior mineral content and strength. This physiological bone resorption during reproduction does not normally cause fractures; instead, women who do fracture are more likely to have additional secondary causes of bone loss and fragility. Transient osteoporosis of the hip may affect one or both femoral heads during pregnancy but it involves localized edema and not skeletal resorption. Case reports have described the use of calcitonin, bisphosphonates, strontium ranelate, teriparatide, vertebroplasty, and kyphoplasty to treat post-partum vertebral fractures. However, the need for such treatments is uncertain given that a progressive increase in bone mass subsequently occurs in most women who present with a fracture during pregnancy or lactation.

Abstract
Denosumab, a monoclonal antibody against the receptor activator for nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL), is a recently approved antiresorptive drug that suppresses osteoclast formation by targeting preosteclasts, in contrast to the traditional antiresorptive bisphosphonates that target mature osteoclasts. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a well-known, if rare, side effect of bisphosphonate therapy; however, cases of ONJ have also been reported since 2010 in patients taking denosumab. We describe here a patient who developed ONJ while receiving denosumab; the pharmacokinetics of denosumab and bisphosphonates are discussed in the context of ONJ management.

Abstract
In up to 75% of cases, advanced breast cancer patients eventually develop bone metastases with often debilitating skeletal-related events (SREs). Osteoclast inhibitors are commonly used as therapeutic mainstay with clinical studies showing superiority of denosumab over bisphosphonates (e.g., zoledronate) for the prevention of SREs. The present review discusses the adverse event profile of these agents, and addresses the prevention and management of untoward side effects. Adverse events associated with osteoclast inhibitors comprise osteonecrosis of the jaw and hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia is more common with denosumab, particularly in severe renal dysfunction. During therapy, the appropriate prevention of these adverse events includes close attention to dental health, avoidance of invasive dental procedures, supplementation with calcium and vitamin D unless patients are hypercalcemic, and regular monitoring of relevant serum values. Relating to the risk of nephrotoxicity, bisphosphonates but not denosumab have been incriminated. Therefore, serum creatinine levels should be checked prior to each dose of zoledronate, and in severe renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min) zoledronate is contraindicated anyway. Acute-phase reactions are particularly linked to bisphosphonates. Consequently, if these adverse events predominate, switching to denosumab is recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To describe our current state of knowledge about the pathophysiology, incidence, and treatment of osteoporosis that presents during pregnancy, puerperium, and lactation. RECENT FINDINGS When vertebral fractures occur in pregnant or lactating women, it is usually unknown whether the skeleton was normal before pregnancy. Maternal adaptations increase bone resorption modestly during pregnancy but markedly during lactation. The net bone loss may occasionally precipitate fractures, especially in women who have underlying low bone mass or skeletal fragility prior to pregnancy. Bone mass and strength are normally restored postweaning. Transient osteoporosis of the hip is a sporadic disorder localized to one or both femoral heads; it is not due to generalized skeletal resorption. Anecdotal reports have used bisphosphonates, strontium ranelate, teriparatide, or vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty to treat postpartum vertebral fractures, but it is unclear whether these therapies had any added benefit over the spontaneous skeletal recovery that normally occurs after weaning. SUMMARY These relatively rare fragility fractures result from multifactorial causes, including skeletal disorders that precede pregnancy, and structural and metabolic stresses that can compromise skeletal strength during pregnancy and lactation. Further study is needed to determine when pharmacological or surgical therapy is warranted instead of conservative or expectant management.
