Nowak SM, Sacco R, Mitchell FL, Patel V, Gurzawska-Comis K. The effectiveness of autologous platelet concentrates in prevention and treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws: A systematic review. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2024; 52:671-691. [PMID: 38644092 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2024.01.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/23/2024] Open
Abstract
The systematic review aims to answer the PICOS question: "Are the autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) an effective strategy in prevention and/or treatment of patients at risk of/affected by medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ)?". A literature search was conducted via PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL (January 2006 - September 2023). 30 articles were included, evaluating preventive (n = 8*) and treatment strategies (n = 23*). The risk of bias and quality of studies were assessed utilising ROB-2, ROBIN-1 and GRADE criteria. Meta-analysis was undertaken for eligible studies. The application of APCs demonstrated a statistically significant effectiveness in prevention of MRONJ in 86.13% (p < 0.001) but failed to achieve the same level of certainty in treatment of established MRONJ in 83.4% (p = 0.08). High levels of bias were identified; thus, the results should be interpreted with caution. More high quality prospective randomised controlled trials are needed to further evaluate the effectiveness of APCs in management of MRONJ.

Lee ES, Tsai MC, Lee JX, Wong C, Cheng YN, Liu AC, Liang YF, Fang CY, Wu CY, Lee IT. 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.

J Oral Biol Craniofac Res 2023; 13:57-66. [PMID: 36465890 PMCID: PMC9712696 DOI: 10.1016/j.jobcr.2022.11.002] [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: 08/04/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Platelet-rich plasma is considered an effective modality to promote bone regeneration, improve hard and soft tissue healing in surgical procedures including sinus augmentation. However, the survival of dental implants in sinus augmented sites with platelet-rich plasma has shown equivocal results in recent studies. Purpose In this systematic review, data on dental implants' survival in sinus augmentation sites with platelet-rich plasma were examined. Materials and methods Randomized controlled trials on the topic with a minimum mean follow-up of 6 months with no language restriction were considered. Other study designs on the topic were excluded. Accordingly, relevant articles were searched in Clinicaltrials.gov, Cochrane databases, PubMed/Medline, and Scopus up to April 2021. Using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool, the listed studies' risk of bias was evaluated. From the included studies, the pertinent information was taken and pooled for qualitative and quantitative analysis using R software 4.1.1. Results Six randomized controlled trials involving 188 patients who underwent sinus augmentation with and without platelet-rich plasma, and 781 implants were included for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Four hundred and eleven implants were placed in the intervention group (with platelet-rich plasma) and 370 implants were placed in the control group (without platelet-rich plasma). The pooled estimate (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.37 to 1.91; I2 = 0%) indicated that there was no statistically significant difference observed between the groups. The test for subgroup differences showed no statistically significant differences between the subgroups (p = 0.45) with no heterogeneity (I2 = 0%). Conclusion The bias associated with selective reporting of outcome data was considered as some concern for bias. This systematic review revealed that the effect of platelet-rich plasma is uncertain on the survival of dental implants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Mechanisms of wound healing are often impaired in patients with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). According to the guidelines for the treatment of this disease, early surgical intervention is indicated. However, surgery often faces complications such as wound healing disorders. The application of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) after necrosectomy between bone and mucosa may constitute a promising approach to improve surgical results. An aspect that was not investigated until now is that PRF acts as a "bio-carrier" for antibiotics previously applied intravenously. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated the antimicrobial properties of PRF in 24 patients presenting ONJ undergoing systemic antibiosis with ampicillin/sulbactam. We measured the concentration of ampicillin/sulbactam in plasma and PRF and performed agar diffusion tests. Ampicillin/sulbactam was applied intravenously to the patient 10 minutes for blood sampling for PRF. No further incorporation of patients' blood or PRF product with antibiotic drugs was obtained. Four healthy patients served as controls. RESULTS Our results revealed that PRF is highly enriched with ampicillin/sulbactam that is released to the environment. The antibiotic concentration in PRF was comparable to the plasma concentration of ampicillin/sulbactam. The inhibition zone (IZ) of PRF was comparable to the standard ampicillin/sulbactam discs used in sensitivity testing. CONCLUSIONS The results of our study demonstrated that PRF is a reliable bio-carrier for systemic applied antibiotics and exhibits a large antimicrobial effect. CLINICAL RELEVANCE We describe a clinically useful feature of PRF as a bio-carrier for antibiotics. Especially when applied to poorly perfused tissues and bone such as in ONJ, the local release of antibiotics can reduce wound healing disorders like infections.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a refractory disease, and a standard protocol for its treatment has not yet been established. In addition, owing to the old age of MRONJ patients and various complications, treatment goals focus on relieving the symptoms and improving the quality of life. For this reason, different treatments such as conservative, surgical, and adjunctive treatments have been attempted. In particular, adjunctive treatment, which is effective for promoting healing and reducing recurrence, is gaining increasing interest, and several studies and clinical trials related to it have been published. Representative adjuvant therapies include teriparatide, recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2, hyperbaric oxygen, photobiomodulation and platelet concentrates. All have generally shown beneficial effects; however, no standard protocol for adjunctive treatment exists. Therefore, in this literature review, we briefly summarized the different adjuvant therapies and reviewed clinical reports to help decide whether to use adjuvant therapies in treating patients with MRONJ.

Abstract
Background Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a well-known complication associated with antiresorptive and antiangiogenic therapies. The purpose of this study was to analyse if there is any predictive factor of recurrence after local debridement plus platelet rich plasma (PRP) placement in MRONJ patients. Material and Methods Seventy MRONJ patients treated at the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in La Paz Hospital (Madrid, Spain) were included in this retrospective study. All of them were treated surgically by local debridement and PRP placement. The observation period was between January 2012 and January 2019. Information regarding use, type, administration, and duration of therapy with BP/denosumab was recorded. The follow-up period ranged from 2-52 months. A descriptive analysis, a bivariate and a multivariate study were performed. Results Most of the patients were women (82.9%) between 50-70 years old (64.3%), with a stage II disease (74.3%). The therapy lasted more than 12 months in 54.8% of them. Zoledronic acid was the main antiresorptive used (44.3%), followed by oral administered BPs (29 patients, 41.4%) and denosumab (10 patients, 14.3%). Osteoporosis (48.6%), breast cancer (30%) and multiple myeloma (11.4%) were the main diseases because the patients were taking antirresorptives. 13 patients (18.6%) experienced recurrence. We found that breast cancer patients (p>0.0001), smokers (p>0.016), and administration of zoledronic acid (p>0.0001) were related to recurrence. After performing the multivariate model, we found that the only factor related to recurrence was smoking habit (Wald 3.837, p=0.05, OR 6.12). Conclusions recurrence after local debridement plus PRP placement in our MRONJ series affected to 18.6% of patients. It seems to be more frequent in breast cancer patients, smokers, and after zoledronic acid administration. Smoking habit was the only independent factor related to recurrence in our series. Key words:Osteonecrosis of the jaw, recurrence, risk factor, bisphosphonates, zoledronic acid, denosumab, platelet rich plasma.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse reaction of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic agents, and it is also a potentially painful and debilitating condition. To date, no specific studies have prospectively evaluated the efficacy of its treatment and no robust standard of care has been established. Therefore, a systematic review (2007–2020) with a pooled analysis was performed in order to compare MRONJ surgical techniques (conservative or aggressive) versus combined surgical procedures (surgery plus a non-invasive procedure), where 1137 patients were included in the pooled analysis. A statistically significant difference in the 6-month improvement rate, comparing combined conservative surgery versus only aggressive (91% versus 72%, p = 0.05), was observed. No significant difference regarding any group with respect to the 6-month total resolution rate (82% versus 72%) was demonstrated. Of note, conservative surgery combined with various, adjuvant, non-invasive procedures (ozone, LLLT or blood component + Nd:YAG) was found to achieve partial or full healing in all stages, with improved results and the amelioration of many variables. In conclusion, specific adjuvant treatments associated with minimally conservative surgery can be considered effective and safe in the treatment of MRONJ, although well-controlled studies are a requisite in arriving at definitive statements

Abstract
ABSTRACT The frequent refractory response of patients to the treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRJON) has attracted clinicians' attention to several treatments. However, they are at best, palliative, and have a higher failure rate than previous treatments. The present meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) combined with surgery in the treatment of MRONJ. The authors conducted a meta-analysis involving a systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Wiley Online Library and the Cochrane Library for eligible studies from their inception to November 2019, in accordance with preselected criteria. The inverse variance method was applied to fixed or random effects models based on the heterogeneity of the studies. Thirteen studies that investigated APCs in the treatment of MRONJ were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis of 223 patients and 33 lesions. The pooled success rate of APCs combined with surgery for MRONJ was 90% (95%CI, 80%-97%) and the pooled OR was 7.67 (95%CI, 2.10-27.98), indicating the combination was 7.67 times more effective than surgery alone. The results suggest that the use of APCs is a promising therapeutic regimen, as it provided additional benefits to surgery in the treatment of MRONJ. To achieve the benefits, a tension-free primary closure of the soft tissue is recommended as well. Randomized studies with large sample sizes is warranted to confirm our finding.

Abstract
Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaws and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) are uncommon but serious diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial region with clinically similar appearance but distinct pathophysiology. Management of ORN and MRONJ is inherently challenging and the treatment outcomes are unpredictable. The use of autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) to promote hard and soft tissue healing is well described in the literature, and the efficacy of leucocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) has been well documented in a number of clinical studies. The aim of this study was to present our treatment strategy and the outcomes of incorporating L-PRF as a surgical adjunct in management of ORN and MRONJ in our centre. Methods: eight cases of ORN and MRONJ were treated with a combination of sequestrectomy and L-PRF as a surgical adjunct. Results: the overall success was 87.5%. Using L-PRF as an adjunct, we were able to predictably manage ORN and MRONJ without causing significant morbidity. Conclusion: our experience shows that L-PRF may be used as a valuable and cost-effective adjunct to surgical management of ORN and MRONJ. However, due to a limited number of patients, and a short period of review, the true effectiveness of the method is yet to be demonstrated in a longer follow-up study including a greater number of patients, besides the inclusion of a control group.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic review was to establish the current status of the subject and find out what scientific evidence we have on the use of autologous plasma concentrates (APCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as complementary therapies at the management of Medication-related Osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). We performed a literature search of articles published between December 2019 to January 2020 in electronic databases, in accordance to PRISMA system. The variables analyzed were: the number of patients, age, sex, medical history, origin of MRONJ, imaging studies, treatment performed, and evolution of MRONJ. The articles included in the review were grouped into two groups (Group A "Therapy with APCs" and Group B "Therapy with APCs and MSCs"). Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of the articles. Fisher's exact test was used to evaluate eventual differences between groups. Of the 306 patients who were included, 297 belonged to Group A and 9 to Group B. In our sample, women predominated against men and no significant differences in age were observed. Osteoporosis was the most frequent underlying disease in both groups. The most common origin of MRONJ was oral surgery in group A. Conservative surgery was performed in all patients, but complementary treatment was applied in different ways in each group. The resolution of the pathology was achieved in 90% of cases in both groups without significant differences between them. The mean score of the reviewed studies at NOS was 4. There are currently no published scientific data that can sufficiently support the use of APCs and MSCs for the treatment of established MRONJs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe adverse reaction caused by the use of antiresorptive antiangiogenic medication. Treating MRONJ is difficult and besides standard treatments, which are conservative medical and surgical approaches, there are some adjuvant therapies that might further stimulate healing. The aim of this systematic review is to compare outcome and effectiveness of currently available adjuvant therapies for MRONJ. METHODS This systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Articles focusing on mucosal healing in patients treated with an adjuvant therapy for MRONJ were selected and analysed. Inclusion was not limited to randomized controlled trials to present a complete review of the current literature. RESULTS A search was performed in Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Thirty articles out of 3297 were included. Laser ablation had a success of 60-95% for complete healing. The controlled trials of leukocyte- and platelet-rich-fibrine (LPRF) showed 60-100% success for the same outcome. Fluorescence guided surgery had a complete healing percentage of 85-90%. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that laser ablation, LPRF and fluorescence guided surgery might have a potential in improving the healing process. Interpreting the results should however be done with great care and a critical point of view, as most articles had a medium to high risk of bias. More randomized controlled trials are necessary to define the most beneficial therapy protocols. CLINICAL RELEVANCE It seems that adjuvant surgical therapies for treating MRONJ are beneficial for mucosal healing, but there is only low scientific evidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the effect of a collagen matrix (Mucograft®) on the inflammatory process in a semi-critical experimental defect model in rats treated with bisphosphonates. METHODS Eighteen Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: saline (CG), alendronate (ALD) 5mg/kg (AG) or zoledronic acid (ZA) 0.2mg/kg (ZG). ALD was administered orally for 10 weeks and ZA was administered intravascularly on days 0, 7 and 14 and 49. On day 42, a 2mm defect was created and filled with Mucograft® collagen matrix. The contralateral side was filled with a clot (control side). The animals were euthanized 70 days after the beginning of the experiment and the hemimandibles were radiographically and histologically (counting of empty osteocyte lacunae (%), apoptotic (%) and total osteoclasts, neutrophil and mononuclear inflammatory cells) analyzed. The variables were submitted to ANOVA/Bonferroni and t test (parametric data) (p <0.05, GraphPad Prism 5.0). RESULTS Significant bone repair occurred in the groups treated with Mucograft®. High number of total inflammatory cells and neutrophils cells were showed in AG (p=0.026 and p=0.035) and AZ groups (p=0.005, p=0.034) on the control sides associated with delayed bone repair and the presence of devitalized bone tissue in AG and ZG on the Mucograft® side. CONCLUSION Mucograft® collagen matrix attenuated the inflammatory process in a mandible defect in rats submitted to the use of bisphosphonates (AG and ZG).

Abstract
The oral cavity is a non-uniform, extraordinary environment characterized by mucosal, epithelial, abiotic surfaces and secretions as saliva. Aerobic and anaerobic commensal and pathogenic microorganisms colonize the tongue, teeth, jowl, gingiva, and periodontium. Commensals exert an important role in host defenses, while pathogenic microorganisms can nullify this protective function causing oral and systemic diseases. Every day, 750-1000 mL of saliva, containing several host defense constituents including lactoferrin (Lf), are secreted and swallowed. Lf is a multifunctional iron-chelating cationic glycoprotein of innate immunity. Depending on, or regardless of its iron-binding ability, Lf exerts bacteriostatic, bactericidal, antibiofilm, antioxidant, antiadhesive, anti-invasive, and anti-inflammatory activities. Here, we report the protective role of Lf in different oral pathologies, such as xerostomia, halitosis, alveolar or maxillary bone damage, gingivitis, periodontitis, and black stain. Unlike antibiotic therapy, which is ineffective against bacteria that are within a biofilm, adherent, or intracellular, the topical administration of Lf, through its simultaneous activity against microbial replication, biofilms, adhesion, and invasiveness, as well as inflammation, has been proven to be efficient in the treatment of all known oral pathologies without any adverse effects.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic review was to answer the question: Is the application of autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) effective in the prevention and treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ)? A literature search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases (articles published until June 30, 2019) was conducted, in accordance with the PRISMA statement, using search terms related to "platelet concentrate" and "osteonecrosis". The Jadad scale was used to assess the quality of the articles. Fisher's exact test was used to evaluate eventual differences between groups. Of 594 articles, 43 were included in the review (8 for MRONJ prevention and 35 for MRONJ treatment). Out of a total of 1219 dental extractions recorded (786 with APCs), only 12 cases of MRONJ have been reported (1%), all in patients with a history of high-dose antiresorptive treatment, and regardless of the use of APCs (p = 0.7634). Regarding MRONJ treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in terms of improvement between APC application and surgical treatment alone (p = 0.0788). Results are not sufficient to establish the effectiveness of APCs in the prevention and treatment of MRONJ. Randomized controlled trials with large sample size are needed.

Abstract
Introduction: Bisphosphonates consist of a range of drugs used in the treatment of osteopathy or some osteotropic malignancies. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse consequence of their use. Conventional treatment is not always effective, so it is necessary to resort to the use of adjuvant therapies. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the association of surgery, antibiotic therapy and low-level laser (LLL) therapy as a treatment strategy for MRONJ through the presentation of a clinical case. Case Presentation: A 49-year-old female patient presented for the diagnosis and treatment of bone lesions in the maxillae. The patient reported that she had used zoledronate for 1 year. Five years later there were 2 painless bone lesions on both sides of the maxilla, following the extraction of the first upper molars. Clinical, tomographic and histopathologic examination established the diagnosis of MRONJ. The treatment consisted of the curettage of the necrotic bone, antibiotic and thirteen LLL therapy sessions. Integral mucosal healing was observed after a two-month follow-up and no symptoms were detected. The patient was evaluated at 6 and 12 postoperative months without complications. Conclusion: The combination of surgery, antibiotic therapy, and LLL therapy has shown to be effective in the treatment of MRONJ.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) after bone surgery compared to surgery alone in the treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). STUDY DESIGN A total of 47 patients with diagnosis of stage II or III of MRONJ were recruited at the Academic Hospital of Magna Graecia University of Catanzaro and allocated to 2 groups: In the first, patients were treated with PRF in addition to surgery (PRF group), in the other, only bone surgery was performed (non-PRF group). Fisher's exact and Student t tests were used to evaluate differences between the 2 surgical protocols in terms of mucosal integrity, absence of infection, and pain evaluation at scheduled follow-ups of 1 month (T1), 6 months (T2), and 1 year (T3). RESULTS Analysis of mucosal integrity, absence of infection, and pain evaluation showed a significant difference between the 2 groups in favor of PRF only at T1 (P < .05), whereas no differences were determined at T2 and T3 (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that local application of PRF after bone surgery may improve the quality of life limited to the short-term follow-up and reduce pain and postoperative infections.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaws is an emerging pathological condition characterized by un-exposure or exposure of the necrotic bone, independently from the etiology. This term is usually referred to medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws due to severe adverse reaction to certain medicines, as bisphosphonates, used for the treatment of cancer and osteoporosis. The management of patients with Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (BRONJ) remains challenging because surgical and medical interventions may not eradicate this pathology. The goal of treatment of patients at risk of developing BRONJ or of those who have active disease is the preservation of quality of life by controlling pain, managing infection, and preventing the development of new areas of necrosis. The treatment of osteonecrosis consists in the surgical removal of necrotic bone followed by antibiotic therapy and application of sterile greasy gauze until the wound closure. The classical medical treatment has been compared with the innovative one consisting in the application of sterile greasy gauze soaked with bovine lactoferrin (bLf) after surgery. Here, for the first time, bLf efficacy on wound repair in subjects suffering from BRONJ with the progressive destruction of bone in the mandible or maxilla has been demonstrated. The positive results consist in a significant shorter time of wound closure (1 or 2 weeks) compared to that observed with classical surgical treatment (2-3 months). These promising results are an interesting tool for the innovative treatment of this pathology and for increasing the quality of life of these patients.

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.

Bone substitutes: a review of their characteristics, clinical use, and perspectives for large bone defects management. J Tissue Eng 2018; 9:2041731418776819. [PMID: 29899969 PMCID: PMC5990883 DOI: 10.1177/2041731418776819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 371] [Impact Index Per Article: 61.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2018] [Accepted: 04/24/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Bone replacement might have been practiced for centuries with various materials of natural origin, but had rarely met success until the late 19th century. Nowadays, many different bone substitutes can be used. They can be either derived from biological products such as demineralized bone matrix, platelet-rich plasma, hydroxyapatite, adjunction of growth factors (like bone morphogenetic protein) or synthetic such as calcium sulfate, tri-calcium phosphate ceramics, bioactive glasses, or polymer-based substitutes. All these substitutes are not suitable for every clinical use, and they have to be chosen selectively depending on their purpose. Thus, this review aims to highlight the principal characteristics of the most commonly used bone substitutes and to give some directions concerning their clinical use, as spine fusion, open-wedge tibial osteotomy, long bone fracture, oral and maxillofacial surgery, or periodontal treatments. However, the main limitations to bone substitutes use remain the management of large defects and the lack of vascularization in their central part, which is likely to appear following their utilization. In the field of bone tissue engineering, developing porous synthetic substitutes able to support a faster and a wider vascularization within their structure seems to be a promising way of research.

In vivo effects of geranylgeraniol on the development of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2017; 46:230-236. [PMID: 29233701 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2017.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2017] [Revised: 10/20/2017] [Accepted: 11/13/2017] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) is a complication of the bisphosphonate (BP) treatment and its pathopysiology is still not fully understood. The existing preventive and treatment options require updates and more attention. Geranylgeraniol (GGOH) so far demonstrated an increased activity and viability of the cells previously treated with zoledronic acid (ZA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vivo effects of GGOH on the development of BRONJ. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 30 male Wistar rats were included in the study, divided into three groups: two experimental groups (EG1 and EG2) and a control group (CG). Rats from EG1 and EG2 were treated with 0,06 mg/kg ZA ip weekly in a duration of five weeks, while CG received saline ip. On the third week all animals underwent extraction of the lower right first molars. The rats from EG2 received a local solution of GGOH in concentration of 5 mM in the socket every day after the tooth extraction. The analyses included clinical evaluation on the wound healing and pathohistological evaluation for presence and level of osteonecrosis. RESULTS EG2 showed significantly improved wound healing and tissue proliferation, when compared to EG1. EG2 significantly differed from EG1 and CG (p<0,05) for the presence of microscopical osteonecrosis (80% vs 22,2% vs 0%). Regarding to the number of empty lacunes without osteocytes and the level of necrosis, all groups demonstrated significant differences. CONCLUSION Geranylgeraniol in a form of local solution may be a promising option for prevention and treatment of BRONJ.

Abstract
Platelets-rich plasma (PRP) can produce growth factors (GFs) to improve angiogenesis. However, direct injection of PRP does not lead to highly localized GFs. The current study employs a mussel-inspired polydopamine to immobilize PRP on gelatin microspheres (GMs) with the purpose of bridging adipose micro-tissues to help implanted fat survive (GM-pDA-PRP). Enhanced PRP adhesion leads to a prolonged and localized production of GFs, which is verified by platelet counting and by ELISA of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and of platelet derived growth factors (PDGFs). The GM-pDA-PRP "hatches" a microenvironment for the proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells. After the adipose micro-tissue has bridged with GM-pDA-PRP after 16 weeks, triple-fluorescence staining reveals that the mature adipocytes, blood vessels, and capillaries are arranged like in normal adipose tissue. The survival fat increases significantly compared to that in control, PRP, and GM-PRP groups (84.8 ± 11.4% versus 47.8 ± 8.9%, 56.9 ± 9.7%, and 60.2 ± 10.5%, respectively). Both histological assessments and CD31 immunofluorescence indicate that the improvement of angiogenesis in GM-pDA-PRP is higher than in the fat graft group (6.4-fold in quantitative CD31 positive cells). The CD34 positive cells in the GM-pDA-PRP group are around 3.5-fold the amount in the fat graft group, which suggests that more stem cells migrate to the implant area. Cell proliferation staining shows that the number of Ki67 positive cells is around five times as high as that in the fat graft group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For the treatment of the bisphosphonates and other drugs related osteonecrosis of the jaws, currently medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ), have been established different conservative therapeutic approaches, avoiding surgery except in cases of extreme need. Given the controversy and lack of current consensus regarding MRONJ therapy in patients, new techniques have been developed among which the use of fibrin membranes rich in platelets and leukocytes (L-PRF). The objective of this review is to evaluate whether L-PRF treatment is really effective, as well as the results that can be achieved by this therapeutic alternative. MATERIAL AND METHODS A review of the literature in the PubMed/Medline database of all those studies using L-PRF in the treatment of osteonecrosis using the keywords "Osteonecrosis", "Jaws", "L-PRF" and " Leucocyte-rich platelet-rich fibrin ". RESULTS The use of L-PRF for the treatment of MRONJ is really effective, especially when it is performed with a simultaneous application of L-PRF and morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), even in patients submitted for long periods of time to therapy with intravenous bisphosphonates. However, success will depend on several factors such as the previous existence of infection or the clinical stage in which the patient is. CONCLUSIONS The current literature demonstrates the effectiveness of the use of L-PRF in osteonecrosis, and it can be considered as a real alternative in the treatment of this entity. However, more clinical studies are needed to really assess this new therapy. Key words:Osteonecrosis, Jaws, L-PRF, Leucocyte-rich platelet-rich fibrin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of management strategies used for the treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) remains poorly understood. The authors evaluated systematically the effectiveness of the various treatment modalities used for MRONJ. TYPES OF STUDIES REVIEWED The authors conducted a comprehensive search of MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus to identify randomized controlled trials, nonrandomized controlled trials, and prospective cohort studies to evaluate comparatively the effectiveness of management strategies for the treatment of MRONJ. The authors conducted the identification of eligible studies in duplicate and synthesized the extracted data by means of a meta-analysis, when feasible. RESULTS The authors found 13 studies with a medium-to-high risk of bias that met the inclusion criteria of this review. The authors found that, compared with medical treatment of local antimicrobials with or without systemic antimicrobials, the study investigators associated surgical treatment with higher odds of complete resolution of the condition (2 studies; 76 participants; unadjusted odds ratio, 3.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.12 to 11.19). The effectiveness of other therapies, such as bisphosphonate drug holidays, teriparatide, and hyperbaric oxygen, was uncertain. CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS On the basis of the results of an unadjusted analysis, the results of the studies that were deemed to be medium to low quality and to have medium-to-low statistical power suggested that there are higher odds of resolving MRONJ with surgical treatment compared with medical treatment. High-quality research is required for conclusive statements to be made regarding treatment strategies for management of MRONJ.

Abstract
The article presents review of the literature on the current state of the problem of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. In Russia and abroad there are numerous reports of atypical lesions of the maxilla associated with taking medications on the basis of phosphorus or its analogues, in particular bisphosphonates. This is an issue: if earlier bisphosphonate treatment complications were limited to individual clinical observations, currently their frequency, according to different authors, reaches 8-27%. Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is characterized by unique etiopathogenic, clinical and diagnostic features that distinguish it from other inflammatory, degenerative and iatrogenic diseases of orofacial region, so it is reasonable to isolate it into an independent nosology, requiring a comprehensive study. According to current data, bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is a complication of antiresorptive therapy, characterized by necrosis and exposure of bone area, which persists for more than 8 weeks, followed by the process progression in the absence of radiation therapy to the head area in history. Bisphosphonates are antiresorptive agents, potent inhibitors of bone tissue destruction, widely used for the treatment of bone metastasis, multiple myeloma, and hypercalcemia in cancer patients. However, the development of complications such as osteonecrosis of the jaw greatly reduces the positive effects of treatment, and extremely bothersome for patients. Osteonecrosis-related pyo-inflammatory processes of admaxillary tissue, the appearance of persistent sinus tracts on the skin and in the mouth, the risk of pathologic fracture of the jaw impair the quality of life of patients. Presented in the article analysis of currently known data about the bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw should attract the attention of dental surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, endocrinologists, oncologists to this problem.

Abstract
Introduction Chemotherapy-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw caused by bisphosphonates is an exposure of necrotic bone with more than eight weeks of evolution that is attributable to bisphosphonates and no prior radiation therapy. Its etiopathogenesis remains unknown, although there are two hypotheses that may explain it: the drug’s mechanism of action, and the risk factors that can lead to osteonecrosis. There is a wide range of treatment options for managing chemotherapy-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw, from conservative treatments to surgical procedures of varying levels of invasiveness, which are sometimes supplemented with adjuvant therapies. Objectives The objective of this article is to group the therapeutic options for osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) into seven different protocols and to evaluate their effectiveness in relation to stage of ONJ. Material and Methods A literature review was carried out in PubMed following the PRISMA criteria. A total of 47 were collected after compiling a series of variables that define ONJ, applied treatments, and the clinical results obtained. Results and Discussion The 47 articles selected have a low to average estimated risk of bias and are of moderate to good quality. According to the data obtained, Protocol 3 (conservative treatment, clinical and radiological follow-up, minimally invasive surgical treatment, and adjuvant therapies) is the most favorable approach for ONJ lesions caused by oral bisphosphonates. For lesions caused by intravenous bisphosphonates, Protocol 2 (conservative treatment, clinical and radiological follow-up, minimally invasive surgical treatment, and no adjuvant therapies) is the best approach. When comparing the different stages of ONJ, Protocol 1 (conservative treatment, clinical and radiological follow-up) promotes better healing of Stage 1 ONJ lesions caused by orally administered bisphosphonates, and Protocol 3 is recommended for Stage II. For ONJ lesions attributable to intravenous bisphosphonates, Protocol 7 (conservative treatment, clinical and radiological follow-up, and adjuvant therapies) provides the best results in Stage 0; in Stages I, II, and III, Protocol 1 gives better results. Key words:Bisphosphonates, bronj, therapeutic protocol, clinical result.

Abstract
PURPOSE To date, no ideal strategy has been established for treating or preventing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The aim of the present work was to perform a systematic literature review to determine the efficacy of autologous platelet concentrate (APC) application, for prevention or treatment of MRONJ, together with surgical debridement. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic search was performed using MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, and Cochrane databases until January 2015 using the following search terms: osteonecrosis, bisphosphonates, antiresorptive, antiangiogenic therapy, BRONJ, platelet concentrate, PRP, PRF, and PRGF. Two reviewers assessed the eligibility of articles independently and extracted key data. The methodology used met PRISMA criteria. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess the quality of the articles. RESULTS Preventive applications of platelet-rich plasma (PLP) were reported in 697 dental extractions in patients taking bisphosphonates intravenously, of whom seven patients developed osteonecrosis (five mandibular and two maxillary). In cases of established osteonecrosis, eight studies reported treatment by surgery combined with APC (seven with PRP and one with leukocyte-rich and platelet-rich fibrin) in 123 patients (34 men and 89 women) with ONJ, who received 157 treatments, of which 135 achieved complete resolution (85.98%). CONCLUSION There are no published scientific data to sufficiently support any specific treatment protocol, including the use of APC together with surgical debridement, for the management of MRONJ. Randomized controlled clinical trials of the use of APC are needed.

OBJECTIVES The main challenge in treating bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is the absence of an effective established treatment. We aimed to compare different potentially preventive treatments for BRONJ after dental extractions in zoledronic acid (ZA)-treated animals. We studied the local application of different combinations of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) with or without previous stimulation with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-six male Wistar rats were treated with ZA for 9 weeks. Dental extractions were performed in the eighth week, and the animals were divided into 4 groups. In group 1 (n = 14), alveolar coverage with mucoperiosteal flap was performed. In group 2 (n = 14), PRP was applied over the sockets and covered with the flap. In group 3 (n = 15), allogeneic ASCs with PRP were applied and covered with the flap. In group 4 (n = 13), animals were treated with ASCs cultured with BMP-2, PRP, and flap coverage. Histologic, fluorescence, and radiologic studies of the maxillae were performed. RESULTS ASC-treated animals showed lower frequency of osteonecrosis (14% vs 50%, p = 0.007) and greater bone turnover (p = 0.024) and osteoclast count (p = 0.045) than those not receiving the ASC treatment. CONCLUSIONS In this high-risk model, ASC-based treatments seem to prevent BRONJ more effectively than mucosal flap with or without PRP. The combination of ASCs and PRP appears to be synergistic, and the addition of BMP-2 could further improve the results.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is an adverse drug reaction consisting of progressive bone destruction in the maxillofacial region of patients under current or previous treatment with a bisphosphonate. Autologous platelet concentrates (APC) demonstrated to enhance bone and soft tissue healing in oral surgery procedures. The present systematic review aimed at evaluating if APC may improve treatment and prevention of BRONJ in patients under bisphosphonate therapy. METHODS MEDLINE, Scopus and Cochrane databases were searched using terms like bisphosphonates, osteonecrosis, BRONJ, platelet concentrate, PRP, PRF, PRGF. No language, publication date and study design limitation was set. A hand search of the bibliographies of identified articles was also performed. The primary outcome was recurrence/onset of BRONJ after oral surgery procedures. RESULTS Eighteen studies were included, reporting on 362 patients undergoing oral surgery in combination with APC. The adjunct of APC in BRONJ treatment significantly reduced osteonecrosis recurrence with respect to control. APC was associated with a lower BRONJ incidence after tooth extraction, though not significant. Heterogeneity was found regarding bisphosphonate type, clinical indication, treatment duration, triggering factors, study design, follow-up duration, type of APC, outcomes adopted to evaluate treatment success. CONCLUSION Though the results of this review must be cautiously interpreted, due to the low evidence level of the studies included, and the limited sample size, they are suggestive of possible benefits of APC when associated with surgical procedures for treatment or prevention of BRONJ. To confirm such indication, prospective comparative studies with a large sample size are urgently needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) clinically and radiographically when combined with bovine derived hydroxyapatite (HA) bone grafting materials and resorbable collagen membranes for the treatment of intra-bony defects frequently seen at the distal aspect of mandibular second molars following the surgical extraction of fully impacted mandibular wisdom teeth. STUDY DESIGN Eighteen patients were scheduled for post-operative visits at 1, 3 and 6 months post-operatively, probing depths were measured and digital panoramic radiographs were taken. RESULTS There were no significant differences on probing depths among two groups. Radiographic assessment also showed no significant difference among groups at 1st and 6th month intervals, while 3 months post-operatively the amount of radiographic density at the PRP side was significantly higher. CONCLUSION Combined use of PRP and bovine-derived HA graft materials for the treatment of intra-bony defects might be an appropriate approach when the main goal is providing earlier bone regeneration.

Abstract
Our aim was to assess the feasibility of using leucocyte-rich and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) for the treatment of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) in a single group study. After treatment with L-PRF, the response of each patient was recorded 1 month and 4 months postoperatively. Further assessments were made of the site, stage, concentration of c-terminal crosslinked telopepide of type 1 collagen, and actinomycosis. Among the total of 34 patients, 26 (77%) showed complete resolution, 6 (18%) had delayed resolution, and 2 (6%) showed no resolution. There was a significant association between the response to treatment and the stage of BRONJ (p=0.002) but no other significant associations were detected. This study has shown that it is feasible to use L-PRF for the treatment of BRONJ, but the effectiveness cannot be judged with this study design. Randomised prospective trials are needed to confirm this.

Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has recently become the focus of intensive interest and discussion, in part because of the expanding understanding of platelet function. Anucleate platelets within PRP release a myriad of growth factors and cytokines while contributing to plasma coagulation and fibrin development; the latter acts as vehicle for the local delivery. The biological effects of PRP are largely attributed to the platelet secretome and plasma signaling proteins. Clinical data suggest that PRPs may exploit different regenerative mechanisms under diverse disease conditions, including hemostasis, inflammation, angiogenesis and the synthesis of extracellular matrix. The success of PRP therapies depends on current tissue healing research and the translation of this knowledge into clinical developments.

Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe and compare the evolution of recurrent bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) in patients treated with plasma rich in growth factors or teriparatide.
Material and Methods: Two different types of treatments were applied in patients diagnosed of recurrent BRONJ in a referral hospital for 1.100.000 inhabitants. In the group A, plasma rich in growth factors was applied during the surgery. In the group B, the treatment consisted in the subcutaneous administration of teriparatide. All the cases of BRONJ should meet the following conditions: recurrent BRONJ, impossibility of surgery in stage 3 Ruggiero classification and absence of diagnosed neoplastic disease. Clinical and radiographic evolution of the patients from both groups was observed.
Results: Nine patients were included, 5 in group A and 4 in group B. All the patients were women on oral bis-phosphonate therapy for primary osteoporosis (5 patients) or osteoporosis-related to the use of corticosteroids (4 patients). Alendronate was the most common oral bisphosphonate associated with BRONJ in our study (four patients in group A and two in group B). The mean age was 72,8 years in the group A and 73,5 years in the group B. All the patients from group A showed a complete resolution of their BRONJ. Only one patient in the group B showed the same evolution.
Conclusions: In our series, the plasma rich in growth factors showed better results than the teriparatide in the treatment of recurrent BRONJ.
Key words:Osteonecrosis, oral bisphosphonate, treatment, teriparatide, plasma rich in growth factors.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are a class of synthetic drugs commonly used to treat bone metastasis and various bone diseases that cause osseous fragility (such as osteoporosis). Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a common complication in patients who received BPs, especially intravenously. Recently, osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) caused by chemotherapeutic not belonging to BPs drug class has been reported. For this reason, it has been proposed recently to rename BRONJ in antiresorptive agents related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ARONJ), to include a wider spectrum of drugs that may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw. The most debated topic about ARONJ/BRONJ is therapy. The most adequate procedure is far from being standardized and prevention seems to play a pivotal role. In our study, we considered 72 patients with BRONJ with nonsurgical therapy, surgical therapy, and surgical therapy with platelet rich plasma (PRP) gel to evaluate its therapeutic effect in promoting ONJ wounds healing. Good results showed by PRP in improving wound healing give away to case-control randomized studies that could give definitive evidence of its effectiveness.

Abstract
Background: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) is a well-known challenging entity warranting management. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) plays an important role in bone biology by enhancing bone repair and regeneration. Objectives: The aim of this animal study was to evaluate the effects of PRP on zoledronic acid-induced BRONJ. Materials and Methods: Seven rats were given 0.04 mg Zoledronic acid intravenously once a week for five weeks. Two weeks later, the animals underwent extraction of their first lower molars, bilaterally. After clinical confirmation of the osteonecrosis, PRP was injected randomly into one of the extraction sockets of each rat. Three weeks later, all rats were sacrificed in order to obtain histological sections. The analysis of epithelialization was performed by McNamar’s test, and the analysis of osteogenesis and angiogenesis was performed by the Wilcoxon Sign Rank test. P value was set at 0.05. Results: We found no significant differences between the two groups regarding the amount of epithelialization, angiogenesis or sequestrum formation (P > 0.05), but a significant difference was seen between the two groups regarding the amount of existing vital bone (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates positive results (preservation or regeneration of bone) using PRP in treatment of BRONJ. Although PRP may enhance osseous regeneration, long-term follow-ups are required to confirm its benefits.
