Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe adverse illness linked to antiresorptive therapies (ART), for which there is no therapeutic gold standard. Many factors can influence MRONJ evolution such as cancer type, treatment, comorbidities, and accumulated dose of ART. The aim of this study was to determine the influencing factors of MRONJ treatments success. METHODS This retrospective study focused on patients treated for MRONJ in a French tertiary centre. Non-operative therapy was always applied, ART were suspended if appropriate, and surgery (MRONJ removal and musculo-mucosal flap reconstruction) was performed in the absence of contraindication. The evaluation criteria were bone and mucosal healing 3 months after surgery. RESULTS 81 MRONJ were included; medical treatment alone was administered to 26 % while the remaining 74 % received additional surgery. Therapeutic success reached 86.7 % (52/60) for surgery compared to 42.9 % (9/21) for medical treatment alone (p < 0.001). Age (OR=1.08, p = 0.014) and the absence of infection (OR=5.32, p = 0.042) were in favour of success, while medical treatment alone (OR=0.03, p < 0.001) was highly unfavourable. CONCLUSION MRONJ healing is influenced by age, non-infectious stages, and surgery. Additional surgery in MRONJ treatment should be advised if the health of the patient permits.

[PMID: 38671921 PMCID: PMC11047400 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13040474] [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: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteoporosis is a bone-debilitating disease, demonstrating a higher prevalence in post-menopausal women due to estrogen deprivation. One of the main mechanisms underlying menopause-related bone loss is oxidative stress. S-allylmercapto-N-acetylcysteine (ASSNAC) is a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activator and cysteine supplier, previously shown to have anti-oxidation protective effects in cultured cells and animal models. Here, we studied the therapeutic potential of ASSNAC with and without Alendronate in ovariectomized (OVX) female mice. The experimental outcome included (i) femur and L3 lumbar vertebra morphometry via Micro-Computed Tomography (μCT); (ii) bone remodeling (formation vs. resorption); and (iii) oxidative stress markers in bone marrow (BM) cells. Four weeks after OVX, there was a significant bone loss that remained evident after 8 weeks, as demonstrated via µCT in the femur (cortical and trabecular bone compartments) and vertebra (trabecular bone). ASSNAC at a dose of 50 mg/Kg/day prevented bone loss after the four-week treatment but had no significant effect after 8 weeks, while ASSNAC at a dose of 20 mg/Kg/day significantly protected against bone loss after 8 weeks of treatment. Alendronate prevented ovariectomy-induced bone loss, and combining it with ASSNAC further augmented this effect. OVX mice demonstrated high serum levels of both C-terminal cross-linked telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX) (bone resorption) and procollagen I N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) (bone formation) after 2 weeks, and these returned to control levels after 8 weeks. Alendronate, ASSNAC and their combination decreased CTX and increased P1NP. Alendronate induced oxidative stress as reflected by decreased glutathione and increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and combining it with ASSNAC partially attenuated these changes. These results portray the therapeutic potential of ASSNAC for the management of post-menopausal osteoporosis. Furthermore, ASSNAC ameliorates the Alendronate-associated oxidative stress, suggesting its potential to prevent Alendronate side effects as well as improve its bone-protective effect.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) poses a challenging form of osteomyelitis in patients undergoing antiresorptive therapies in contrast to conventional osteomyelitis. This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological features of MRONJ between patients receiving low-dose medications for osteoporosis and those receiving high-dose medications for oncologic purposes. The clinical, panoramic radiographic, and computed tomography data of 159 patients with MRONJ (osteoporotic group, n = 120; oncologic group, n = 39) who developed the condition after using antiresorptive medications for the management of osteoporosis or bone malignancy were analyzed. The osteoporotic group was older (75.8 vs. 60.4 years, p < 0.01) and had a longer duration of medication usage than the oncologic group (58.1 vs. 28.0 months, p < 0.01). Pus discharge and swelling were more common in the osteoporotic group (p < 0.05), whereas bone exposure was more frequent in the oncologic group (p < 0.01). The mandibular cortical index (MCI) in panoramic radiographs was higher in the osteoporotic group (p < 0.01). The mean sequestra size was larger in the oncologic group than in the osteoporotic group (15.3 vs. 10.6 mm, p < 0.05). The cured rate was significantly higher in the osteoporotic group (66.3% vs. 33.3%, p < 0.01). Oncologic MRONJ exhibited distinct clinical findings including rapid disease onset, fewer purulent signs, and lower cure rates than osteoporotic MRONJ. Radiological features such as sequestrum size on CT scan, and MCI values on panoramic radiographs, may aid in differentiating MRONJ in osteoporotic and oncologic patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Medication-related ear canal osteonecrosis (MRECO) is a growing concern linked to prolonged anti-resorptive medication use. Despite primary care providers being key prescribers of these medications, there is limited information about MRECO in primary care literature. This article presents a case of bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis of the external auditory canal (EAC), emphasizing the vital role of primary care providers in identifying this rare yet significant side effect of anti-resorptive medication. MAIN SYMPTOMS AND CLINICAL FINDINGS A 65-year-old female, on long-term alendronic acid for osteoporosis, presented to primary care with a 2-year history of left-sided ear blockage and itchiness. Despite prolonged topical treatment for ear wax, symptoms persisted, leading to an Otolaryngology referral. Microsuction revealed exposed bone in the left EAC. DIAGNOSES, INTERVENTIONS, AND OUTCOMES A computed tomography scan confirmed bony erosion of the left EAC, and in the absence of other osteonecrosis risk factors, bisphosphonate-induced osteonecrosis was diagnosed. Management involved bisphosphonate discontinuation, regular aural toilet, and topical treatment, achieving complete ear canal epithelialisation within 6 months. CONCLUSION MRECO, a rare complication of anti-resorptive therapy, is anticipated to rise with increasing antiresorptive medication use in the ageing population. Unexplained ear symptoms in those with a history of current or prior anti-resorptive therapy should raise clinical concern, prompting evaluation for exposed bone in the EAC. Raising awareness of MRECO among primary care providers is crucial for early diagnosis and timely management.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse reaction associated with antiresorptive drugs such as bisphosphonates and denosumab. When dealing with advanced and/or multiple MRONJ lesions undergoing surgical therapy, the extent of surgery is often a topic of discussion. The aim of this study was to identify the differences in bone density in and around the MRONJ lesion before and after surgical treatment to evaluate the needed surgical extend of the modelling osteotomy. In this retrospective study 26 patients with MRONJ lesions that were surgically treated in our department were observed. Length, width and bone density were measured in panoramic radiograph pre and postoperatively with the Imaging processing software Sidexis and ImageJ (Fiji). The necrotic area, the surrounding sclerotic area as well as the healthy contralateral side were observed. Measurements were performed by two independent observers. Pearson correlation was calculated to determine the interobserver variability. Bone density was significantly reduced in the necrotic bone area compared to the healthy unaffected contralateral reference side. The sclerotic bone area surrounding the necrosis showed increased bone density compared to the contralateral unaffected reference side. The density of the sclerotic bone area was increased in the previously affected MRONJ area in the postoperative panoramic radiograph. The pre and postoperative density showed no significant correlation to healing behaviour. The focus of the modelling osteotomy in surgical treatment of mature MRONJ lesions should be predominantly on the parts that appear necrotic and less dense in the panoramic radiograph as sclerotic areas might be an expression of bone reaction.

The trend of dental check-up and prevalence of dental complications following the use of bone modifying agents in patients with metastatic breast and prostate cancer: analysis of data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service. BMC Health Serv Res 2024; 24:412. [PMID: 38566103 PMCID: PMC10988945 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-024-10859-7] [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: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone-modifying agents (BMA) are key components in the management of cancer patients with bone metastasis. Despite their clinical benefits, the use of BMA is associated with dental adverse events (AEs) including medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). This study investigated the frequency of dental surveillance before BMA treatment and the prevalence of dental AEs including MRONJ, after BMA treatment in patients with bone metastasis from breast and prostate cancer using data from the national health insurance system. METHODS Data, including age, cancer diagnosis, administered BMA, and dental AEs during cancer treatment, of patients with bone metastasis from breast and prostate cancer who received at least one infusion of BMA between 2007 and 2019 were extracted from the Korean National Health Insurance Service (KNHIS) dataset. RESULTS Of the 15,357 patients who received BMA, 1,706 patients (11.1%) underwent dental check-ups before BMA treatment. The proportion of patients receiving dental check-up increased from 4.4% in 2007 to 16.7% in 2019. Referral to dentists for a dental check-up was more active in clinics/primary hospitals than general/tertiary hospitals, and medical doctors and urologists actively consulted to dentists than general surgeons, regardless of the patient's health insurance status. After BMA treatment, 508 patients (3.8%) developed dental AEs, including abscess (42.9%), acute periodontitis (29.7%), acute pericoronitis (14.9%), and MRONJ (12.5% of dental AEs cases, 0.5% of total BMA treated patients). CONCLUSIONS Considering the long treatment period in patients with metastatic cancer, coordination between dentists and oncologists is necessary to ensure appropriate dental management before the initiation of BMA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify local radiographic risk factors for Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (MRONJ) in osteoporotic patients treated with antiresorptive drugs (ARD) and undergoing tooth extraction. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients were included in this retrospective, longitudinal, case-control study, if having at least one administration of ARD, underwent tooth extraction(s), and had pre- and post-operative panoramic radiographs. Additionally, a matched control group was selected. Three calibrated, blinded, and independent observers assessed each tooth extraction site. Statistical analysis compared control against study group, and within the latter, sites MRONJ+ and MRONJ-. RESULTS In total, 120 patients (99 females/21 males) with 354 tooth extractions were included, from which nine patients (7.5%) and eleven tooth extraction sites (3.1%) developed MRONJ. When comparing control with study group, the latter showed significantly more thickened lamina dura, persistence of the alveolar socket, heterogeneous bone patterns, and sequestrum formation. In the study group, MRONJ developed significantly more in males (19%, p = 0.049), smokers (25%, p = 0.008), in the mandible (82%, p = 0.027), when identifying a radiolucent or sclerotic trabecular pattern (p = 0.004) or when extracting teeth with furcation involvement (p < 0.001), root remnants (p = 0.017), or unrestored caries lesions (p = 0.005). CONCLUSIONS Tooth extraction sites showing radiographic signs of chronic dental infection are prone to MRONJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a side effect in patients undergoing treatment with bone-modifying agents (BMA) for cancer or osteoporosis. Although most cases are treated by oral medicine specialists, some cases may present extraorally as a fistula in the skin or erythematous swelling localized to the jaw area, causing these patients to consult a primary care physician. This study examined the prevalence and clinical characteristics of extraoral manifestations of MRONJ in a large cohort to raise awareness among primary care physicians of this entity, enabling prompt diagnosis and treatment. METHODS Medical records were retrieved of patients diagnosed with MRONJ between 2003 and June 2020 in the Oral Medicine Unit of The Sheba Medical Center, Israel. Data relating to demographics, medical background, type of BMA, and clinical presentation were collected. RESULTS In total, 515 patients (378 women [73%] and 137 men [27%]; mean age: 65 years, range: 32-94 years) met the inclusion criteria, among whom 84 (16.5%) presented with extraoral manifestations of MRONJ. Of these 84 patients, 21 (24.7%) presented with extraoral fistulas. Extraoral manifestations were strongly correlated with MRONJ of the mandible (n = 67; P = .0006). CONCLUSIONS MRONJ is a significant side effect of BMA therapy. Although MRONJ mostly presents intraorally, some patients may initially present with extraoral manifestations of erythematous swelling or fistulas localized to the jaw area. Primary care physicians should consider MRONJ as a differential diagnosis in such patients.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), a severe side effect caused by antiresorptive antiangiogenic medication, particularly bisphosphonates (BPs), has become a challenging disease with serious and profound effects on the physical and mental health of patients. Although it occurs with high frequency and is harmful, the exact mechanism of MRONJ remains unknown, and systematic and targeted approaches are still lacking. Maxillofacial surgeons focus on the etiology of osteonecrosis in the mandible and maxilla as well as the appropriate oral interventions for high-risk patients. Adequate nursing care and pharmacotherapy management are also crucial. This review provides a current overview of the clinicopathologic feature and research of MRONJ caused by BPs, with an emphasis on the potential mechanisms and current therapy and prevention strategies of the disease. We are of the opinion that an in-depth comprehension of the mechanisms underlying MRONJ will facilitate the development of more precise and efficacious therapeutic approaches, resulting in enhanced clinical outcomes for patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the jawbone concentration of clindamycin (CLI) in patients with an osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). Patients with medication-related ONJ (MRONJ) and osteoradionecrosis (ORN) with an antibiotic treatment with CLI were included. Plasma, vital and necrotic bone samples were collected. Plasma and jawbone samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Patients with MRONJ exhibited a mean plasma CLI concentration of 9.6 μg/mL (SD ± 3.6 μg/mL) and mean concentrations of 2.3 μg/g CLI (SD ± 1.4 μg/g) and 2.1 μg/g CLI (SD ± 2.4 μg/g) in vital and necrotic bone samples, without statistical significance (p = 0.79). In patients with ORN, mean concentration in plasma was 12.0 μg/mL (SD ± 2.6 μg/mL), in vital bone 2.1 μg/g (SD ± 1.5 μg/g), and in necrotic bone 1.7 μg/g (SD ± 1.2 μg/g). Vital and necrotic bone concentrations did not differ significantly (p = 0.88). The results demonstrate that CLI concentrations are considerably lower than in plasma, but sufficient for most bacteria present in ONJ. Within the limitations of the study, it seems that CLI is a relevant alternative to other antibiotics in the treatment of ONJ because it reaches adequate concentrations in jawbone.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 82:332-340. [PMID: 38199239 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2024.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced stage osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) are challenging disease entities requiring multimodal therapy including surgical resection. However, risk factors associated with infection recurrence are poorly understood. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors associated with infection recurrence following resection of advanced stage ORN or MRONJ of the mandible. STUDY DESIGN, SETTING, SAMPLE This was a retrospective cohort study including patients who underwent segmental mandibulectomy for management of ORN or MRONJ between 2016 and 2021 at the authors' institution. Subjects who did not have margin viability data were excluded. PREDICTOR/EXPOSURE/INDEPENDENT VARIABLE The primary predictor variable was viability of resection margins on histopathologic analysis (viable or nonviable). Secondarily, other risk factors categorized as demographic (age, sex, race), medical (comorbidities), and perioperative (reconstructive modality, antibiotic duration, microbiological growth) were evaluated. MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLE The primary outcome variable was time to infection recurrence defined as time from surgical resection to clinical diagnosis of a fistula tract, abscess, or persistent inflammatory symptoms necessitating surgical intervention. COVARIATES Not applicable. ANALYSES Descriptive and bivariate statistics were used to identify associations between risk factors and time to infection recurrence. A significance level of P ≤ .05 was considered significant. RESULTS The cohort consisted of 57 subjects with a mean age of 63.3 ± 10.0 years (71.9% Male, 75.4% White) treated for ORN (47.4%) or MRONJ (52.6%). A total of 19/57 (33%) subjects developed a recurrence of infection with 1 and 2 year survival of 75.8 and 66.2%, respectively. Nonviable resection margins were associated with earlier time to infection recurrence (P ≤ .001, hazard ratio (HR) = 11.9, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 3.84 to 36.7) as was younger age (P = .005, HR = 0.921, 95% CI = 0.869 to 0.976) and atypical pathogen growth on culture (P = .002, HR = 8.58, 95% CI = 2.24 to 32.8). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Histopathologic margin viability was associated with earlier time to infection recurrence following resection of advanced stage ORN or MRONJ of the mandible. Additional studies are needed to identify interventions that may improve outcomes in this demographic.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tori and exostoses are considered risk factors for the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The aims of this study were to present the prevalence of MRONJ located at tori in the Copenhagen ONJ Cohort, evaluate the surgical treatment of MRONJ located at tori and explore trauma to tori as an additional risk factor in patients on antiresorptive medication. METHODS Data from a consecutive series of 506 patients with MRONJ (Copenhagen ONJ Cohort) were reviewed for the presence of tori and MRONJ located at tori. Demographic and medical data were analyzed, and healing outcomes and pain after the prophylactic removal of tori, surgical treatment of MRONJ located at tori, and conservative treatment of MRONJ located at tori were evaluated and compared using Fisher's exact test. RESULTS MRONJ located at tori was frequent and could be identified in 53% of the patients with tori, which accounts for a prevalence of 5.1% in the entire cohort. Of the 28 surgically treated patients, 27 (96.4%) healed uneventfully with no exposed bone after their first or second revision surgery. Fourteen (41.2%) patients with tori underwent therapeutic removal, eight (23.5%) underwent prophylactic removal, and six (17.6%) underwent both therapeutic and prophylactic removals. Two (33.3%) of the six conservatively treated patients healed spontaneously. Both treatment types resulted in a significant decrease in pain. CONCLUSION Prophylactic and therapeutic surgical removal of tori are reliable treatments and should be considered if a patient's general health allows surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was approved by the Regional Scientific Ethical Committee (H-6-2013-010) on November 20, 2013, and was retrospectively registered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates may cause serious adverse events, including osteonecrosis of the jaw. This article describes a case of successful application of radiofrequency thermocoagulation for pain caused by osteonecrosis of the jaw. CASE PRESENTATION An 86-year-old woman who had received alendronate sodium hydrate for osteoporosis was diagnosed with osteonecrosis of the right mandible after dental treatment. Despite repeated conservative and debridement treatments, the patient could not eat due to intractable pain; accordingly, her condition was debilitated. The patient was referred to our pain management clinic for radiofrequency thermocoagulation of the right mandibular nerve. Immediately after the procedure, her pain drastically improved and she could eat; moreover, the pain has not recurred for 3 years. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that minimally invasive radiofrequency thermocoagulation may have long-term effects in patients with chronic pain caused by osteonecrosis of the jaw that is refractory to conservative treatment.

Abstract
Bone health management for breast cancer spans the entire cycle of patient care, including the prevention and treatment of bone loss caused by early breast cancer treatment, the adjuvant application of bone-modifying agents to improve prognosis, and the diagnosis and treatment of advanced bone metastases. Making good bone health management means formulating appropriate treatment strategies and dealing with adverse drug reactions, and will help to improve patients' quality of life and survival rates. The Breast Cancer Expert Committee of the National Cancer Center for Quality Control organized relevant experts to conduct an in-depth discussion on the full-cycle management of breast cancer bone health based on evidence-based medicine, and put forward reasonable suggestions to guide clinicians to better deal with health issues in bone health clinics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To provide a critical update identifying the knowledge gaps and controversies in medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) within the Belgian healthcare context and outline opportunities for improvement and research in these areas. METHODS A literature review was performed to identify guidelines from international clinical societies in oncology or oral and maxillofacial surgery on diagnosing, preventing, and treating MRONJ. The recommendations were critically assessed in light of recent developments in the field and confronted with the clinical experience of experts. RESULTS Despite progress in the diagnostic criteria of MRONJ, the continued need for an 8-week timeout period should be reconsidered. Furthermore, 3D imaging techniques should be introduced to improve diagnosis and staging. The staging system remains ambiguous regarding Stage 0 MRONJ, and ongoing confusion exists regarding the term non-exposed MRONJ. The prevention of MRONJ should be tailored, considering the individual patient's risk of MRONJ, frailty, and life expectancy. More research seems needed into the efficacy and safety of drug holidays, considering the risks of rebound remodeling on fractures. With renewed interest in surgical and adjunct management techniques, adequately designed clinical studies are needed to help translate trial outcomes into universally applicable treatment guidelines taking into account individual patient characteristics. CONCLUSIONS Important knowledge gaps remain and hamper the development of clinical guidelines. Several controversies were identified where consensus is lacking, and further harmonization between stakeholders is necessary. Finally, the need for randomized controlled comparative clinical trials in MRONJ resonates harder than ever to identify the best treatment for individual patients.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to analyze the knowledge of dental surgeons concerning the pharmacological effects of bisphosphonates (BP) and their impact on the health of patients undergoing oral surgery treatment. Materials and methods A quantitative study was conducted with professionals in the Cariri region of Ceará, Brazil. The data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire to interview the dental surgeons who met the inclusion criteria. The data were analyzed by Chi-square and Fischer's Exact tests using the SPSS program version 22.0. Results The results indicated that most interviewed subjects have no experience with the dental treatment of individuals under treatment with bisphosphonates. When a sample of the medication was presented, a significant number of the participants (65.3%) did not recognize the drug. Among those who recognized it, 66.5% did not know how to treat bisphosphonate-using patients in the clinical routine. However, 95.1% of the professionals who recognized the need to discontinue these drugs admitted contacting the prescriber to establish the best dental conduct. Our results also showed that recently graduated professionals better understood the need to stop BP use before invasive treatment, although they did not know the protocol. Conclusion In conclusion, a better knowledge of the pharmacological effects of BP is crucial for conducting adequate anamnesis, requesting additional tests, and performing medical monitoring, which has a significant impact on the clinical practice of dental surgeons.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a most interesting, complex and "elusive" condition seen by the oral health care provider. It is plagued by controversy and although a wealth of research has created clinical treatment databases, there is no "gold standard" algorithm to be applied in a universal fashion. The purpose of this article is to explore several controversies associated with the etiology(s), staging, treatments, and long-term resolution of MRONJ in patients who are treated by the oral health care provider. Controversies for optimizing prevention, and disease control will also be discussed from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Abstract
Background Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious adverse drug reaction characterized by progressive bone destruction and necrosis of mandibular and/or maxillary jaw bone that occurs in patients undergoing treatments with antiresorptive drugs such as bisphosphonates or denosumab, antiangiogenic agents such as bevacizumab, or other kinds of monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab and ipilimumab, for different oncologic and nononcologic diseases. The aim of this study was to report a case of MRONJ in a patient affected by rheumatoid arthritis disease in treatment with adalimumab. Case Presentation. A 70-year-old female patient affected by rheumatoid arthritis (RA), who had been undergoing adalimumab (40 mg subcutaneous injection) every two weeks for 5 years, with no history of antiresorptive or antiangiogenic agent administration, came to our attention for intraoral necrotic bone exposures of the anterior mandible. After drug withdrawal and antibiotic cycles, the patient underwent surgical treatment with bone resection and debridement of necrotic tissues. After an observation period of 8 months, a complete healing without signs of recurrence was detected. Conclusions Based on this study, a correlation between adalimumab and MRONJ is possible. Therefore, we believe that an oral cavity examination should be done in every patients, before starting therapy with adalimumab, to possibly avoid MRONJ onset. Further studies are required to confirm the role of adalimumab in MRONJ.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw have been reported by dental surgeons to the pharmacovigilance center in Rennes, France, occurring among patients treated with palbociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor. Although this event was not expected with the drug, a safety signal was raised. Describing a local case series, the aim of our study was to identify specific patterns that might suggest a triggering role for these drugs, and to discuss pathophysiological hypotheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective case series of patients exposed to cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors between 2016 and 2020 with a diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the jaw at the Rennes Dental Care Center was analyzed. The descriptive analysis was conducted on patient demographics, breast cancer characteristics, osteonecrosis of the jaw, biological data, and exposure to cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors. RESULTS We identified eight cases, most of them at stages 0-1 (62.5%). Four patients were still exposed to palbociclib at the time of diagnosis and four had discontinued the treatment before the diagnosis. Chronological imputability could not be excluded given the drug's half-life and the variable intervals of dental monitoring from one patient to another. All patients had at least one dental osteonecrosis risk factor (including dental extraction, dentures, and denosumab exposure at the time of diagnosis). Neutropenia and mucositis were not systematically reported at the time of diagnosis. The anatomopathological characteristics were nonspecific. CONCLUSION We did not identify a specific pattern that could suggest a triggering role of palbociclib in the development of ONJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of oral diseases among Taiwanese prisoners has rarely been investigated. This study aimed to estimate the gender-specific prevalence of oral disease in a sample of Taiwanese prisoners. METHODS We included 83,048 participants from the National Health Insurance (NHI) Program. Outcomes were measured using the clinical version of the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9-CM). For prevalence, we provide absolute values and percentages. We also performed a χ2 test to assess sex and age group differences in the percentage of disease in the oral cavity, salivary glands, and jaw. RESULTS The prevalence rate of oral diseases was 25.90%, which was higher than that of the general population. The prevalence of oral diseases in female prisoners was higher than that in male prisoners (p < 0.001), and the prevalence of oral diseases in prisoners aged ≤ 40 was higher than that of prisoners aged > 40. Among all cases of diagnosed oral diseases, the top three diseases were dental hard tissue diseases (13.28%), other cellulitis and abscesses (9.79%), and pruritus and related conditions (2.88%), respectively. The prevalence of various oral diseases in female prisoners was significantly higher than that in male prisoners. CONCLUSION Oral disease is common among Taiwanese prisoners. Female prisoners had a higher prevalence of oral, salivary gland, and jaw diseases than male prisoners. Therefore, early prevention and appropriate treatment are required and also a need for gender-specific oral disease products given the differences in the prevalence of oral disease among male and female prisoners.

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.

Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1225919. [PMID: 38027014 PMCID: PMC10654638 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1225919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: To investigate adverse events (AEs) associated with denosumab (Dmab) and zoledronic acid (ZA), compare their association strengths, and explore potential applications to provide clinical reference. Methods: We collected data from FAERS from January 2004 to November 2022 and mined AE signals for Dmab and ZA using ROR values. We compared signal intensity for same AEs and investigated off-label use. We also examined their AEs in adjuvant therapy for breast and prostate cancer. Results: 154,735 reports of primary suspect drugs were analyzed in the FAERS database (Dmab: 117,857; ZA: 36,878). Dmab and ZA had 333 and 1,379 AE signals, with 189 overlaps. The AEs of Dmab included death (ROR:3.478), osteonecrosis of jaw (ROR:53.025), back pain (ROR:2.432), tooth disorder (ROR:16.18), bone pain (ROR:6.523). For ZA, the AEs included osteonecrosis (ROR:104.866), death (ROR: 3.645), pain (ROR:3.963), osteonecrosis of jaw (ROR: 91.744), tooth extraction (ROR: 142.143). Among overlap signals, Dmab showed higher strength in exostosis of the jaw (ROR: 182.66 vs. 5.769), atypical fractures (ROR: 55.589 vs. 9.123), and atypical femur fractures (ROR:49.824 vs. 4.968). And ZA exhibited stronger associations in abscess jaw (ROR: 84.119 vs. 11.12), gingival ulceration (ROR: 74.125 vs. 4.827), increased bone formation (ROR: 69.344 vs. 3.218). Additionally, we identified 528 off-label uses for Dmab and 206 for ZA, with Dmab mainly used in prostate cancer (1.04%), breast cancer (1.03%), and arthritis (0.42%), while ZA in breast cancer (3.21%), prostate cancer (2.48%), and neoplasm malignant (0.52%). For Dmab in breast cancer treatment, AEs included death (11.6%), disease progression (3.3%), and neutropenia (2.7%), while for ZA included death (19.8%), emotional disorder (12.9%), osteomyelitis (11.7%). For prostate cancer treatment, Dmab`s AEs were death (8.9%), prostate cancer metastatic (1.6%), renal impairment (1.7%), while ZA`s included death (34.4%), general physical health deterioration (19.9%), and hemoglobin decreased (18.9%). Conclusion: Our analysis of FAERS database provided postmarketing surveillance data and revealed different strengths of reported AE signals between Dmab and ZA in some of their common AEs. It's also worth noting that both drugs have potential off-label applications, which could introduce new AEs. This highlights the necessity for safety monitoring when using Dmab and ZA off-label.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a serious debilitating disease resulting from long-term treatment with Antiresorptive drugs such as Bisphosphonates or Denosumab, which significantly affects patients' quality of life. A 43-year-old female patient with stage 4 breast cancer and treated with Zoledronic Acid for bone metastases was referred to the Department of Oral Medicine at the Faculty of Dentistry, Damascus University. The main complaint was pain in the right maxilla. Intraoral examination showed an exposure of necrotic bone in the right maxillary region with presence of purulent exudate. The treatment plan was discussed with the patient. Treatment included resection of all necrotic bone and application of Advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) clots and membranes. Follow-up and outcome were conducted by clinical measures to assess healing and recurrence (6-month follow-up). Topical treatment with A-PRF demonstrated a reduction in pain and resulted in complete wound healing within 30 days. A-PRF stimulates the release of growth factors and chemotaxis involved in tissue repair mechanisms. This method seemed to be effective in the treatment of MRONJ.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This manuscript aims to provide a comprehensive review of the current knowledge in the pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention, and other relevant clinical and forensic aspects of a potentially severe complication known as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) while synthesizing state-of-the-art information on bisphosphonates and introducing a possible differential diagnosis. DESIGN An extensive search was conducted in PubMed (U.S. National Library of Medicine) without a time or language constraint, focusing on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, site specificity, signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, prevention, and forensic aspects of MRONJ. All types of original articles, reviews, case reports, short communications, opinion articles, guidelines, and letters to editors were considered to produce a complete review on this subject. RESULTS MRONJ prevention relies on a multidisciplinary approach and is critical since truly effective treatments are lacking. This therapeutic challenge is partly due to uncertainty regarding this condition's pathophysiology. Differential diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the jaws associated with krokodil abuse, one of the most dangerous and homemade psychoactive illicit substances, should be considered. CONCLUSIONS Further research into the etiology and site specificity of MRONJ is encouraged, aiming to develop novel treatment prospects. Indeed, comprehending this would allow for increased efficacy and therapeutic options while emphasizing the importance of prevention. In addition, we advocate for greater consensus among the various societies regarding MRONJ's treatment and management.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe adverse event, most commonly associated with dental extractions as a predisposing event. However, it is possible that established MRONJ may be existent before dental extractions and is mistaken for odontogenic disease. The provision of a dental extraction will lead to clinically obvious MRONJ with the cause being attributed to tooth removal. We present a case series of ten patients with pre-existing necrosis of the jaw before dental extraction.Retrospective data were collected on ten patients who presented to the oral surgery department between 2017-2021, diagnosed with pre-existing necrosis. A diagnosis of pre-existing MRONJ was made based on the identification of necrotic bone clinically, either with plain film or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Patients with pre-existing necrosis presented with a range of symptoms, including pain, swelling and tooth mobility. Plain film imaging revealed a variety of findings, including periapical radiolucency, periodontal ligament widening and bone loss. CBCT imaging confirmed a necrotic pattern of bone destruction confirming a diagnosis of pre-existing MRONJ.There is increasing evidence to suggest that local inflammation can be a predisposing factor for MRONJ development as opposed to surgical intervention. This case series provides early insight into the presentation of pre-existing MRONJ.

Abstract
This work investigated whether the anti-resorptive drugs (ARDs) zoledronic acid (Zol) and denosumab (Dmab) affect differently the levels of circulating immune cell subsets, possibly predicting the risk of developing medication-related ONJ (MRONJ) during the first 18 months of treatment. Blood samples were collected from 10 bone metastatic breast cancer patients receiving cyclin inhibitors at 0, 6, 12, and 18 months from the beginning of Dmab or Zol treatment. Eight breast cancer patients already diagnosed with MRONJ and treated with cyclin inhibitors and ARDs were in the control group. PBMCs were isolated; the trend of circulating immune subsets during the ARD treatment was monitored, and 12 pro-inflammatory cytokines were analyzed in sera using flow cytometry. In Dmab-treated patients, activated T cells were stable or increased, as were the levels of IL-12, TNF-α, GM-CSF, IL-5, and IL-10, sustaining them. In Zol-treated patients, CD8+T cells decreased, and the level of IFN-γ was undetectable. γδT cells were not altered in Dmab-treated patients, while they dramatically decreased in Zol-treated patients. In the MRONJ control group, Zol-ONJ patients showed a reduction in activated T cells and γδT cells compared to Dmab-ONJ patients. Dmab was less immunosuppressive than Zol, not affecting γδT cells and increasing activated T cells.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of teriparatide (TPD) administration on medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) before tooth extraction due to periodontal lesions in bilaterally ovariectomized female rats treated with zoledronic acid. Thirty skeletally mature Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control (CONT, n = 10), zoledronic acid (ZA, n = 10), and zoledronic acid and teriparatide (ZA-TPD, n = 10). The rats were sacrificed 8 weeks after tooth extraction. Micro-computed tomography analysis of the tibia showed that bone mineral density was highest in the CONT, followed by that in the ZA and ZA-TPD groups (CONT/ZA, p = 0.009; CONT/ZA-TPD, p < 0.001; ZA/ZA-TPD, p < 0.001). In the trabecular bone analysis of the extraction site, significant differences in specific bone surface (CONT/ZA, p = 0.010; CONT/ZA-TPD, p = 0.007; ZA/ZA-TPD, p = 0.002) and trabecular thickness (CONT/ZA-TPD, p = 0.002; ZA/ZA-TPD, p = 0.002) were observed. Histological analyses of the extraction sites revealed characteristic MRONJ lesions in the ZA group. Osteonecrosis, inflammatory cells, and sequestrum were less frequently observed in the ZA-TPD group than in the ZA group. In conclusion, TPD administration before tooth extraction helped reduce the occurrence of MRONJ in rats treated with zoledronic acid, confirming its preventative effects.

Abstract
The involvement of maxillary sinuses in patients taking bone-related medications has not been comprehensively considered in the literature, mostly dental. Considering the fact that paranasal sinuses are often captured in dental radiographs, it is incumbent upon dental practitioners to recognize abnormal presentations in the paranasal sinuses to ensure the appropriate management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). We present a case of a giant cell tumor (GCT) with atypical chronic sinusitis manifestation leading to MRONJ.

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
Background and Objectives: This study aimed to investigate osteoporosis-related treatments and the overall anticancer drug treatment tendencies, with a focus on selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and aromatase inhibitors (AIs), in Korean patients with breast cancer from 2010 to 2019. Materials and Methods: Data were obtained from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. Patients with breast cancer (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision code: C50) as a principal diagnosis at least once from 2010 to 2019 were included. Those with osteoporosis (M80, M81, or M82) as a principal or sub-diagnosis or those who received osteoporosis treatment at least once were categorized as the osteoporosis-related treatment group, and others as the non-osteoporosis-related treatment group. The trends of drug prescriptions and treatment costs in patient groups were evaluated using descriptive statistics. Results: Among all included patients, those aged 45-54 years (40.20%) without osteoporosis treatment and those aged 55-64 years (34.11%) with osteoporosis treatment were the most common. SERM was the most commonly prescribed anticancer drug (29.20%) in the entire patient group, followed by AIs (20.83%). Patients without osteoporosis treatment had the highest prescription rate of SERM (31.48%), and those with osteoporosis treatment had a higher prescription rate of AIs (34.28%). Additionally, SERM and AIs were prescribed most frequently before and after the age of 55 years, respectively, regardless of the presence of treatment. Conclusions: This study found that osteoporosis-related treatment and patient age were associated with anticancer drug prescriptions. The present findings would help clinicians and researchers in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
This joint report from the Italian Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (SIOT) and the Italian Society of Periodontology and Implantology (SIdP) aims for a consensus around the scientific rationale and clinical strategy for the management of osteoporotic patients affected by periodontitis who are undergoing anti-resorptive (AR) therapy to manage the risk of the occurrence of a medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). Osteoporosis and periodontitis are chronic diseases with a high prevalence in aging patients, and they share some of the same pathogenetic mechanisms based upon inflammation. Available evidence shows the relationship among osteoporosis, AR agents, periodontitis and implant therapy in relation to the incidence of MRONJ. Uncontrolled periodontitis may lead to tooth loss and to the need to replace teeth with dental implants. Tooth extraction and surgical dental procedures are recognized as the main risk factors for developing MRONJ in individuals taking AR therapy for osteometabolic conditions. Although the incidence of MRONJ in osteometabolic patients taking AR therapy may be as low as 0.9%, the increasing prevalence of osteoporosis and the high prevalence of periodontitis suggest that this potential complication should not be overlooked. Good clinical practice (GCP) guidelines are proposed that aim at a more integrated approach (prescriber, dentist, periodontist and dental hygienist) in the management of periodontitis patients undergoing AR therapy for osteometabolic disorders to reduce the risk of MRONJ. Dental professional and prescribers should educate patients regarding the potential risk associated with the long-term use of AR therapy and oral health behavior.

Abstract
The oral involvement in the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation is well described in the literature. The goal of the dental treatment and management of the oral lesions related to the HSCT is to reduce the harm caused by preexisting oral infection or even the worsening of oral acute/chronic GVHD and late effects. The aim of this guideline was to discuss the dental management of patients subjected to HSCT, considering three phases of the HSCT: pre-HSCT, acute phase, and late phase. The literature published from 2010 to 2020 was reviewed in order to identify dental interventions in this patient population. The selected papers were divided into three groups: pre-HSCT, acute and late, and were reviewed by the SBTMO Dental Committee's members. When necessary, an expertise opinion was considered for better translating the guideline recommendations to our population dental characteristics. This manuscript focused on the pre-HSCT dental management. The objective of the pre-HSCT dental management is to identify possible dental situations that can worsening during the acute phase after the HSCT. Each guideline recommendations were made considering the Dentistry Specialties. The clinical consensus on dental management prior to HSCT provides professional health caregivers with clinical setting-specific information to help with the management of dental problems in patients to be subjected to HSCT.

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.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59051000.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Antiresorptive drugs are widely used in osteology and oncology. An important adverse effect of these drugs is medication-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). There is scientific uncertainty about the underlying pathomechanism of MRONJ. A promising theory suspects infectious stimuli and local acidification with adverse effects on osteoclastic activity as crucial steps of MRONJ etiology. Clinical evidence showing a direct association between MRONJ and oral infections, such as periodontitis, without preceding surgical interventions is limited. Large animal models investigating the relationship between periodontitis and MRONJ have not been implemented. It is unclear whether the presence of infectious processes without surgical manipulation can trigger MRONJ. The following research question was formulated: is there a link between chronic oral infectious processes (periodontitis) and the occurrence of MRONJ in the absence of oral surgical procedures? Materials and Methods: A minipig large animal model for bisphosphonate-related ONJ (BRONJ) using 16 Göttingen minipigs divided into 2 groups (intervention/control) was designed and implemented. The intervention group included animals receiving i.v. bisphosphonates (zoledronate, n = 8, 0.05 mg/kg/week: ZOL group). The control group received no antiresorptive drug (n = 8: NON-ZOL group). Periodontitis lesions were induced by established procedures after 3 months of pretreatment (for the maxilla: the creation of an artificial gingival crevice and placement of a periodontal silk suture; for the mandible: the placement of a periodontal silk suture only). The outcomes were evaluated clinically and radiologically for 3 months postoperatively. After euthanasia a detailed histological evaluation was performed. Results: Periodontitis lesions could be induced successfully in all animals (both ZOL and NON-ZOL animals). MRONJ lesions of various stages developed around all periodontitis induction sites in the ZOL animals. The presence of MRONJ and periodontitis was proven clinically, radiologically and histologically. Conclusions: The results of this study provide further evidence that the infectious processes without prior dentoalveolar surgical interventions can trigger MRONJ. Therefore, iatrogenic disruption of the oral mucosa cannot be the decisive step in the pathogenesis of MRONJ.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Although it is very uncommon, medication-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw (also known as MRONJ) can have serious consequences. Traditionally, this adverse event has been recognised in patients who were treated with bisphosphonate (BP) drugs. Nevertheless, in recent years, it has been established that individuals having treatment with various types of medications, such as a receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand inhibitor (denosumab) and antiangiogenic agents, have had the same issue. The purpose of this research is to determine if the application of human amniotic membrane (hAM) may be used as a therapy for MRONJ. Material and Methods: A multi-source database (MEDLINE, EMBASE, AMED, and CENTRAL) systematic search was performed. The major objective of this study is to obtain an understanding of the efficacy of hAM when it is employed as a treatment modality for MRONJ. The protocol of this review was registered in the INPLASY register under the number NPLASY202330010. Results: The authors were able to include a total of five studies for the quality analysis, whereas for the quantity evaluation, only four studies were eligible. A total of 91 patients were considered for the investigation. After treatment with human amniotic membrane (hAM), a recurrence of osteonecrosis was observed in n = 6 cases (8.8%). The combined efficacy of surgical therapy and the use of hAM resulted in an overall success rate of 91.2%. Intraoperative complications were only documented in one article, and they were mostly caused by the positioning of the hAM, which led to wound breakdown at the surgical site. Conclusions: Based on the small amount of data and low-quality research included in this study, using human amniotic membranes to treat MRONJ might represent a feasible option. Nevertheless, further studies with a wider patient population are required to understand the long-term impacts.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to report the experience of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) in osteoporotic patients for nine years, and their associated initiating factors. Materials and methods The numbers of invasive oral procedures (IOP) (tooth extraction, dental implant placement, and periodontal procedures) and removable prostheses performed from January 2012 to January 2021 were obtained from the digital records of a large public dental center. There were an estimated 6,742 procedures performed in patients under osteoporosis treatment. Results Two cases (0.03%) of MRONJ were registered in nine years amongst patients with osteoporosis who had dental treatment at the center. From the 1,568 tooth extractions, one patient (0.06%) developed MRONJ. There was also one case from the 2,139 removable prostheses delivered (0.05%). Conclusion The prevalence of MRONJ associated with osteoporosis treatment was very low. The protocols adopted seem to be adequate for the prevention of this complication. The findings of this study reinforce the rare frequency of MRONJ associated with dental procedures in patients submitted to the pharmacological management of osteoporosis. An integral analysis of systemic risk factors and oral preventive strategies may be considered regularly in the dental treatment of these patients.

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.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of electronic systems in prescription is considered as the final solution to overcome the many problems of the paper transcription process, especially with the outbreak of Coronavirus needs more attention than before. But despite the many advantages, its implementation faces many challenges and obstacles. Therefore, the present study was conducted to review the effectiveness of computerized physician order entry systems (CPOE) on relative risk reduction on medication error and adverse drug events (ADE). METHOD This study is one of the systematic review studies that was conducted in 2021. In this study, searching for keywords such as E-Electronic Prescription, Patient safety, Medication Errors prescription, Drug Interactions, orginal articles from 2000 to October-2020 in the valid databases such as ISI web of Science PubMed Embase, Scopus and search engines like google was done. The included studies were based on the main objectives of the study and based on the inclusion criteria after several stages of review and quality evaluation. In fact, the main criteria for selecting articles were studies that compared the rate of medication errors with or without assessing the associated harms (real or potential) before and after the implementation of EMS. RESULTS Out of 110 selected studies after initial screening, only 16 articles were selected due to their relevance. Among the final studies, there was a significant heterogeneity. Only 6 studies were of good quality. Of the 10 studies prescribing error rates, 9 reported reductions, but variable denominators prevented meta-analysis. Twelve studies provided specific examples of systemic drug errors. 5 cases reported their occurrence slightly. Out of 9 cases that analyzed the effects on drug error rate, 7 cases showed a significant relative reduction between 13 and 99%. Four of the six studies that analyzed the effects on potential ADEs showed a significant relative reduction of between 35 and 98%. Two of the four studies that analyzed the effect of ADEs showed a relative reduction of between 30 and 84%. CONCLUSION Finally, e-prescribing seems to reduce the risk of medication errors and ADE. However, the studies differed significantly in terms of setting, design, quality and results. More randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are needed to further improve the evidence of health informatics information.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is multifactorial and there is a substantial consensus on the role of antiresorptive drugs (ARDs), including bisphosphonates (BPs) and denosumab (Dmab), as one of the main determinants. The time exposure, cumulative dose and administration intensity of these drugs are critical parameters to be considered in the treatment of patients, as cancer patients show the highest incidence of MRONJ. BPs and Dmab have distinct mechanisms of action on bone, but they also exert different effects on immune subsets which interact with bone cells, thus contributing to the onset of MRONJ. Here, we summarized the main effects of ARDs on the different immune cell subsets, which consequently affect bone cells, particularly osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Data from animal models and MRONJ patients showed a deep interference of ARDs in modulating immune cells, even though a large part of the literature concerns the effects of BPs and there is a lack of data on Dmab, demonstrating the need to further studies.

Abstract
During the last few years, in the territory of the Russian Federation, the number of cases of toxic phosphoric osteonecrosis of the jaws has increased against the background of taking drugs of "artisanal" production (pervitin, desomorphin). The aim of our study was to increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with a diagnosis of toxic phosphorus necrosis of the maxilla. We performed a comprehensive treatment of patients with a history of drug addiction and the above diagnosis. Surgical intervention in the volume of complete resection of pathologically altered tissues and reconstructive techniques using local tissues and a replaced flap made it possible to achieve good aesthetic and functional results in the early and late postoperative period. Thus, our proposed method of surgical treatment can be used in similar clinical situations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a type of jawbone necrosis caused by the use of drugs for some types of cancer and osteoporosis. The current study aimed to evaluate the associations between hyperglycemia and the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. METHODS Our research group investigated data collected between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2020. A total of 260 patients were selected from the Inpatient Care Unit, Department of Oromaxillofacial Surgery and Stomatology, Semmelweis University. Fasting glucose data were used and included in the study. RESULTS Approximately 40% of the necrosis group and 21% of the control group presented with hyperglycemia. There was a significant association between hyperglycemia and MRONJ (p < 0.05, p = 0.003). Vascular anomaly and immune dysfunction caused by hyperglycemia can lead to necrosis after tooth extraction. Necrosis is more common in the mandible (75.0%) and in the case of parenteral antiresorptive treatment (intravenous Zoledronate and subcutaneous Denosumab). Hyperglycemia is a more relevant risk factor than bad oral habits (26.7%). CONCLUSIONS Ischemia is a complication of abnormal glucose levels, a possible risk factor for necrosis development. Hence, uncontrolled or poorly regulated plasma glucose levels can significantly increase the risk of jawbone necrosis after invasive dental or oral surgical interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of pre-treatment with proanthocyanidins (PA) flavonoids, from grape seed extract, and synthetic naringenin (NA) on the synthesis of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) gelatinases and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs), as well as the gelatinolytic activity of MMPs by human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and osteoblasts (Ob) exposed to zoledronic acid (ZA) in a dental implant surface in vitro model. DESIGN The highest non-cytotoxic concentrations of NA and PA were determined for HGF (10 μg/mL; defined by previous study) and Ob (0.5 μg/mL; defined by prestoBlue assay). Then, HFG and Ob were individually seeded onto titanium discs, and after 24 h, cells were pre-treated (or not) with NA or PA, followed (or not) by exposure to ZA. Next, MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2 synthesis (ELISA), and gelatinolytic activity (in situ zymography) was evaluated. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS ZA treatment increased the synthesis (p < 0.05) and activity of MMPs; flavonoids pre-treatment controlled ZA-induced gelatinolytic effects, down-regulating MMPs synthesis (p < 0.05) and activity by HGF and Ob. For HGF, NA and PA pre-treatment did not up-regulate TIMP synthesis after ZA exposure (p > 0.05); for Ob, TIMP-2 was up-regulated (p < 0.05) by flavonoids, followed by ZA. CONCLUSIONS NA and PA pre-treatment provides interesting results in the modulation of ZA deleterious effects, down-regulating MMP-2 and MMP-9 synthesis and activity by HGF and Ob and up-regulating TIMP-2 by Ob.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a drug-related side effect linked but not limited to antiresorptive and antiangiogenic molecules. It recognizes several triggers in dental procedures, such as surgery, endodontic treatments, and root planing, but also prosthesis decubitus or with a spontaneous onset. Although there are many reports about the onset of this pathology, oral hygiene status is mainly described as a consequence of MRONJ. Not so much is known about the oral hygiene situation as a concurrent factor in the pathogenesis of severe stages and about non-surgical periodontal therapy in patients affected by MRONJ. Actually, clear instructions for non-surgical periodontal therapy are poor in the literature. The primary outcome of the present study is to evaluate the oral hygiene status in MRONJ patients. In addition, a secondary outcome is to review the factor of poor oral hygiene as a cause or worsening aspect for MRONJ. A total of 45 subjects (19 males and 26 females) with a mean age of 59 ± 12 were enrolled. The Pearson correlation coefficient showed no significant results for the variable of the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S) and the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) stage, although the majority of patients showed poor oral hygiene with an OHI-S average of 3.39 ± 1.83. As stated by the last AAOMS position paper, poor plaque control is related to a worsened MRONJ stage. The relation between the lack of oral hygiene and MRONJ onset is still unclear.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are among the most widely used drugs in the world for their many clinical indications. Their mechanism of action is based on the increase in the level of bone mineralization through the inhibition of osteoclastic activity and the induction of osteoblastic activity. Recent studies also attribute to bisphosphonates an antineoplastic activity, due to the ability of these drugs to inhibit neo angiogenesis, inhibiting the proliferation of endothelial cells. Bisphosphonates have several common properties, including poorly absorbed orally, high affinity for bone mineral, inhibitory effects on osteoclastic bone resorption, prolonged bone retention, and elimination in the urine. Bisphosphonates are generally well tolerated but their use can be, however, burdened by serious side effects such as hypocalcaemia, renal impairment, and aseptic osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Abstract
Surgical options for managing patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw are multiple and may range from superficial debridement to vascularized osteocutaneous free flaps. However, some protocols may not be an option in specific cases, and alternative techniques for patients who are not likely candidates for more invasive procedures may represent a suitable solution to treat these patients. Here, we report the case of a 69-year-old man who presented to the Stomatology Department with dysphagia, exposed bone, and mild mandibular pain for the past three months. The patient was diagnosed with stage III medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Surgical debridement with sequestrum removal was performed and the remaining intraoral defect, which was unsuitable for primary closure, was addressed with a dermal regeneration matrix. This system allowed full coverage of the surgical wound. At 10 weeks of follow-up, the intraoral defect had healed completely with no need for active intervention. Dermal regeneration matrixes may represent a surgical approach to cover oromaxillary defects in select patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Implant placement in patients with cancer receiving high-dose antiresorptive medication (HDAR) is considered contraindicated. This prospective, feasibility study tested the hypothesis that dental implants can be placed in such patients by applying a staged implant placement protocol with submerged healing. METHODS Three groups of patients on HDAR were included as follows: group 1: patients who underwent tooth extraction, without the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ); group 2: patients with surgically treated MRONJ who had demonstrated clinical healing for at least 3 months; group 3: patients with established MRONJ who was planned for surgical resection and simultaneous implant placement. RESULTS A total of 49 implants were placed in 27 patients (group 1: 12, group 2: 7 and group 3: 8). HDAR included bisphosphonates and denosumab. The mean HDAR time was 25 months (SD: ± 18.4, range 3-68 months). An abutment operation was performed 4 months following the implant placement (SD: ± 1.9, range 3-14 months). All patients healed uneventfully. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that it is feasible to insert dental implants and perform an abutment surgery in patients with cancer on HDAR, without the development of MRONJ.

Corylifol A protects against ovariectomized-induced bone loss and attenuates RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis via ROS reduction, ERK inhibition, and NFATc1 activation. Free Radic Biol Med 2023; 196:121-132.

Abstract
Osteoclast differentiation and function are critical targets for anti-osteoporosis treatment. Oxidative stress also plays an important regulatory role in the differentiation of osteoclasts. Corylifol A (CA) is a flavonoid extracted from the Psoralea fruit. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties despite its unknown effect on osteoporosis. This study found that CA prevented estrogen-deficiency-induced bone loss and suppressed osteoclastogenesis in ovariectomized (OVX) mice by inhibiting intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. In vivo, CA effectively prevented trabecular bone loss and reduced osteoclasts' number on the bone surface in OVX mice, as demonstrated in micro-CT, osteometry, and immunohistochemical data. However, CA did not affect cortical bone. In vitro, CA inhibited RANKL-induced podosome belt formation, osteoclastogenesis, and bone resorption functions. CA suppressed RANKL-induced ROS by boosting antioxidant enzymes (Catalase and NQO1) and NFATc1 signaling pathway related protein expression, including integrin αvβ3, NFATc1 and CTSK. Moreover, CA inhibited osteoclast-specific genes, including Ctsk, Acp5, and Mmp9. CA also attenuated the MAPK/ERK pathway, but did not affect the NF-κB signaling pathway. In terms of osteogenesis, CA did not inhibit or promote osteogenic differentiation and mineralization in vitro. These results reveal that CA could be a new replacement therapy for treating estrogen-deficiency osteoporosis via suppressing osteoclastogenesis and intracellular ROS.

Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (MRONJ) in Children and Young Patients-A Systematic Review. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12041416. [PMID: 36835951 PMCID: PMC9962332 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12041416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 12/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is defined by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) as the presence of an exposed bone area in the maxillofacial region, present for more than eight weeks in patients treated with the use of antiresorptive or antiangiogenic agents, with no history of radiation or metastatic disease. Bisphosphonates (BF) and denosumab (DS) are widely used in adults for the management of patients with cancer and osteoporosis, and recently there has been an increase in their use in child and young patients for the management of disorders such as osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), malignant hypercalcemia, and others. There are differences between case reports in adults compared to child and young patients related to the use of antiresorptive/antiangiogenic drugs and the development of MRONJ. The aim was to analyze the presence of MRONJ in children and young patients, and the relation with oral surgery. A systematic review, following the PRISMA search matrix based on the PICO question, was conducted in PubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and manual search in high-impact journals between 1960 and 2022, publications in English or Spanish, including randomized and non-randomized clinical trials, prospective and retrospective cohort studies, cases and controls studies, and series and case reports. A total of 2792 articles were identified and 29 were included; all of them published between 2007 and 2022, identifying 1192 patients, 39.68% male and 36.24% female, aged 11.56 years old on average, using these drugs mainly for OI (60.15%); 4.21 years on average was the therapy time and 10.18 drug doses administered on average; oral surgery was observed in 216 subjects, reporting 14 cases of MRONJ. We concluded that there is a low presence of MRONJ in the child and youth population treated with antiresorptive drugs. Data collection is weak, and details of therapy are not clear in some cases. Deficiencies in protocols and pharmacological characterization were observed in most of the included articles.

Radiographic perception of anatomical structures and bony changes in oncologic patients under antiresorptive therapy. Support Care Cancer 2023; 31:149. [PMID: 36737557 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-023-07613-w] [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: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
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.
