Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is a serious disease occurring in patients with cancer and osteoporosis, who are undergoing treatment with antiresorptive agents (ARAs) such as bisphosphonate (BP) or denosumab, an antibody targeting receptor activator of NF-κB ligand. Recently, stem cell-based therapy has been shown to be effective in preventing the development of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. However, studies on denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (DRONJ) remain limited. Here, the efficacy of treatment with dental pulp stem cell conditioned media (DPSC-CM) in preventing DRONJ in a murine model was evaluated. Local administration of DPSC-CM into the extraction socket of a mouse with DRONJ decreased the number of empty osteocyte lacunae and the prevalence of ONJ. In tissues surrounding the extraction sockets in the DPSC-CM-treated group, the expression of inflammatory cytokines was attenuated and that of osteogenesis-related molecules was enhanced compared to that in the control group. Further, the expression of Wnt signaling molecules, which had been suppressed, was improved. These findings collectively suggest that DPSC-CM prevents ONJ development in a murine DRONJ model.

The Risk of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw in Children: Guidance for Antiresorptive Use in Pediatric Patients. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024:S0278-2391(24)00540-8. [PMID: 38950582 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2024.06.162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiresorptive targeted cancer therapies, such as denosumab and bisphosphonates, are used in adults, but their application in pediatric cancer is more recent. Side effects such as osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) observed in adults have curtailed use of these medications in the pediatric population. PURPOSE This study assesses the frequency of ONJ, other side effects, and the indications for use of denosumab versus bisphosphonates in pediatric subjects. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE A retrospective cohort study of pediatric subjects who underwent bisphosphonate or denosumab therapy at our institution from 2007-2023 was conducted. Subjects aged ≥ 18 years at therapy initiation were excluded. INDEPENDENT VARIABLE The independent variable was antiresorptive therapy divided into 2 groups, treatment with intravenous bisphosphonates or denosumab. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLE(S) Primary outcomes were development of bisphosphonate-related and denosumab-related ONJ. Secondary outcomes included additional side effects. COVARIATES ONJ risk factors, subject demographics, indications for use, timing, duration, and cumulative dose of antiresorptive therapy were abstracted. ANALYSES Univariate and bivariate statistics were computed to describe the sample and measure associations between antiresorptive therapy and outcomes. P values < .05 conferred statistical significance. RESULTS The sample was composed of 178 subjects with a mean age of 11.7 ± 6.1 years. There were 14 (7.9%) and 164 (92.1%) subjects treated with denosumab and bisphosphonate therapies, respectively. There were 0 cases of ONJ across all subjects. The most common indication for treatment was adjuvant targeted therapy for aggressive tumors and malignancy (39.3%) followed by osteoporosis (14.6%). Subjects treated with denosumab had higher frequencies of hypercalcemia and severe bone pain than subjects treated with bisphosphonates, 28.6% versus 1.2% (P < .001) and 14.3% versus 0.00% (P < .001), respectively. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE While invasive dental procedures are ideally performed before antiresorptive treatment, our data suggest that bisphosphonates may be used safely in the pediatric population with low concern for ONJ. Our data also demonstrated bisphosphonates may have a more tolerable side effect profile than denosumab. If the perceived benefits are similar, we recommend using bisphosphonates as first-line therapy in children while reserving denosumab for refractory cases. Future studies will help determine long-term side effects and differences in efficacies of these medications.

Abstract
To investigate de effect of PAb gel on the bone tissue of rats submitted to Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ). Initially, 54 animals were submitted to BRONJ model by Zoledronic Acid (ZA) (0.1 mg/kg 3x/wk for 9 wk, ip), followed by the 1st upper left molar extraction at the 8th wk. After tooth removal, the animals were divided into 3 groups, ZA that received placebo gel or PAb gel that received 1% PAb gel, inside the dental alveolus. The control Group (CONTROL) received 0.1 mg/kg of 0.9% saline and then placebo gel. Three weeks after tooth extraction, the animals were euthanized, and maxillae were colleted for macroscopic, radiographic, histological and Raman spectomery assays. Additionally, GSK3b, beta-catenin, and Runx2 mRNA expressions were determined. Blood samples were collected for the analysis of Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP) levels. PAb gel improved mucosal healing, increased the number of viable osteocytes, while it reduced the number of empty lacunae, as well as the amount of bone sequestration. Furthermore, PAb gel positively influenced the number and functionality of osteoblasts by stimulating Wnt signaling, thereby inducing bone remodeling. Additionally, PAb gel contributed to improved bone quality, as evidenced by an increase in bone mineral content, a decrease in bone solubility, and an enhancement in the quality of collagen, particularly type I collagen. PAb gel mitigated bone necrosis by stimulating of bone remodeling through Wnt signaling and concurrently improved bone quality. PAb gel emerges as a promising pharmacological tool for aiding in BRONJ therapy or potentially preventing the development of BRONJ.

Abstract
This study compiles the main hypotheses involved in the etiopathogenesis of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). A narrative review of the literature was performed. The etiopathogenesis of MRONJ is multifactorial and not fully understood. The main hypothesis considers the disturbance of bone turnover caused by anti-resorptive drugs. Bisphosphonates and denosumab inhibit osteoclast activity through different action mechanisms, accumulating bone microfracture. Other hypotheses also consider oral infection and inflammation, the antiangiogenic effect and soft tissue toxicity of bisphosphonates, and the inhibition of lymphangiogenesis. Knowledge of the current theories for MRONJ is necessary to define future studies and protocols to minimize the incidence of this severe condition.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a potentially intractable disease with no definitive pathophysiology and no treatment and prevention strategies. This study aimed to investigate whether time-selective depletion of macrophages worsens BRONJ-like lesions in mice. A murine model of high-prevalence BRONJ-like lesions in combination with zoledronate/chemotherapeutic drug administration and tooth extraction was created according to the methods of our previous studies. Daily intra-oral submucosal administration of clodronate-loaded liposomes, which temporarily depletes systemic macrophages, was performed immediately after tooth extraction. Spleens, femora, tibiae, and maxillae were dissected 2 weeks after extraction to evaluate BRONJ-like lesions and systemic conditions by micro-computed tomography analysis, histomorphometric and immunofluorescent analyses, and serum chemistry with ELISA. Depletion of macrophages significantly decreased the numbers of local and systemic macrophages and osteoclasts on the bone surface, which markedly worsened osseous healing, with increased necrotic bone and empty lacunae in the existing alveolar bone and newly formed bone in the extraction sockets, and soft tissue healing, with decreased collagen production and increased infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells. Interestingly, the depletion of macrophages significantly shifted macrophage polarization to M1 macrophages through an increase in F4/80+CD38+ M1 macrophages and a decrease in F4/80+CD163+ M2 macrophages, with decreases in the total number of F4/80+ macrophages. These data demonstrated that severe inhibition of osteoclasts in bone tissue and polarization shifting of macrophages in soft tissue are essential factors associated with BRONJ.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the association between endodontic treatment failure and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in a cohort of oncologic patients in therapy with antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were selected as affected by MRONJ in absence of the common local risk factors (oral surgical procedures or ill-fitting dentures) but showing failure of previous endodontic treatment performed at least 6 months before the starting of antiresorptive/antiangiogenic therapies. Jaw lesions were all surgically treated and patients underwent a strict clinical and radiological follow-up. RESULTS Among 18 patients, who developed 18 MRONJ, the only detectable local risk factor was the presence of teeth with failed endodontic treatment (more precisely, root canal underfilling in eight cases, root canal overfilling in two cases, root perforation in three cases, root fracture in five cases). All patients completely healed after surgical procedure and no recurrence was observed. CONCLUSIONS Endodontic treatment failure should be considered a local risk factor for MRONJ development in oncologic patients. For such reason, it is mandatory to carefully evaluate them prior than the beginning of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs administration.

Abstract
In recent decades, the dreaded adverse effect of bisphosphonates, osteonecrosis of the jaw, has been widely reported and described in detail. Osteonecrosis of the jaw consists of the destruction of part of the maxilla as a consequence of these antiresorptive drugs. In recent years, new drugs that can also cause osteonecrosis of the jaw (e.g., some monoclonal antibodies or antiangiogenic drugs) have come on the market. For this reason, the term "bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw" has been replaced with "medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). This review aims to describe the radiologic characteristics of MRONJ that, although nonspecific, radiologists need to recognize in the appropriate clinical context.

Abstract
MRONJ (Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw) is a condition observed in a subset of cancer patients who have undergone treatment with zoledronic acid in order to either prevent or treat bone metastases. The primary aim of this research was to establish the importance of risk factors in the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in cancer patients receiving zoledronic acid therapy for bone metastases. The present study is an observational retrospective investigation conducted at two university centers, namely, Craiova and Constanța, and included cancer patients treated with zoledronic acid. The medical records of the patients were obtained over a four-year timeframe spanning from June 2018 to June 2022. The data analysis was carried out between January 2021 and October 2022. Patients were treated for cancer, bone metastases, and MRONJ according to the international guidelines. The research investigated a cohort of 174 cancer patients (109 females and 65 males) aged between 22 and 84 years (with a mean age 64.65 ± 10.72 years) seeking treatment at oncology clinics situated in Craiova and Constanța. The study conducted a binomial logistic regression to analyze ten predictor variables, namely, gender, age, smoking status, treatment duration, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, presence of diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, and hypertension (HT). The results of the analysis revealed that only five of the ten predictor variables were statistically significant for MRONJ occurrence: duration of treatment (p < 0.005), chemotherapy (p = 0.007), and hypertension (p = 0.002) as risk factors, and endocrine therapy (p = 0.001) and obesity (p = 0.024) as protective factors.

Coropciuc R, Coopman R, Garip M, Gielen E, Politis C, Van den Wyngaert T, Beuselinck B. Risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw after dental extractions in patients receiving antiresorptive agents - A retrospective study of 240 patients. Bone 2023; 170:116722. [PMID: 36858337 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2023.116722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023]
Abstract
This study investigated the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw after dental extractions in patients receiving antiresorptive agents for osteoporosis or bone metastases. 240 patients with a median drug exposure of 43 months were retrospectively studied. The incidence of MRONJ after dental extraction in the osteoporosis cohort was 2.7 % per person-year (95 % CI 1.6-4.6 %) (n = 13/126), and for the bone metastases cohort 26.4 % per person-year (95 % CI 20.4-34.2 %) (n = 58/114). 92 % of MRONJ cases were stage 1. Dental infection as the reason for extraction increased the osteonecrosis risk in the osteoporosis (OR 22.77; 95 % CI 2.85-181.62; p = 0.003) and bone metastases cohorts (OR 2.72; 95 % CI 1.28-5.81; p = 0.010). Using leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin reduced this risk by 84 % (p = 0.003), as did antibiotics use by 86-93 % (p = 0.013). Within the bone metastases cohort, an interval since last administration of at least 3 months reduced risk of MRONJ (OR 0.83; 95 % CI 0.72-0.97; p = 0.018). Mucosal healing occurred in 11/13 patients (84.6 %; 95 % CI 54.5-98.1 %) with osteoporosis and 31/58 patients (53.4 %; 95 % CI 40.0-66.7 %) with bone metastases. In conclusion, though the MRONJ risk in this selected population taking antiresorptive agents and presenting to the Oral Maxillofacial Surgery clinic for a dental extraction is considerable and higher in those with dental infections, preventive measures such as antibiotics and use of LRPF membranes may significantly reduce that risk.

Zoledronate/Anti-VEGF Neutralizing Antibody Combination Administration Increases Osteal Macrophages in a Murine Model of MRONJ Stage 0-like Lesions. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12051914. [PMID: 36902701 PMCID: PMC10004236 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12051914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The pathophysiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, and immunopathology of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) Stage 0 remain unclear, although 50% of MRONJ Stage 0 cases could progress to higher stages. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of zoledronate (Zol) and anti-vascular endothelial cell growth factor A (VEGFA) neutralizing antibody (Vab) administration on polarization shifting of macrophage subsets in tooth extraction sockets by creating a murine model of MRONJ Stage 0-like lesions. Eight-week-old, female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: Zol, Vab, Zol/Vab combination, and vehicle control (VC). Subcutaneous Zol and intraperitoneal Vab administration were performed for 5 weeks with extraction of both maxillary first molars 3 weeks after drug administration. Euthanasia was conducted 2 weeks after tooth extraction. Maxillae, tibiae, femora, tongues, and sera were collected. Structural, histological, immunohistochemical, and biochemical analyses were comprehensively performed. Tooth extraction sites appeared to be completely healed in all groups. However, osseous healing and soft tissue healing of tooth extraction sites were quite different. The Zol/Vab combination significantly induced abnormal epithelial healing, and delayed connective tissue healing due to decreased rete ridge length and thickness of the stratum granulosum and due to decreased collagen production, respectively. Moreover, Zol/Vab significantly increased necrotic bone area with increased numbers of empty lacunae compared with Vab and VC. Most interestingly, Zol/Vab significantly increased the number of CD169+ osteal macrophages (osteomacs) in the bone marrow and decreased F4/80+ macrophages, with a slightly increased ratio of F4/80+CD38+ M1 macrophages compared to VC. These findings are the first to provide new evidence of the involvement of osteal macrophages in the immunopathology of MRONJ Stage 0-like lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the osseointegration of zirconia and titanium implants in the rat maxilla in specimens under systemic antiresorptive therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS After 4 weeks of systematic medication administration (either zoledronic acid or alendronic acid), 54 rats received one zirconia and one titanium implants that were immediately inserted in the rat maxilla after tooth extraction. Twelve weeks after implant placement, histopathological samples were evaluated for implant osteointegration parameters. RESULTS The bone-implant-contact (BIC) ratio revealed no significant inter-group or inter-material differences. The distance between the implant shoulder to the bone level was significantly greater around the titanium implants of the zoledronic acid group compared to the zirconia implants of the control group (p = 0.0005). On average, signs of new bone formation could be detected in all groups, although often without statistical differences. Signs of bone necrosis were only detected around the zirconia implants of the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS At the 3-month follow-up, no implant material was demonstrably better than the others in terms of osseointegration metrics under systemic antiresorptive therapy. Further studies are necessary to determine whether there are differences in the osseointegration behavior of the different materials.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess radiographic presentation of anatomical structures, bony changes and soft tissue calcifications on panoramic radiographs of oncologic patients under high dose antiresorptive drug therapy (ART) before exposure to dental extraction. METHODS Panoramic radiographs of 57 patients under ART, taken previously to tooth extraction, and 57 control patients were evaluated by two oral radiologists regarding bone pattern, anatomical structures visibility, estimation of cortical width, mandibular cortical index (MCI), and presence of soft tissue calcifications. Parameters were compared between ART and age- and gender-matched healthy control groups. Bone patterns were further assessed by regions with or without tooth extractions and according to uneventful healing or MRONJ development. All comparisons were made using chi-square test with significance level set at 5%. RESULTS Mandible and posterior maxilla presented more sclerotic bone patterns in patients under ART, regardless of tooth extraction and MRONJ development status (p < 0.05). Heterogeneous bone pattern was identified in two regions that both were subsequently affected by MRONJ. Anatomical structure visibility and presence of soft tissue calcifications was not different among groups (p > 0.05). ART patients showed significantly more C0 (thickening) and C1 MCI (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Sclerotic bone pattern and thicker mandibular cortices may represent a consequence of ART rather than MRONJ specific findings. Prospective studies on larger patient samples radiographically followed-up during the ART treatment are advised, with specific attention to heterogenous trabecular bone pattern as a possible MRONJ predictor.

Debiève M, Castiaux L, van Maanen A, Magremanne M. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, a risk to reassess in osteoporotic patients. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2023; 124:101316. [PMID: 36273739 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2022.10.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of antiresorptive drugs concerns many medical specialties either in relation to their prescription for osteoporosis or cancer, or in relation to the treatment of their side effects. In the literature, less than 10% of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw are related to patients treated for osteoporosis, while 90% are found in patients treated for cancer. Despite the increasing number of osteoporotic patients taking high doses of antiresorptive drugs, only few studies describe this topic. The main aim of this study was to highlight the occurrence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in osteoporotic patients compared to cancer patients. The second aim was to highlight risk factors in the two groups, to try to understand the high number of osteoporotic patients in our population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted between December 2004 and March 2021 to identify all cases of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in our department with emphasis on the osteoporotic population. Demographic, systemic and local risk factors were collected as well as the type, dose and duration of the anti-resorptive drugs treatment. Evolution and follow-up were also recorded. RESULTS One hundred sixty five patients presented with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, of whom 67 (40,6%) were osteoporotic. Seventeen (25,4%) patients were males and 50 females (74,6%). Risk factors were tobacco consumption (28,4%), anemia (20,9%), alcohol consumption (19,4%). Use of corticoids or anticoagulant/antithrombotic therapy was related in 20,9% and 16,4%, respectively. The mean age at MRONJ diagnosis was 74,4 (50-98). The mean follow up time was 23,7 months (1-110). CONCLUSION Unlike the literature where medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in osteoporotic patients represents less than 10%, the rate in our series was much higher and represents 40% of the patients. This highlights the importance of a complete dental examination before and during antiresorptive drugs treatment, even in the case of osteoporotic patients.

Evaluation of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) in Terms of Staging and Treatment Strategies by Dental Students at Different Educational Levels. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59020252. [PMID: 36837455 PMCID: PMC9962432 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59020252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Background: The role of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) as a dento-maxillo-facial pathology is becoming increasingly important due to its growing prevalence. The success of preventive and therapeutic measures relies mainly on the dentist's ability to correctly diagnose the disease. Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate the skills of dental students of different educational levels in choosing the correct stage, diagnostics, and treatment option for MRONJ based on clinical and radiographic imaging (panoramic radiograph, CBCT). The study was designed as a cross-sectional cohort study. Twenty dental students were asked to complete a questionnaire in their third and fifth year of studies in which they had to correctly stage the disease, choose the radiological diagnostics and recommend the treatment. The control group contained experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Results: With an overall performance of 59% (third year: 145.2/248 points; fifth year: 145.3/248 points), no statistically significant difference between the educational levels could be observed. The classification based on CBCT imaging was significantly more often correct compared to panoramic radiographs (p < 0.001). Conclusions: This study highlights students' lack of knowledge in staging, diagnostics, and treatment of MRONJ, even though the CBCT positively affected decision-making. No significant increase in knowledge could be confirmed through clinical education. This study highlights the need for students to catch up on MRONJ diagnostics and treatment planning. Further expansion of teaching in this disease's context and X-ray diagnostics is needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the current quality and utility of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) issued for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). STUDY DESIGN We performed a systematic literature search of guidelines for MRONJ diagnosis, staging, prevention, or management. An appraisal of guidelines was completed using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) instrument. Scaled domain scores were calculated for each domain. Key recommendations were abstracted from guidelines distinguished as "high" quality. RESULTS Six CPGs were identified from systematic review. Four of 6 (66.7%) guidelines were published within the last 2 years. Each guideline discussed management of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic therapy-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw. The highest-scoring domain was domain 1: "Scope and purpose," with an average score of 85.0% (range: 76.4%-100.0%). The lowest domain score was in domain 5: "Applicability," with an average score of 41.7% (range: 22.9%-92.7%). Only 2 guidelines (33.3%) met the quality threshold of > 60% in 5 or more AGREE II domains, distinguishing them as "high"-quality guidelines. The average kappa statistic calculated across domains was 0.77, suggesting substantial interrater correlation in the CPG appraisal process. CONCLUSIONS Despite the increasing recognition of MRONJ as a debilitating consequence of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic therapy, clinical guideline recommendations may be lacking in overall quality and clinical utility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is difficult to treat, therefore, prevention would be the ideal clinical approach. This study evaluated the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), mediated by butyl toluidine blue (BuTB) in the prevention of MRONJ-like lesions after tooth extraction in rats. METHODS Twenty-eight senescent female rats were distributed in groups: VEH and VEH-aPDT, treated with vehicle, ZOL and ZOL-aPDT, treated with 100 µg/Kg of zoledronate, both treatments every three days over seven weeks. After three weeks from the commencement of treatment, the mandibular first molar was extracted. For the VEH and ZOL groups, no local treatment was performed, while with the VEH-aPDT and ZOL-aPDT groups, photodynamic treatment was carried out at 0, 2, and 4 days after extraction. For aPDT, 500μl of BuTB solution was deposited on the dental extraction site (0.5 mg/ml; 60 s), followed by irradiation with low-level laser (InGaAIP; 660 nm; 35 mW; 74.2 J/cm²; 60 s). After 28 postoperative days, euthanasia was performed. The hemimandibles were processed to: (1) histological analysis of tissue repair; (2) histometric analysis of the percentage of newly formed bone tissue (PNFBT) and percentage of non-vital bone tissue (PNVBT); (3) immunohistochemical analysis for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). RESULTS The ZOL and ZOL-aPDT groups showed less TRAP-positive cells when compared with VEH and VEH-aPDT. The ZOL group demonstrated great compromise in the tissue repair process, consistent with MRONJ-like lesions. VEH, VEH-aPDT and ZOL-aPDT presented a favorable tissue repair process. PNFBT in the ZOL group was lower than in the VEH, VEH-aPDT and ZOL-aPDT groups, whereas PNVBT in the ZOL group was higher than in the VEH, VEH-aPDT and ZOL-aPDT groups. CONCLUSION aPDT mediated by BuTB prevented the occurrence of MRONJ-like lesions after tooth extraction in rats.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate in an oncological population the association risk of antiangiogenic (AA) agents to antiresorptive (AR) agents on the incidence and the severity of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective study, we reviewed the medical records and clinical variables of 59 consecutive oncologic patients who developed MRONJ. For all patients, we retrieved the following variables: age, gender, alcohol and tobacco use, type of cancer, use of corticosteroids for >3 months, history of diabetes, MRONJ staging, combination of AR and AA agents, dental history (surgery, prosthesis) or spontaneous, site of MRONJ, delay between AR and AA first intake, and MRONJ development. Patients were divided into two groups according to drugs therapy they underwent: group 1 (G1) including patients treated with AR agents alone and group 2 (G2) including patients receiving antiresorptive-antiangiogenic drugs (AR+AA). The degree and the therapeutical success were defined as primary outcomes and the number, the localization, and the delay in onset of the lesions as secondary outcomes. In order to identify predictive factors of osteonecrosis-free interval time, univariate and multivariate Cox regression was performed. Statistical tests were carried out using the IBM® SPSS® Statistics software. All reported P-values are two-tailed and were considered to be significant when less than 0.05. RESULTS Among the 47 patients who received AR agent alone (group 1), the mean treatment duration before diagnosis of MRONJ was 39.2 months. In the second group (n = 12), patients developed MRONJ with a comparable mean time of 55 months (P = 0.16). According to the staging of MRONJ at the time of diagnosis, no significant difference (P = 0.736) was observed between the two groups. Moreover, the treatment applied was not statistically different in both the groups and was successful in 36.17% of the patients in group 1 and 58.33% of the patients in group 2. No statistically difference was reported in both the groups (P = 0.16). After statistical analysis, no significant difference in terms of MRONJ localization (P = 0.13) was observed. Finally, the incidence of spontaneous MRONJ was comparable in both the groups. Statistical analysis revealed that total time of treatment was the only factor associated with poor osteonecrosis-free interval time (hazard ratio 0.99; P = 0.001). Interestingly, the combination of an AA and AR agent was not a significant predictor factor of the interval time before the diagnosis of osteonecrosis. Additionally, corticosteroid use, diabetes mellitus, and dental consultation before treatment were not statistically related to poorer osteonecrosis-free interval time rates. CONCLUSION In our preliminary study, neither the mean treatment time duration before the diagnosis of MRONJ nor the dose delivered was different in both the groups (AR vs. AR+AA). Moreover, no significant difference was observed between both the groups regarding the localization and the staging of MRONJ at the time of diagnosis. Interestingly, our results demonstrated that the risk of spontaneous MRONJ is statistically comparable in the AR and AR-AA groups. Additionally, the addition of an AA agent did not influence the treatment applied in the two groups of patients.

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.

[PMID: 36141982 PMCID: PMC9517310 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191811709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) represents an adverse side effect of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications. It is associated with impaired quality of life, oral health, and oral function and can be classified into various stages. The purpose of this prospective clinical study is to evaluate the impact of stages I and II MRONJ on oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and related parameters. Patients' OHRQoL, satisfaction with life, oral discomfort, and oral health were assessed using the German version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-G49), visual analog scales (VAS), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) at baseline (T0), 10 days (T1), and 3 months after treatment (T2) in 36 patients. Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, two-way mixed ANOVAs, and follow-up Mann-Whitney U tests. The impact of treatment effects on the original seven OHIP domain structures and the recently introduced four-dimensional OHIP structure were evaluated using linear regression analysis. Thirty-six patients received surgical MRONJ treatment. Before treatment, patients' perceived OHRQoL, oral discomfort, oral health, and satisfaction with life were negatively affected by MRONJ. Surgical treatment significantly improved OHRQoL and related parameters (all p ≤ 0.012). This improvement was greater in patients with higher impairment at T0. OHRQoL and oral restrictions were still impaired after treatment in patients who needed prosthetic treatment. The four-dimensional structure revealed valuable information beyond the standard seven OHIP domains. Increased awareness of MRONJ risks and an interdisciplinary treatment approach for MRONJ patients are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pathophysiology of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is still unclear and disease development is associated with adverse reaction of bisphosphonates and denosumab, and Actinomyces spp. as well. In this study we evaluated the abundance of Actinomyces spp. in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy compared to healthy controls. METHODS Oropharyngeal samples were collected from treatment naive early-stage breast cancer patients, who were scheduled for standard of care therapy (eight samples throughout chemotherapy, one prior to radiotherapy and one after a year of start), as well as from healthy controls at matched timepoints. We quantified Actinomyces spp. in the samples with a highly sensitive and specific qPCR. RESULTS Twenty-one patients and 16 healthy subjects were enrolled. 48% of patients suffered from ER-positive/PR-positive or -negative/HER2-negative disease, 38% were HER2-positive and 14% were triple-negative. Comparison of Actinomyces spp. loads in cancer patients and healthy controls did not reveal significant difference. Fluctuations on bacterial quantity was observed in both groups over time. Tumor receptor status or different chemotherapy schemes of patients were not correlated with a particular pattern on abundance of Actinomyces spp. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that Actinomyces spp. are not the initiative factor in MRONJ development. These bacteria are not altered in abundance during chemotherapy, but they behave opportunistic when there is a bone disruption in the oropharynx in the first place caused by antiresorptive drugs or dental trauma and proliferate in their new niche. Thus, Actinomyces spp. play a latter role in MRONJ development, rather than a primary causative one.

Abstract
Objective This web-based survey, as a tool of teledentistry, is aimed at assessing the level of knowledge, attitudes, and awareness regarding MRONJ among dental professionals in Northern Cyprus. Methods An online self-administered questionnaire about MRONJ was sent to all dentists in Northern Cyprus through Google Forms. The first part of the questionnaire consists of demographic and professional information, and the second part included questions about knowledge and awareness questions about MRONJ. The SPSS software was used for statistical data analysis. A Chi-square test was performed to compare between the groups. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. Results A total of 112 dentists participated in this survey. The participants showed an insufficient level of knowledge regarding MRONJ, as only 56.6% of the participants stated that they had general knowledge about MRONJ. Regarding the practical questions of the survey, the participants showed poor knowledge about implant and tooth extraction procedures while a patient is using antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drugs, particularly the usage of oral antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drugs for less than 3 years. Participants showed adequate knowledge in terms of usage area of medications and administration of them. Conclusion Teledentistry can be used as a supportive tool for dentists in diagnosing MRONJ. Similar to previous studies, the knowledge and awareness of MRONJ of dentists in Northern Cyprus were found to be inadequate. There is a significant need to provide more professional information as part of undergraduate programs so that the next generation of dentists can practice more confidently.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a major problem that can occur in people taking certain medications such bisphosphonates and denosumab. It can be used to treat osteoporosis or cancer. Bisphosphonate exposure, dental diseases and procedures, age, sex, anatomical factors, medical issues, and hereditary factors are all variables that enhance the risk of MRONJ. Even though MRONJ and antiresorptive medications have a close association, the pathophysiology of MRONJ is unknown. Careful dental preparation and oral hygiene instructions significantly minimize the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). It is ideal to start antiresorptive treatment after the completion of required dental treatment; it is not contraindicated and carries low risk in patients who are on oral antiresorptive medications for less than three years. Drug holidays are one proposed solution to address MRONJ. However, there is still inadequate evidence to support their effectiveness. The objectives of this literature review are to recognize the main diagnostic principles and risk factors and to review the pathophysiology, protective procedures and treatment modalities related to MRONJ. The following topics are covered in the review: epidemiology, diagnostic criteria, risk factors, pathogenesis and mechanism, MRONJ staging and symptoms, clinical and radiographic findings, treatment strategies, prevention and drug holiday.

[PMID: 34884630 PMCID: PMC8657653 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222312823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is related to impaired bone healing conditions in the maxillomandibular bone region as a complication of bisphosphonate intake. Although there are several hypotheses for the onset of MRONJ symptoms, one of the possible causes is the inhibition of bone turnover and blood supply leading to bone necrosis. The optimal treatment strategy for MRONJ has not been established either. BMP-2, a member of the TGF-β superfamily, is well known for regulating bone remodeling and homeostasis prenatally and postnatally. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to evaluate whether cyclophosphamide/zoledronate (CY/ZA) induces necrosis of the bone surrounding the tooth extraction socket, and to examine the therapeutic potential of BMP-2 in combination with the hard osteoinductive biomaterial, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), in the prevention and treatment of alveolar bone loss around the tooth extraction socket in MRONJ-like mice models. First, CY/ZA was intraperitoneally administered for three weeks, and alveolar bone necrosis was evaluated before and after tooth extraction. Next, the effect of BMP-2/β-TCP was investigated in both MRONJ-like prevention and treatment models. In the prevention model, CY/ZA was continuously administered for four weeks after BMP-2/β-TCP transplantation. In the treatment model, CY/ZA administration was suspended after transplantation of BMP-2/β-TCP. The results showed that CY/ZA induced a significant decrease in the number of empty lacunae, a sign of bone necrosis, in the alveolar bone around the tooth extraction socket after tooth extraction. Histological analysis showed a significant decrease in the necrotic alveolar bone around tooth extraction sockets in the BMP-2/β-TCP transplantation group compared to the non-transplanted control group in both MRONJ-like prevention and treatment models. However, bone mineral density, determined by micro-CT analysis, was significantly higher in the BMP-2/β-TCP transplanted group than in the control group in the prevention model only. These results clarified that alveolar bone necrosis around tooth extraction sockets can be induced after surgical intervention under CY/ZA administration. In addition, transplantation of BMP-2/β-TCP reduced the necrotic alveolar bone around the tooth extraction socket. Therefore, a combination of BMP-2/β-TCP could be an alternative approach for both prevention and treatment of MRONJ-like symptoms.

Analysis of Factors Associated with the Postoperative Healing of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw in Patients with Osteoporosis. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10163651. [PMID: 34441947 PMCID: PMC8397037 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10163651] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical treatment is considered the best approach by many researchers for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). While postoperative outcomes are mainly favorable, wound healing still fails in some cases. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the factors affecting the postoperative healing of MRONJ. METHODS This study involved 400 osteoporosis patients who received surgical treatment from January 2009 to January 2018 in Kyungpook National University Hospital. The patient, drug, and clinical factors were collected as investigation variables. The obtained data were statistically analyzed to identify relationships between the factors and healing aspect. RESULTS Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the route of drug administration, bone exposure, types of surgical management, and wound management had a significant influence (p < 0.05) on the healing outcome. Sequestrectomy with primary closure had a more positive effect on favorable healing. In the multivariate logistic regression test, the effect of wound management alone was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION In patients with osteoporosis, the factors such as intravenously administered drugs, fistulas that were probed to the bone, and surgical management with curettage were associated with a lower rate of postoperative complete healing of MRONJ, whereas primary closure of wounds led, possibly, to good healing outcomes. The strengths of the study include its relatively large sample size and that its results can hopefully aid in the clinical decisions for practitioners and future research studies for researchers.

The Treatment of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ): A Systematic Review with a Pooled Analysis of Only Surgery versus Combined Protocols. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18168432. [PMID: 34444181 PMCID: PMC8392050 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18168432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
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
PURPOSE This retrospective study was aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes in patients with osteonecrosis of the jaw who were receiving oral versus intravenous (IV) bisphosphonate (BP). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study enrolled subjects who had been diagnosed with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) during the period from July 2010 to June 2014. Information regarding the following demographic and clinical characteristics was collected: demographic data, administration route and type of BP, duration of BP medication, primary disease, number of involved sites, location of the lesion, number of surgeries, outcome of treatments, and laboratory test. All the patients were divided into oral and IV BP groups; and the between-group differences were compared. RESULTS Total 278 patients were divided into two groups as per the route of BP administration. The proportion of oral BP-related MRONJ group were more dominant over IV BP group (oral BP, n = 251; IV BP, n = 27). In the IV BP group, the average dosing duration (31.4 months) was significantly shorter than that in the oral BP group (53.1 months) (P < 0.001). The average number of involved sites in the oral BP group (1.21 ± 0.48) was smaller than that in the IV BP group (1.63 ± 0.84) (P < 0.001). The average number of surgeries was higher in the IV BP group (1.65 ± 0.95) as compared to that in the oral BP group (0.98 ± 0.73) (P < 0.001). Outcome after the surgery for MRONJ after IV BP was poor than oral BP group. CONCLUSION IV administration of BP causes greater inhibition of bone remodeling and could lead more severe inflammation. Therefore, even if the duration of IV administration of BP is shorter than that of oral BP, the extent of the lesion could be more extensive. Therefore, the result suggests that the MRONJ after IV BP for cancer patients needs to be considered as different characteristics to oral BP group for osteoporosis patents.

Abstract
Abstract
Bisphosphonates remain the most used and most effective drugs for the treatment of systemic bone diseases followed by bone resorption. Although their side effects in a form of alveolar bone osteonecrosis have been reported, bisphosphonates have a potential of being used in the treatment of the most common oral diseases followed by alveolar bone resorption such as peri-implantitis, periapical lesions, and periodontitis. The aim of this article was to review the most recent research regarding the use of bisphosphonates in the field of dentistry. The results of studies indicate that bisphosphonate use in the treatment of peri-implantitis, periapical lesions, and periodontitis can reduce alveolar bone resorption and contribute to bone preservation. However, the most beneficial way of their application in the treatment of these oral diseases remain to be determined.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse reaction to high-dose antiresorptive medication (AR) in patients with cancer. A temporary discontinuation of AR (drug holiday) has been suggested to potentially reduce the risk of MRONJ after oral surgery. However, no consensus exists. The aim of the present feasibility trial was to evaluate the impact of a high-dose AR drug holiday in connection with surgical tooth extraction on the development of MRONJ and patient-reported health state. STUDY DESIGN Patients with cancer receiving high-dose AR were randomized to a drug holiday from 1 month before to 3 months after surgical tooth extraction or drug continuation. Follow-up was scheduled at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Patient health state was evaluated using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. RESULTS The study included 23 patients (11 men, 12 women). AR included denosumab (n = 13) and bisphosphonate (n = 10) with median AR durations of 9 and 17.5 months, respectively. Four denosumab patients from the drug holiday group developed MRONJ. Differences in EQ-5D-5L between the treatment groups were found in favor of drug continuation. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that a high-dose AR drug holiday does not prevent development of MRONJ after surgical tooth extraction and that patient-reported health state declines during a drug holiday compared with drug continuation.

Abstract
Introduction: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) corresponds to an adverse effect of the use of drugs such as bisphosphonates and denosumab. This condition is often associated with pain, infection, purulent secretion, paraesthesia, tooth mobility and halitosis, decreasing the patient's quality of life. The management of MRONJ tends to be conservative, through the guidance of oral hygiene, antibiotic therapy and mouthwashes. However, the use of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has shown promise in the treatment of these injuries. The purpose of this article is to report a case of MRONJ treatment associated with aPDT. Case Report: A 75-year-old patient, with a history of breast cancer and use of intravenous Zoledronic Acid, presented with bilateral MRONJ lesions in tuberosity on the right and left sides. Treatment was conservatively instituted with the use of aPDT as an adjuvant. After 12 aPDT sessions, complete regression of the lesion was observed. However, after two weeks, the presence of a new lesion was noted, this time in the anterior region of the maxilla. The same protocol previously established was followed and after two aPDT sessions, the patient returned with complete lesion regression. Conclusion: The use of aPDT may represent an important adjuvant within a set of clinical protocols in the treatment of MRONJ.

A Comparison of the Clinical and Radiological Extent of Denosumab (Xgeva ®) Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: A Retrospective Study. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10112390. [PMID: 34071481 PMCID: PMC8197814 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10112390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe side effect of antiresorptive medication. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw and to compare the clinical and radiological extent of osteonecrosis. A retrospective study of patients who received Xgeva® at the Institut de Cancérologie de Lorraine (ICL) was performed. Patients for whom clinical and radiological (CBCT) data were available were divided into two groups: “exposed” for patients with bone exposure and “fistula” when only a fistula through which the bone could be probed was observed. The difference between clinical and radiological extent was assessed. The p-value was set at 0.05, and a total of 246 patients were included. The cumulative incidence of osteonecrosis was 0.9% at 6 months, 7% at 12 months, and 15% from 24 months. The clinical extent of MRONJ was significantly less than their radiological extent: in the “exposed” group, 17 areas (45%) were less extensive clinically than radiologically (p < 0.001) and respectively 6 (67%) for the “fistula” group (p < 0.031). It would seem that a CBCT is essential to know the real extent of MRONJ. Thus, it would seem interesting to systematically perform a CBCT during the diagnosis of MRONJ, exploring the entire affected dental arch.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tooth and root extractions represent trigger factors for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The best healing modality for postextraction sockets is still debated. The aim of the study was to estimate the incidence of MRONJ after extractions whose sockets were left to heal by secondary intention. METHODS A retrospective case series study was performed at the Department of Odontostomatological and Maxillofacial Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome. Only patients who underwent nonsurgical extractions, healed by secondary intention, were included in the study. The following parameters were considered: age, sex, pathologies for which bisphosphonates or other drugs related to MRONJ were prescribed, any local or systemic risk factors, type of drug used, route of administration, number of extractions performed, and number of sessions required to complete the extraction program. The main outcome variable was the occurrence of MRONJ. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS statistical software. RESULTS Two hundred twenty-one patients were treated from 2007 to 2020 with 639 tooth/root extractions. All patients were treated under antibiotic prophylaxis and with anesthesia without vasoconstrictors. No cases of MRONJ occurred. The mean age of patients was 68.02 ± 11.17. Most of the study sample was represented by women (201 = 90.95%) undergoing treatment for osteometabolic pathologies, most frequently postmenopausal osteoporosis. Alendronate was the most frequently prescribed drug, taken mainly orally. Most patients had local and/or systemic risk factors. Each patient had from 1 to 17 tooth/root extractions (mean = 2.87 ± 2.59) during 1 to 4 sessions (mean = 1.41 ± 0.64). Extractions mainly involved single-rooted teeth/roots, equally distributed between the maxilla and mandible. CONCLUSIONS Secondary intention healing after nonsurgical tooth extraction does not seem to predispose to MRONJ. It can be advisable to perform extractions under antibiotic prophylaxis using anesthetics without vasoconstrictors and chlorhexidine mouth rinses in the 7 following days.

Abstract
Background Multiple myeloma (MM) constitutes approximately 10% of hematological malignancies. Bisphosphonates have established themselves in solid organ metastasis and multiple myeloma lytic bone lesions by inhibiting osteoclast activation. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) emerges as an important complication. Investigating host-based factors, and developing personal risk factors gain importance in the development mechanism of MRONJ. We aimed to reveal the different genotype polymorphisms, and clinical effects of eNOS in patients with a diagnosis of MRONJ in MM patients. Methods Medical records and blood samples were collected from 60 MRONJ patients with MM and 60 healthy controls. Inclusion criteria was having an exposed maxillofacial bone for more than eight weeks, a history of bisphosphonates, and no history of radiation therapy for the jaws. eNOS G894T and intron 4 VNTR were calculated by polymerase chain reaction and/or restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results eNOS G894T and VNTR genotypes and alleles were compared statistically with the healthy control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups. In comparison between G894T and clinical parameters, aphthous stomatitis was more common in TT genotype, while DMFT > 3 was more common in TG-GG genotype (p = 0.035, 0.023). Conclusions eNOS induces osteogenesis in bone metabolism, with its regulatory effects on bone remodeling and also NO induced angiogenesis takes place indirectly with its protective effect on endothelial functions. We see that these polymorphisms affecting the entire process of bone remodeling and angiogenesis, especially mucosal damage, which is the triggering factor of MRONJ pathology, have been revealed in the MM patient group. Considering the MRONJ initiating factors, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of our study results. It should be seen as an important step for new studies towards MRONJ and its treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of zoledronic acid (ZA) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) attached to different surfaces. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of three groups were evaluated in this study: sandblasting and acid etching (SLA) + HUVECs; mechanically polished (MP) + HUVECs; and plastic cell culture plates + HUVECs. Scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, surface roughness and water contact angle were tested for titanium surface characterisation. ZA was added at different concentrations (0, 1, 10, 50 and 100 μM). Cell adhesion, proliferation, viability, apoptosis and gene expression were evaluated. RESULTS Mechanically polished and SLA surfaces showed negative effects on cell adhesion and proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis with 100 μM ZA (p < .05). The highest expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and angiopoietin-1 was found on SLA surfaces (p < .01). The lowest expression of platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 and ICAM-1 was found on MP surfaces (p < .05). A significant decrease in von Willebrand factor was detected on MP and SLA surfaces (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Zoledronic acid has an anti-angiogenic effect on HUVECs attached to titanium implants, while the SLA surface might stimulate HUVECs to express angiogenic and adhesive factor genes despite ZA treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of interleukin-20 (IL-20) on the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. METHODS The pre-osteoblast line MC3T3-E1 was treated with different concentrations of IL-20 (0, 2, 20 and 100 ng/mL), and the cell viability was detected by the CCK8 assay. To assess the influence of IL-20 on osteogenic differentiation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and Alizarin red staining were performed at predetermined times. The expression levels of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), Osterix (Osx), glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and β-catenin were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting analyses. 5 nmol/L lithium chloride (LiCl) was used as GSK-3β inhibitor. RESULTS IL-20 promoted cell proliferation but decreased ALP activity and mineralization. Moreover, IL-20 downregulated the expression of RUNX2, Osx and β-catenin but upregulated the level of GSK-3β. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that IL-20 could inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells via the GSK3β/β-catenin signalling pathway.

Antiresorptive agent-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in prostate cancer patients with bone metastasis treated with bone-modifying agents. J Bone Miner Metab 2021; 39:295-301.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence rate and risk factors of antiresorptive agent-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ARONJ) in prostate cancer patients with bone metastasis are not clear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients' records of prostate cancer patients with bone metastasis who were treated with zoledronic acid or denosumab between 1/Dec/2008 and 31/Mar/2019. ARONJ-free survival rate was analyzed with Kaplan-Meier analysis, and risk factors for ARONJ were analyzed with Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS We identified 124 and 67 patients treated with zoledronic acid and denosumab, respectively. Seventy-six patients were hormone sensitive, and 115 patients were castration resistant when they started bone-modifying agents (BMA). Twenty-eight patients developed ARONJ during the observation period (median: 23 months, range 1-130 months). Their number of doses of BMA ranged 3-69 (median: 21.5). The 2-year ARONJ-free survival rate was 91.1%, and the 5-year ARONJ-free survival rate was 72.5%. There was no significant difference in the incidence rate of ARONJ between zoledronic acid and denosumab. However, multivariate analysis revealed that use of denosumab (hazard ratio [HR] 3.67, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-13.31; p = 0.0484), serum calcium < 9.2 mg/dL (HR 3.16, 95% CI 1.10-9.13; p = 0.033)), and concomitant or prior use of chemotherapeutic agents (HR 4.71, 95% CI 1.51-14.71; p = 0.0076) were independent risk factors for the development of ARONJ. CONCLUSION Almost one-quarter of patients had a risk of developing ARONJ within 5 years after starting BMA. Low serum calcium, use of chemotherapeutic agents, and use of denosumab might contribute to the development of ARONJ.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is an adverse event associated with antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs. The use of these drugs in the treatment of cancer patients with bone metastasis is necessary and standardized in the literature. A multidisciplinary approach for the patient’s management is strongly recommended. Therefore, it should be necessary to integrate the path of these subjects with a dedicated dental screening in order to first assess the individual risk of developing a MRONJ, and then to plan dental treatments and oral hygiene sessions, and finally to schedule a follow-up to intercept and treat early osteonecrosis. The aim of this manuscript is to propose a new simple medical report to evaluate patients affected by metastatic bone cancer in order to reduce the risk of developing MRONJ.

Clin Oral Implants Res 2021; 32:437-447.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the association between dental implant therapy and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in osteoporotic patients and the relationship between tooth extraction, dental implantation, and ONJ. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study used the Customized Health Information Data from the National Health Insurance Corporation in South Korea. The study population included patients older than 70 years with a history of osteoporosis; the cases included patients who had undergone dental implant surgery between July 2014 and July 2016 with specific procedure codes. The case and control cohorts were stratified by tooth extraction because it was the strongest risk factor to consider in this study. Each group of patients was matched using the propensity score. To investigate the relationship between dental implants and ONJ, a Cox proportional hazard model was applied to socio-economic factors, comorbidities, and bisphosphonates (BPs). All analyses were conducted using SAS statistical software. RESULTS Based on the fully adjusted model, the propensity score-matched osteoporosis patients with dental implants had a 0.51 times hazard ratio of osteonecrosis. On the contrary, tooth extraction was associated with a higher risk of ONJ (HR = 5.89). The patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and those using BPs had a higher HR, respectively, 6.80 and 4.09 HR (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Dental implantation was not a risk factor and patients with implants show rather lower ratios. However, older osteoporotic Korean patients who had undergone tooth extraction had higher risks of ONJ. A significantly higher risk of ONJ was associated with RA and BPs as well.

Abstract
Antiresorptive agent-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ARONJ) is an adverse event induced by antiresorptive agents (ARAs). The purpose of this study was to evaluate variables, mainly surgery and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, associated with treatment outcomes in patients with a diagnosis of ARONJ at a single center. We enrolled consecutive patients who presented to our hospital for the management of stage 2 or 3 ARONJ between January 2003 and December 2019. The relationship between potentially predictive factors and outcome variables was examined using statistical analyses, along with a subgroup analysis based on disease stage. Of 252 patients included in this study, 206 had stage 2 ARONJ and 46 had stage 3 ARONJ. There were 119 patients with osteoporosis and 133 with malignant disease. In total, 139 patients were healed, and the healing rate of patients with stage 3 ARONJ was lower than that of patients with stage 2 ARONJ. With regard to the combination of surgery and HBO therapy, most patients underwent HBO before and after surgery. In the univariable analysis, surgery showed a therapeutic effect in both stage 2 and 3 ARONJ, whereas HBO showed a therapeutic effect in stage 2 ARONJ. In the multivariable analysis for stage 2 ARONJ, extensive surgery showed a stronger association with healing than conservative surgery, whereas ≥46 sessions of HBO therapy was less associated with healing than was non-HBO therapy. Our findings suggest that extensive surgery is highly effective against ARONJ regardless of disease stage if there is a sequestrum separation and systemic tolerance, whereas HBO therapy before and after surgical approach can be effective. Further studies are needed to identify treatment strategies for patients with treatment-refractory ARONJ who may be forced to undergo long-term HBO therapy with the expectation of sequestrum separation.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious side effect of bone-modifying agents and inhibits angiogenesis agents. Although the pathogenesis of MRONJ is not entirely clear, multiple factors may be involved in specific microenvironments. The TGF-β1 signalling pathway may have a key role in the development of MRONJ. According to the clinical stage, multiple variables should be considered when selecting the most appropriate treatment. Therefore, the prevention and management of treatment of MRONJ should be conducted in patient-centred multidisciplinary team collaborative networks with oncologists, dentists and dental specialists. This would comprise a closed responsibility treatment loop with all benefits directed to the patient. Thus, in the present review, we aimed to summarise the pathogenesis, risk factors, imaging features, clinical staging, therapeutic methods, prevention and treatment strategies associated with MRONJ, which may provide a reference that can inform preventive strategies and improve the quality of life for patients in the future.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a relatively infrequent but very well-known adverse effect of bisphosphonates. This rare complication of bisphosphonates is rarest with the use of certain drugs. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), particularly used in renal cell carcinoma or gastrointestinal tumors as a chemotherapeutic agent, can precipitate this particular medical condition of bone when it is associated with either radiation or bisphosphonates, though, monodrug therapy with TKIs rarely causes MRONJ. This article describes a rare case of necrosis of the jawbone in a patient with a myeloproliferative neoplasm who was receiving the TKI imatinib and had no history of bisphosphonate or radiation therapy to head and neck region.

Abstract
This systematic review analysed evidence relating to medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) associated with protein kinase inhibitors in antiresorptive naïve patients. A literature search of major biomedical databases was conducted in March 2020. Information extracted from relevant articles included bibliographic information, patient characteristics, MRONJ characteristics at diagnosis, management strategies and outcomes. Sixteen studies, representing data from 17 patients, were included for final analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to synthesis available data. Eleven protein kinase inhibitors were implicated, with a mean exposure of 13 months prior to MRONJ. Renal cell carcinoma was the primary diagnosis in 41.2% of patients. Patient symptoms, clinical features, radiographic findings and histological findings were consistent with those previously described in patients with MRONJ associated with antiresorptive medications. Overall, there was a 75% rate of cure, with a mean healing time of 17.2 weeks. Patients were treated surgically in 53.3% of the cases. Patients treated surgically achieved complete healing in 100% of cases, compared with 58% in those treated conservatively. Drug discontinuation was reported in 69.2% of patients. Patients who had the offending drug discontinued achieved complete healing in 75% of cases, compared with 50% in those who did not. Evidence relating to MRONJ associated with protein kinase inhibitors is of low quality. From the available data, there are notable differences relating to patient characteristics, treatment strategies and outcomes, between MRONJ associated with protein kinase inhibitors compared with antiresorptives. Higher quality evidence is required to support the findings of this review.
