Nogueira D, Caldas IM, Dinis-Oliveira RJ. Bisphosphonates and osteonecrosis of the jaws: Clinical and forensic aspects. Arch Oral Biol 2023; 155:105792. [PMID: 37611492 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2023.105792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This manuscript aims to provide a comprehensive review of the current knowledge in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention, and other relevant clinical and forensic aspects of a potentially severe complication known as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) while synthesizing state-of-the-art information on bisphosphonates and introducing a possible differential diagnosis. DESIGN An extensive search was conducted in PubMed (U.S. National Library of Medicine) without a time or language constraint, focusing on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, site specificity, signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, prevention, and forensic aspects of MRONJ. All types of original articles, reviews, case reports, short communications, opinion articles, guidelines, and letters to editors were considered to produce a complete review on this subject. RESULTS MRONJ prevention relies on a multidisciplinary approach and is critical since truly effective treatments are lacking. This therapeutic challenge is partly due to uncertainty regarding this condition's pathophysiology. Differential diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the jaws associated with krokodil abuse, one of the most dangerous and homemade psychoactive illicit substances, should be considered. CONCLUSIONS Further research into the etiology and site specificity of MRONJ is encouraged, aiming to develop novel treatment prospects. Indeed, comprehending this would allow for increased efficacy and therapeutic options while emphasizing the importance of prevention. In addition, we advocate for greater consensus among the various societies regarding MRONJ's treatment and management.

Prediction of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws using machine learning methods from estrogen receptor 1 polymorphisms and clinical information. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1140620. [PMID: 37415765 PMCID: PMC10321771 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1140620] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) polymorphisms on the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) in women with osteoporosis. Methods A total of 125 patients taking bisphosphonates was evaluated the relationship between MRONJ occurrence and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ESR1. Clinical information was collected, including current age, treatment duration, and comorbidity. Univariate and Multivariable regression analyzes were performed to evaluate the independent predictive factors for MRONJ occurrence. Predictive models were constructed using machine learning methods such as Lasso regression, Random forest (RF), and Support vector machine (SVM). The area under the receiver-operating curve (AUROC) was used to evaluate the performance of a binary classifier. Result Two SNPs of ESR1 (rs4870056 and rs78177662) were significantly associated with MRONJ development. Patients with variant allele (A) of rs4870056 showed 2.45 times (95% CI, 1.03-5.87) the odds of MRONJ occurrence compared to those with wild-type homozygote (GG) after adjusting covariates. Additionally, carriers with variant allele (T) of rs78177662 had higher odds than those with wild-type homozygote (CC) (adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 2.64, 95% CI, 1.00-6.94). Among demographic variables, age ≥ 72 years (aOR, 3.98, 95% CI, 1.60-9.87) and bisphosphonate exposure ≥48 months (aOR, 3.16, 95% CI, 1.26-7.93) were also significant risk factors for MRONJ occurrence. AUROC values of machine learning methods ranged between 0.756-0.806 in the study. Conclusion Our study showed that the MRONJ occurrence was associated with ESR1 polymorphisms in osteoporotic women.

Genome-wide association study of osteonecrosis of the jaw in Danish patients receiving antiresorptive therapy for osteoporosis: A case-control study. Bone Rep 2022; 18:101648. [PMID: 36582190 PMCID: PMC9792722 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2022.101648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Prior studies of the pharmacogenomics of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) have had various methodological limitations, including using candidate gene selection as their sole strategy, a small number of ONJ cases, or a study population based on an oncology setting. Objectives The aim of our case-control study was to evaluate previously reported associations between genetic factors and ONJ, which were based on either genome-wide association studies (GWAS) or candidate gene approaches. Furthermore, we aimed to identify genetic risk factors for ONJ by using GWAS to determine single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with statistically significant differences in frequency between ONJ patients and osteoporosis controls. Methods Patients with medically confirmed ONJ and who were registered in the Scandinavian Cohort of ONJ patients were included. Controls from the general population were matched on age (±5 years), sex, and cumulative antiresorptive drug exposure. The ONJ diagnosis date for cases corresponded to the index date for matched controls. DNA isolation, genotyping, and data analyses were performed by Q2/EA Genomics using standard protocols and best practices. Blood or tissue samples for 55 ONJ cases and 125 controls were collected. Due to the low quality of the tissue samples, final analyses were based on blood samples of 40 ONJ cases and 124 controls. Results We detected no significant genome-wide associations. Of the 43 SNPs with ONJ association in prior studies, none were replicated in our study. Conclusions Even though our study sample is the largest to date, we had limited statistical power for GWAS but adequate power for replication analyses. Our study provides no evidence for any genetic predisposition to ONJ. Future studies could increase their statistical power by combining ONJ GWAS datasets and by performing a meta-analysis or pursuing a sequencing strategy in order to identify rare variants.

Titanium alkalinization improves response of osteoblasts to zoledronic acid. Biointerphases 2022; 17:031004.

Abstract
This investigation is aimed to determine the effect of the modification of titanium surface with NaOH on the metabolism of osteoblasts treated with zoledronic acid (ZA). Machined and NaOH-treated titanium disks were used. Surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, confocal microscopy, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. Human osteoblasts were seeded onto the disks. After 24 h, cells were treated with ZA at 5 μM for 7 days. At this point, cell viability, collagen synthesis, total protein production, alkaline phosphatase activity, and mineral nodule deposition were assessed. The results of surface roughness were descriptively and statistically analyzed (t-Student), while the XPS results were qualitatively described. Cell metabolism data were analyzed by the analysis of variance two-way and Tukey tests at a 5% significance level. The results demonstrated that NaOH-treatment increased surface roughness (p < .05) and confirmed the presence of sodium titanate and a pH switch on the NaOH-treated disks. This modification also resulted in higher cell viability, collagen synthesis, total protein production, and alkaline phosphatase by osteoblasts when compared to cells seeded onto machined disks (p < 0.05). In the presence of ZA, all cellular metabolism and differentiation parameters were significantly reduced for cells seeded on both surfaces (p < 0.05); however, the cells seeded onto modified surfaces showed higher values for these parameters, except for mineral nodule deposition (p < 0.05). NaOH modification improved cell adhesion and metabolism of osteogenic cells even in the presence of ZA. The surface modification of titanium with NaOH solution may be an interesting strategy to improve metabolism and differentiation of osteoblasts and accelerate osseointegration process, mainly for tissues exposed to ZA.

Review of Myeloma Therapies and Their Potential for Oral and Maxillofacial Side Effects. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13174479. [PMID: 34503289 PMCID: PMC8431464 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13174479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2021] [Revised: 08/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Myeloma is a common cancer involving the bone marrow. Some of the medications used in the treatment of myeloma, including those that reduce the risk of bone fractures, can increase the chance of side effects occurring in the jawbone. The most serious complication in the jawbone is called medication-related osteonecrosis, meaning part of the jawbone dies. The aim of this review is to highlight some of the medications that are implicated and other risk factors that can contribute to osteonecrosis. Suggestions to prevent this complication from occurring are described. Conventional methods of treating established medication-related osteonecrosis of the jawbone are outlined as well as emerging new treatments. Abstract Myeloma is a common haematological malignancy in which adverse skeletal related events are frequently seen. Over recent years, treatment for myeloma has evolved leading to improved survival. Antiresorptive therapy is an important adjunct therapy to reduce the risk of bone fractures and to improve the quality of life for myeloma patients; however, this has the potential for unwanted side effects in the oral cavity and maxillofacial region. Osteonecrosis of the jaw related to antiresorptive medications and other myeloma therapies is not uncommon. This review serves to highlight the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw for myeloma patients, with some suggestions for prevention and management.

Machine Learning Approaches for Predicting Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis in Women with Osteoporosis Using VEGFA Gene Polymorphisms. J Pers Med 2021; 11:jpm11060541. [PMID: 34200782 PMCID: PMC8230421 DOI: 10.3390/jpm11060541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Revised: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: This nested case–control study aimed to investigate the effects of VEGFA polymorphisms on the development of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) in women with osteoporosis. Methods: Eleven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the VEGFA were assessed in a total of 125 patients. Logistic regression was performed for multivariable analysis. Machine learning algorithms, namely, fivefold cross-validated multivariate logistic regression, elastic net, random forest, and support vector machine, were developed to predict risk factors for BRONJ occurrence. Area under the receiver-operating curve (AUROC) analysis was conducted to assess clinical performance. Results: The VEGFA rs881858 was significantly associated with BRONJ development. The odds of BRONJ development were 6.45 times (95% CI, 1.69–24.65) higher among carriers of the wild-type rs881858 allele compared with variant homozygote carriers after adjusting for covariates. Additionally, variant homozygote (GG) carriers of rs10434 had higher odds than those with wild-type allele (OR, 3.16). Age ≥ 65 years (OR, 16.05) and bisphosphonate exposure ≥ 36 months (OR, 3.67) were also significant risk factors for BRONJ occurrence. AUROC values were higher than 0.78 for all machine learning methods employed in this study. Conclusion: Our study showed that the BRONJ occurrence was associated with VEGFA polymorphisms in osteoporotic women.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Initially endorsed as an antiosteoporotic agent, denosumab ‒ human monoclonal antibody inhibiting the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)‒ has currently shown an anticancer potential, rationalizing its exploitation in oncology. A prerequisite for leveraging denosumab in oncology is a favorable safety profile. AREAS COVERED The present review provides an overview of the adverse events of denosumab in oncology, with a focus on hypocalcemia, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, atypical femoral fracture(s), post-denosumab vertebral fractures, increased risk of infections, and excess of second primary cancer. Representative studies addressing the safety and efficacy of denosumab compared to bisphosphonates in oncology are summarized. Critical gaps in the literature concerning the safety of denosumab in oncology are highlighted as opposed to plenty of available safety data on denosumab as an antiosteoporotic agent. EXPERT OPINION Despite the generally acceptable safety profile of denosumab in oncology, many issues remain unresolved. Further research is mandatory to counteract current challenges, namely: (i) validation of risk factors for adverse events; (ii) elucidation of the pathophysiology of the adverse events in search of actionable molecular pathways; (iii) illumination of the association of denosumab with increased risk of infections and/or second primary cancer; (iv) establishment of optimal diagnostic, and therapeutic protocols.

Abstract
Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) and osteoradionecrosis of the jaws (ORNJ) are two different diseases of quite similar appearance. MRONJ is mainly due to antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drug therapy and ORNJ to radiotherapy. The present work aimed at presenting and comparing the current knowledge on MRONJ and ORNJ. They both present as an exposure of necrotic bone and differ in some clinical or radiological characteristics, clinical course and mostly in treatment. They share similar risk factors. A tooth extraction is more frequently found as a triggering factor in MRONJ. The frequency of a maxillary localisation seems higher for MRONJ. On computed tomographic images, a periosteal reaction seems characteristic of MRONJ. More frequent pathological fractures seem to occur in ORNJ. It is mandatory, for ORNJ diagnosis, to exclude a residual or recurrent tumour using histological examination. Both MRONJ and ORNJ are challenging to treat and cannot be managed similarly. For both, it would still be worth to optimise awareness within the medical community, patients' oral hygiene and dental cares to improve their prevention and make their incidences decrease. Conservative therapy is more frequently achieved for MRONJ than ORNJ and surgical resection is more often performed for ORNJ. For both diseases, the last treatment possible in refractory cases is a surgical extensive resection with free flap reconstruction. A MRONJ classification is widely used today, whereas no consensus exists to date for ORNJ classification. We propose a classification that could play this role.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is an oral complication in cancer patients being treated with either antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drugs. The first reports of MRONJ were published in 2003. Hundreds of manuscripts have been published in the medical and dental literature describing the complication, clinical and radiographic signs and symptoms, possible pathophysiology, and management. Despite this extensive literature, the pathobiological mechanisms by which medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw develops have not yet been fully delineated. The aim of this manuscript is to present current knowledge about the complication ragarding to the definition, known risk factors, and clinical management recommendations. Based on this current state of the science, we also propose research directions that have potential to enhance the management of future oncology patients who are receiving these agents.

Abstract
Dental extraction has often been described as the main trigger event of osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ). This longitudinal hospital-based study aimed to evaluate the outcome at 2 years of a standardized medical-surgical protocol for dental extraction, combined with platelet rich-plasma (PRP) application, compared with conventional protocol not combined with PRP or any other autologous platelet concentrate in cancer (ONC) and osteometabolic (OST) patients, at risk of bisphosphonate (BP)-related ONJ. Twenty patients were consecutively recruited: six received BPs for cancer skeletal-related events (34.17 ± 19.97 months), while fourteen received BPs for metabolic bone disease (74.5 ± 34.73 months). These patients underwent a standardized protocol for dental extraction, combined with autologous PRP application in the post-extraction socket. A total of 63 dental extractions were performed (24 and 39 in ONC and OST groups, respectively). As controls, historical cases, derived from the literature and including 171 ONC and 734 OST patients, were considered. The outcome of the surgical treatment was successful in all patients treated with PRP: two years after extraction, no patient had clinical or radiological signs of ONJ. When this datum was compared with historical controls, no statistically significant differences were found (p > 0.1). The combination of a standardized medical-surgical protocol with PRP application may contribute to limit the occurrence of BP-related ONJ, in both ONC and OST patients. Additional prospective studies with a larger patient sample are necessary to confirm this datum.

Abstract
Abstract Among other factors, types of bisphosphonates and treatment regimens seem to be strongly associated with the success or failure of installation of osseointegrated implants. This study investigated the influence of two bisphosphonates, sodium alendronate (SA) and zoledronic acid (ZA), on the metabolism of osteoblasts. Human osteoblasts (Saos-2) were seeded onto machined or acid-treated titanium discs previously placed on 24-well plates in complete culture medium. After 24 h, cells were exposed to bisphosphonates at 0.5, 1 or 5 µM for 24 h, 48 h or 7 days. The effects of SA and ZA on osteoblasts were assessed based on the adhesion of these cells to the titanium surfaces by direct fluorescence, cell viability, total protein and collagen synthesis. Alkaline phosphatase activity and mineral nodule deposition by these cells were also evaluated. Data were evaluated by ANOVA and Tukey tests (α=0.05). Decreased adhesion of cells to the titanium discs was observed when exposed to both bisphosphonates; however, this lack of cell adhesion was more evident for ZA-treated cells. In addition, the exposure of osteoblasts to ZA decreased the viability, ALP activity and mineral nodule deposition, which may be related to poor osseointegration after implant installation.

Abstract
Background Bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) presents with a typical pattern of jaw necrosis in patients who have been prescribed bisphosphonates (BPs) and other antiangiogenetic drugs to treat osteoporosis or bone-related complications of cancer. Methods This study divided 38 patients with BRONJ into two groups according to the prescribing causes: cancer (n = 13) and osteoporosis (n = 25), and underwent whole exome sequencing and compared them with normal controls (n = 90). To identify candidate genes and variants, we conducted three analyses: a traditional genetic model, gene-wise variant score burden, and rare-variant analysis methods. Results The stop-gain mutation (rs117889746) of the PZP gene in the BRONJ cancer group was significantly identified in the additive trend model analysis. In the cancer group, ARIDS, HEBP1, LTBP1, and PLVAP were identified as candidate genes. In the osteoporosis group, VEGFA, DFFA, and FAM193A genes showed a significant association. No significant genes were identified in the rare-variant analysis pipeline. Biologically accountable functions related to BRONJ occurrence-angiogenesis-related signaling (VEGFA and PLVAP genes), TGF-β signaling (LTBP1 and PZP genes), heme toxicity (HEBP1) and osteoblast maturation (ARIDS)-were shown in candidate genes. Conclusion This study showed that the candidate causative genes contributing to the development of BRONJ differ according to the BP dose and background disease.

[PMID: 31445964 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2019.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2019] [Revised: 07/23/2019] [Accepted: 07/25/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe complication that can develop in patients treated with anti-resorptive drugs. Although the pathogenesis of MRONJ is still unclear, genetic factors have a demonstrated important role. Thus, the aim of this study was to perform a systematic review on the pharmacogenetics of MRONJ. Studies published until March 2019 were retrieved from eight databases and were selected by two independent reviewers. Evidence on several genetic polymorphisms was summarized and a meta-analysis was conducted when possible. Fourteen studies involving 1515 participants were eligible for systematic review. For CYP2C8 rs1934951, no significant difference was observed between the MRONJ and non-MRONJ groups (odds ratio (OR) 2.04, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.88-4.73, P=0.09). However, a subgroup analysis based on only multiple myeloma status showed a positive association (OR 3.64, 95% CI 1.29-10.30, P=0.01). PPARG rs1152003 was not differently distributed between groups (OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.01-9.92, P=0.46). Also, VEGF rs3025039 was found to be correlated with the occurrence of MRONJ (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.15-0.82, P=0.02). CYP2C8 rs1934951 (in multiple myeloma patients) and VEGF rs3025039 are associated with the development of MRONJ in patients treated with bisphosphonates. The results are promising and call for new trials with a larger sample to further explore this growing field.

Is De-escalated Bisphosphonates Therapy a Suitable Alternative to Standard Dosing in Malignant Tumor Patients With Bone Metastases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Front Oncol 2019; 9:774. [PMID: 31475116 PMCID: PMC6702312 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2019.00774] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2019] [Accepted: 07/31/2019] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Previous studies have preliminarily identified the non-inferior efficacy for reducing skeletal-related event (SRE) rates between de-escalated (Q12w) and standard (Q3-4w) bone-targeting agents therapy in malignant tumor patients with bone metastases. In this study, we aim to make further efforts to analyze whether the de-escalated bisphosphonates (BPs) strategy is a suitable option by comprehensively retrieving and synthesizing state-of-the-art evidence. Methods: An extensive electronic search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing a BPs standard strategy with the de-escalated one in patients with bone metastases was performed up to June 2018. Outcomes of interest were general and found individual types of SRE, skeletal morbidity rate (SMR), bone pain, bone turnover biomarkers and adverse events (AEs). Continuous and dichotomous outcomes were summarized by the weighted mean difference (WMD) and risk ratio (RR), respectively, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: A total of eight studies, representing six unique trials (involving 3114 patients), were included. Pooled results indicated comparable efficacy on general SRE (RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.87-1.12; P = 0.86; I 2 = 0%) and SMR (WMD 0.00, 95% CI -0.02 -0.03; P = 0.81; I 2 = 0%). However, the rate of surgery involving bones was significantly higher in de-escalated group than standard group (RR 1.92, 95% CI 1.17-3.15; P = 0.01; I 2 = 0%) among individual types of SRE. Several trials also demonstrated increased levels of C-terminal or N-terminal telopeptide in de-escalated group. Meta-analyses for gastrointestinal disorders, dizziness and back pain showed significant reductions by 27% (RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.57-0.94; P = 0.01; I 2 = 0%), 48% (RR 0.52 95% CI 0.32-0.86; P = 0.01; I 2 = 0%), and 29% (RR 0.71, 0.51-0.99; P = 0.04; I 2 = 0%), respectively, compared to the standard therapy. Conclusion: For malignant tumor patients with bone metastases, a de-escalated BPs strategy is proved to have a better safety profile compared to standard dosing. Although the efficacy is generally comparable on SRE and SMR between the two dosing regimens, trials with long duration and large sample sizes are still warranted to make a solid judgment.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a rare but serious drug induced adverse event, mainly associated with the use of antiresorptive medications, such as intravenous (IV) bisphosphonates (BPs) in cancer patients. In this review, we evaluated all the pharmacogenomic association studies for ONJ published up to December 2018. To date, two SNPs (CYP2C8 rs1934951 and RBMS3 rs17024608) were identified to be associated with ONJ by two genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, all six subsequent candidate gene studies failed to replicate these results. In addition, six discovery candidate gene studies tried to identify the genetic markers in several genes associated with bone remodeling, bone mineral density, or osteoporosis. After evaluating the results of these 6 studies, none of the SNPs was significantly associated with ONJ. Recently, two whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis (including one from our group) were performed to identify variants associated with ONJ. So far, only our study successfully replicated discovery result indicating SIRT1 SNP rs7896005 to be associated with ONJ. However, this SNP also did not reach genome-wide significance. The major limitations of these studies include lack of replication phases and limited sample sizes. Even though some studies had larger sample sizes, they recruited healthy individuals as controls, not subjects treated with BPs. We conclude that a GWAS with a larger sample size followed by replication phase will be needed to fully investigate the pharmacogenomic markers of ONJ.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess whether genetic variation is a predictor for the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) in patients receiving bisphosphonate therapy for various conditions. A systematic review based on the PRISMA guidelines was performed. A search strategy was developed. Comprehensive searches of major databases were conducted for studies published January 2003 through July 2018. The PICOS strategy was used to develop the inclusion criteria. The analysis in each study was performed primarily using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) frequency mean values and odds ratios between cases and controls. A total of 3301 patients were enrolled in the 15 included studies (two genome-wide association studies, n = 1877; 10 candidate gene studies, n = 1195; three whole genome/whole exome studies, n = 229). Multiple myeloma was the most prevalent primary disease (54.8%). Zoledronate was prescribed in 68.8% of patients. No one SNP was definitively identified as a risk factor for the development of MRONJ. To date, studies have failed to show a single gene as a risk factor for MRONJ. Heterogeneity of case and control populations may be contributory. Next generation sequencing studies may help elucidate the role and interplay of genetic events in the development of MRONJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine if the treatment with bisphosphonates other anti-resorptive and antiangiogenic agents influences the success of regenerative and / or implant treatments. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed the literature from the last 5 years in the PubMed database, using the following words: "Sinus Floor Augmentation"[Mesh] OR "Dental Implants"[Mesh]) OR "Guided Tissue Regeneration"[Mesh]) AND "Osteonecrosis"[Mesh]. The articles were selected following the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were evaluated using the 22 items of the STROBE declaration. The following PICO clinical question was applied: Does the treatment with agents associated with drug osteonecrosis influence the success of regenerative and implant treatments? RESULTS The initial search resulted in a total of 27 articles. After eliminating those that did not refer to the topic, were duplicated or did not meet the inclusion / exclusion criteria, a full reading of the articles was made evaluating their methodological quality, obtaining six studies with high methodological quality and two with moderate. CONCLUSIONS The literature regarding this topic is scarce, randomized clinical trials would be necessary to establish protocols relative to implant treatment in patients on antiresorptive treatments. The risk of developing an osteonecrosis associated with the regeneration / implant placement in patients with benign bone diseases is scarce, but it exists and it should not be underestimated. Especially, in the posterior areas of the jaw, if the duration of treatment with BP is greater than 3 years, and if the patient is under therapy with systemic corticosteroids.

Abstract
Background The goal of this paper was to identify available biomarkers to predict the onset of biphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Material and Methods Case-control studies comparing the different concentrations of a series of molecules detected in serum and urine as matrices of BRONJ affected patients vs. non-affected were included. PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews were used for the present paper. Two reviewers independently screened electronic databases (Medline, Web of science, and The Cochrane Library) and performed hand searches. Risk of bias assessment of selected studies was performed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. This study is registered as PROSPERO CRD42017078149. Results From a total of 601 identified studies, 7 (4 articles with high methodological quality and 3 with medium) articles were included. They investigate 2623 patients, of whom 91 (3.47%) developed BRONJ. A total of 7 biomarkers were identified and classified into 3 groups: bone turnover, angiogenesis and endocrine markers. Conflicting results were found in relation to most biomarkers. Conclusions The present review suggests that no useful markers are currently available to evaluate BRONJ risk. Nevertheless, the present paper indicates that a paradigm shift from bone turnover biomarkers to angiogenesis and endocrine markers could shed light on this search.

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.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are considered the most effective drugs for controlling adult and pediatric osteolytic diseases. Although they have been used successfully for many years, several side effects, such as osteonecrosis of the jaw, delayed dental eruption, atypical femoral fracture, and alterations to the bone growth system, have been described. After an overview of nitrogenous bisphosphonate, the purpose of this article is to describe their mechanisms of action and current applications, review the preclinical and clinical evidence of their side effects in the skeleton ("what we know"), and describe current recommendations for preventing and managing these effects ("what we can do"). Finally, promising future directions on how to limit the occurrence of these side effects will be presented.
