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
Bone-modifying agents (BMAs) are integral to managing patients with advanced cancer. They improve quality of survival by reducing skeletal-related events, treating hypercalcaemia and chemotherapy-induced bone loss (Coleman in Clin Cancer Res 12: 6243s-6249s, 2006), (Coleman in Ann Oncol 31: 1650-1663, 2020). Two decades ago, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) was first reported following BMA therapy (Marx in J Oral Maxillofac Surg 61: 1115-1117, 2003). The risk of MRONJ extends over a decade following BMA treatment with bisphosphonates, complicating dental care such as extractions. In addition, MRONJ has been reported following additional therapies such as antiangiogenic agents, cytotoxic agents, immunotherapy, and targeted agents. The use of BMAs in the curative and adjuvant cancer setting is increasing, consequently the implication of MRONJ is growing. Over the past 20 years, the literature has consolidated major risk factors for MRONJ, the pathophysiology and management strategies for MRONJ. Our review aims to document the development of MRONJ preventative and management strategies in cancer patients receiving a BMA. The authors advocate the incorporation of dental oncology strategies into contemporary cancer care, to optimise long-term quality of survival after cancer treatment.

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

Abstract
The continuation of bone-modifying agents (BMAs) in patients with established medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a common concern among dentists and oncologists. There is little evidence supporting or refuting the continued use of BMAs or drug holidays and their impact on established MRONJ. This paper evaluates the outcome of continued BMAs use on the patient's MRONJ status. A retrospective review of 29 oncology patients undergoing active cancer care for either metastatic disease or multiple myeloma was conducted. Data on demographics, oncological status, BMA history and MRONJ status were collected. In total, 90% of patients were judged to have healed or stable MRONJ while continuing BMAs. Most patients (69%) continued the same BMA regime (three- or four-weekly) that they were on before developing MRONJ. The average number of BMAs doses received after an MRONJ diagnosis was 12 (range 1-48). Three patients (10.3%) were found to have MRONJ progression, with two patients developing new sites of necrosis. This real-world dataset suggests that the majority of MRONJ cases remain stable and will not worsen with the continuation of BMAs.

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.

Abstract
PURPOSE Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a debilitating side effect of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic agents that can lead to progressive bone destruction in the maxillofacial region. Dental surgery, including tooth extractions, commonly trigger the onset of MRONJ. While guidelines suggest avoiding extraction when possible, complete avoidance is not always feasible, as necrosis can develop from dental and periodontal disease without dental procedures. The goal of this article is to provide an update review of current preventive and therapeutic approaches for MRONJ. METHODS A comprehensive electronic search was conducted on PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus databases. All English articles encompassing randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, observational studies, and case studies were reviewed. The current medical treatments and adjuvant therapies for managing MRONJ patients were critically assessed and summarized. RESULTS Pentoxifylline and alpha tocopherol (PENT-E), teriparatide, photobiomodulation (PBM), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and the use of growth factors have shown to enhance healing in MRONJ patients. Implementing these methods alone or in conjunction with surgical treatment has been linked to reduced discomfort and improved wound healing and increased new bone formation. DISCUSSION While several adjuvant treatment modalities exhibit promising results in facilitating the healing process, current clinical practice guidelines predominantly recommend antibiotic therapy as a non-surgical approach, primarily addressing secondary infections in necrotic areas. However, this mainly addresses the potential infectious complication of MRONJ. Medical approaches including PENT-E, teriparatide, PBM, and PDT can result in successful management and should be considered prior to taking a surgical approach. Combined medical management for both preventing and managing MRONJ holds potential for achieving optimal clinical outcomes and avoiding surgical intervention, requiring further validation through larger studies and controlled trials.

Healthcare (Basel) 2024; 12:457. [PMID: 38391832 PMCID: PMC10888159 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12040457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws is the most frequent complication in patients treated or in therapy with antiresorptive/antiangiogenetic drugs. The list of medications possibly related to MRONJ onset is constantly growing; we aimed to report on a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (Osimertinib) as possibly responsible for bilateral maxillary necrosis onset in the herein-described case. METHODS In June 2023, an oncologic patient with two different maxillary bone exposures was referred to our attention. His medical history revealed a two-year Denosumab regimen along with Osimertinib, the latter not suspended before teeth extractions. The clinicians performed a sequestrum removal and bone debridement after three cycles of antibiotic therapy. RESULTS Histologic examinations confirmed the clinical diagnosis of MRONJ excluding a metastatic occurrence, while complete mucosal healing was achieved after 15 days. CONCLUSIONS The patient suspended Denosumab for more than six months before teeth extraction for MRONJ prevention; hence, failure to discontinue Osimertinib led us to consider it a possible etiological factor. From a literature analysis, only one case has already been published reporting a possible Osimertinib-related occurrence of MRONJ in lung cancer patients. Our case is a further report that could be intended as an alert both for oncologists and dentists to share decisions about the oral management of such patients together, also informing them about this possible risk. Also, this report could trigger in the scientific community the necessity to evaluate further guidelines for similar doubtful cases in which the drug interaction, the mono-suspension, and the possible removable prosthesis-related additional trauma should be considered causes or con-causes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The need for prevention and management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) has increased with the growing number of patients using antiresorptive agents. The scope of this systematic review (SR) was to determine whether the withdrawal of antiresorptive agents is necessary for tooth extractions in patients receiving each of the antiresorptive medications. MATERIALS AND METHODS The searches were performed using the MEDLINE databases. We selected SRs, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective and retrospective non-randomized clinical (observational) studies, and case reports/case series in this order of preference. RESULTS We included one SR, one RCT, five observational studies, and three case reports. Meta-analyses were not conducted because the RCT had an extremely small sample size and the observational studies had different definitions of intervention and comparison that could not be integrated across studies. In this SR, no studies showed a benefit (i.e., a reduction in the incidence of osteonecrosis of the jaw) of short-term withdrawal of antiresorptive agents for tooth extraction. Additionally, no studies examined the harm (i.e., an increase in femoral and vertebral fractures and skeletal-related events during bone metastasis) of withdrawal for tooth extraction. CONCLUSIONS We were unable to determine whether withdrawal before and after tooth extraction is necessary with a high certainty of evidence. Future systematic reviews including RCTs with larger samples are expected to provide such evidence. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This systematic review provides evidence-based information for multidisciplinary collaborations related to patients receiving antiresorptive agents.

Drug holiday of high-dose denosumab and recovery from osteoclast inhibition using immunohistochemical investigation of 7 patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw undergoing segmental mandibulectomy. J Dent Sci 2023; 18:1645-1650.

Abstract
Background/purpose Denosumab is used to treat bone metastases from malignant tumors. Unlike bisphosphonates, denosumab is not deposited in the bone; thus, withdrawal for a relatively short period would help recovery from osteoclast suppression. This study investigated the relationship between drug holidays and recovery from osteoclast suppression. Materials and methods Seven patients who received high-dose denosumab and underwent segmental mandibulectomy for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw were enrolled in this study. Osteoclast suppression (+) was defined as the absence of cathepsin K-positive cells or cathepsin K-positive mononuclear or small multinucleated cells observed on the bone surface of both mesial and distal specimens. When normal osteoclasts were found, osteoclast suppression was defined as (-); when both suppressed cathepsin K-positive cells and normal morphological osteoclasts were found, it was defined as (±). Results Osteoclast suppression was: (+) in four patients, three without a drug holiday and one with a 9-month drug holiday; (±) in one patient with an 8-month drug holiday, and (-) in two patients with drug holidays for 13 and 20 months. Conclusion These findings suggest that a long-term drug holiday, such as 12 months, is required for recovery from osteoclast suppression in patients with cancer receiving high-dose denosumab.

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

Location and Gender Differences in Osteonecrosis of the Jaws in Patients Treated with Antiresorptive and Antineoplastic Drugs Undergoing Dentoalveolar Surgical, Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12093299. [PMID: 37176741 PMCID: PMC10178920 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12093299] [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: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
In the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis and more generally of neoplastic and metabolic pathologies affecting bone tissues, antiresorption drugs such as bisphosphonates and monoclonal antibody are used. Bisphosphonates have been linked to cases of osteonecrosis of the jaws since 2003 by Marx, with more and more evidence over the next two decades; together with bisphosphonate drugs, cases relating to the use of monoclonal drugs have been subsequently added. Among the main independent risk factors, we have extraction procedures in oral surgery that can affect both the mandible and the maxilla and the anterior or posterior sectors. The incidence of MRONJ treated with oral bisphosphonates ranges from 0.5% to 3% according to studies; this incidence would appear to be higher in patients treated with antiresorptive agents with neoplastic diseases. Many pathologies including those in which antiresorptive drugs are used show differences in prevalence in relation to sex; similarly, there could be differences in the incidence of cases of osteonecrosis based on gender in patients undergoing dentoalveolar surgery. Therefore, the objective of this systematic review and trial sequential analysis was to identify and quantify whether there is a proportionally greater risk of MRONJ in male or female subjects and whether there is evidence of greater involvement of osteonecrosis at several extraction sites, differentiating them into mandibular or maxilla and in the anterior or posterior sector. The revision protocol followed the indications of the Cochrane Handbook, and were recorded in Prospero, while the drafting of the manuscript was based on PRISMA. The results of the systematic review, after the study identification and selection process, included a total of 24 studies. The results of the meta-analysis reports: odds ratio (random effects model): 1.476 (0.684, 3.184) between male and female; odds ratio (random effects model): 1.390 (0.801, 2.412) between mandible and maxillary, and an odds ratio value of 0.730 (0.250, 2.137) between the anterior and posterior extraction sites. In conclusion, we can see that there was a trend in the onset of MRONJ as a complication of dentoalveolar surgical procedures, which proportionally mostly involved the male sex and the posterior mandibular sectors, however, this trend must be further confirmed by additional studies.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) has emerged as a complication of anti-resorptive medications. Despite its low incidence rate, this problem has gained attention in recent years due to its devastating consequences and lack of preventive strategy. The fact that MRONJ incidence has been exclusive to the jawbones, despite the systemic effect of anti-resorptive medications, could be a starting point to unravel the multifactorial pathogenesis of this condition. This review aims to negotiate the question of why the jawbone is more susceptible to MRONJ than other skeletal sites. Approaching the problem from this perspective could provide new directions for the prevention of MRONJ and expand our understanding of the unique oral microenvironment.

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.

Abstract
Background Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe complication associated with antiresorptive medications managing osteoporosis, such as bisphosphonates (BPs). To date, there is very limited evidence from prospective, controlled studies to support or refute the controversial prevention regimen that if a discontinuation of BPs before dentoalveolar surgery, so called "drug holiday", is effective in reducing the risk of MRONJ development in patients with osteoporosis. We proposed an experimental animal study, aiming to investigate the prevention of MRONJ following tooth extractions in osteoporotic condition, with the implementation of a BP drug holiday. Methods Twenty rats were subjected to bilateral ovariectomy. After establishing the osteoporotic condition, all rats were exposed to weekly injections of zoledronate acid (ZA) for 8 weeks. After ZA treatment, 10 rats were subjected to dental extraction and defined as control group, and the rest 10 rats assigned to the DH group had a drug holiday of 8 weeks prior to dental extraction. Eight weeks after the dentoalveolar surgery, bone turnover biomarker in serum, occurrence of MRONJ-like lesion and histomorphometric assessment of osteonecrosis in mandible, and bone microarchitecture indices in femur, were examined. Results Eight weeks after dental extraction, the DH group showed a recovered osteoclastic activity, indicated by significantly increased number of osteoclasts in the mandibles and serum level of C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen, as compared to the control group. No significant differences were observed in the gross-view and histological occurrences of MRONJ-like lesions between the two groups.There was no significant difference in bone microarchitecture in the femur between the control and DH groups before ZA therapy and 8 weeks after dental extraction. Conclusion Our data provided the first experimental evidence in the osteoporotic animal model that the implementation of a BP holiday in prior to dental extractions could partially recover osteoclastic activity, but could not alleviate the development of MRONJ-like lesion or exacerbate the osteoporotic condition in the femur. Longer-term drug holiday, or combination of drug holiday and other prophylaxes to prevent MRONJ in patients with osteoporosis could be worth exploring in future studies, to pave the way for clinical managements. The translational potential of this article This in vivo prospective study reported that a recovery of osteoclastic activity by a BP drug holiday for 8 weeks in osteoporosis rats did not alleviate the development of MRONJ-like lesion followed by dental extractions. It contributes to the understanding of regimens to prevent MRONJ.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in cancer patients presents a considerable challenge in management. Current management is primarily based on interventions in a limited number of cases assessing a single approach. Medical management typically is reported to include antimicrobial therapy with or without surgery. Advances in the understanding of pathogenesis have led to the investigation of additional medical interventions for early-stage necrosis. We present 3 patients with advanced-stage MRONJ of the maxilla using combined medical modalities including antimicrobial therapy, photobiomodulation therapy, pentoxifylline, vitamin E, and synthetic parathyroid hormone. All patients had a good outcome and avoided surgical intervention. We also report biological and functional imaging that may assist in more effective diagnosis and management of MRONJ. The 3 patients reported suggest that combined medical management should be considered in all cases of MRONJ (including stage III) prior to determining if surgical intervention is required. Functional imaging with a technetium bone scan or positron emission tomography scan correlated with diagnosis and confirmed resolution in patients. We present 3 challenging MRONJ patients that were effectively managed with a combined medical and nonsurgical therapy that demonstrated good clinical outcomes avoiding surgical interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a well-known severe adverse reaction of antiresorptive, antiangiogenic or targeted therapies, and usually occurs after tooth extraction. This review is aimed at determining the efficacy of any intervention of tooth extraction to reduce the risk of MRONJ in patients taking antiresorptive drugs, and present the distribution of evidence in these clinical questions. METHODS Primary studies and reviews were searched from nine databases (Medline, EMBase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, WOSCC, Inspec, KCI-KJD, SciELO and GIM) and two registers (ICTRP and ClinicalTrials.gov) to 30 November 2022. The risk of bias was assessed with the ROBIS tool in reviews, and the RoB 2 tool and ROBINS-I tool in primary studies. Data were extracted and then a meta-analysis was undertaken between primary studies where appropriate. RESULTS Fifteen primary studies and five reviews were included in this evidence mapping. One review was at low risk of bias, and one randomized controlled trial was at moderate risk, while the other eighteen studies were at high, serious or critical risk. Results of syntheses: (1) there was no significant risk difference found between drug holiday and drug continuation except for a subgroup in which drug continuation was supported in the reduced incidence proportion of MRONJ for over a 3-month follow-up; (2) the efficacy of the application of autologous platelet concentrates in tooth extraction was uncertain; (3) there was no significant difference found between different surgical techniques in any subgroup analysis; and (4) the risk difference with antibacterial prophylaxis versus control was -0.57, 95% CI -0.85 to -0.29. CONCLUSIONS There is limited evidence to demonstrate that a drug holiday is unnecessary (and may in fact be potentially harmful) in dental practice. Primary closure and antibacterial prophylaxis are recommended despite limited evidences. All evidence have been graded as either of a low or very low quality, and thus further high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to answer this clinical question.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is primarily associated with administering antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drugs. Despite significant research on MRONJ, its pathogenesis and effective treatments are still not fully understood. Animal models can be used to simulate the pathophysiological features of MRONJ, serving as standardized in vivo experimental platforms to explore the pathogenesis and therapies of MRONJ. Rodent models exhibit excellent effectiveness and high reproducibility in mimicking human MRONJ, but classical methods cannot achieve a complete replica of the pathogenesis of MRONJ. Modified rodent models have been reported with improvements for better mimicking of MRONJ onset in clinic. This review summarizes representative classical and modified rodent models of MRONJ created through various combinations of systemic drug induction and local stimulation and discusses their effectiveness and efficiency. Currently, there is a lack of a unified assessment system for MRONJ models, which hinders a standard definition of MRONJ-like lesions in rodents. Therefore, this review comprehensively summarizes assessment systems based on published peer-review articles, including new approaches in gross observation, histological assessments, radiographic assessments, and serological assessments. This review can serve as a reference for model establishment and evaluation in future preclinical studies on MRONJ.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oral rehabilitation can be a challenge in patients on high-dose antiresorptive medication (HDAR), especially if the alveolar anatomy has changed due to previous medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) resection. In healthy patients, dental implant treatment has found wide acceptance in prosthetic rehabilitation as it increases the patient's oral health-related quality of life. However, it is considered contraindicated in patients on HDAR due to the risk of MRONJ, although a recent feasibility study indicates that implant treatment may indeed be an option in these patients. The aim of the present case report is to illustrate the risk of MRONJ in a patient with cancer on HDAR and to discuss the reasons behind the outcomes of the implant treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS A patient with prostate cancer with bone metastases on high-dose denosumab therapy with previous MRONJ had four implants inserted bilaterally in the maxilla (14, 13, 23, 24). Two identical implant-supported screw-retained cantilever bridges were fabricated. The patient was followed for more than 1 year. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Peri-implantitis, and/or MRONJ, was diagnosed around two of the implants (23, 24), probably induced by crestal bone trauma from a healing abutment and/or a misfitting prosthetic reconstruction. A peri-implantitis operation was performed, but without the desired response, and the two implants (23, 24) were later removed in an MRONJ resection. The implants on the other side of the maxilla (14, 13) remained without complications. Dental implant treatment is feasible in patients on HDAR, but comorbidities (e.g., diabetes mellitus) and polypharmacy (e.g., chemotherapy and steroids) may add to the risk of implant failure. Minimal trauma surgery and prosthodontics are crucial to increase the chance of successful healing in an HDAR patient.

Abstract
Denosumab is a human monoclonal antibody that competitively inhibits the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand which regulates osteoclast activity. It is an effective treatment for osteoporosis with a reduced cumulative rate of vertebral fractures, hip and nonvertebral fractures as well as an increase in bone mineral density. The benefits have been shown to be maintained when treatment is continued up to and likely after 10 years of therapy, but the effects are lost rapidly if treatment is discontinued abruptly. There are rare medical indications for discontinuation of treatment. Discontinuation of denosumab is often driven by concern about complications such as osteonecrosis of the jaw, atypical femoral fractures and hypocalcaemia, which remain rare events. Further studies are required to confirm safety and efficacy beyond 10 years of treatment, but it is likely that patients will have ongoing benefits from therapy beyond this. We aim to present a personal perspective of why and how denosumab should be discontinued in patients with osteoporosis.

Buchbender M, Bauerschmitz C, Pirkl S, Kesting MR, Schmitt CM. A Retrospective Data Analysis for the Risk Evaluation of the Development of Drug-Associated Jaw Necrosis through Dentoalveolar Interventions. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19074339. [PMID: 35410020 PMCID: PMC8998225 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19074339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 04/01/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to analyse the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients who underwent surgical intervention to identify potential risk factors between three different groups sorted by the type of oral surgery (single tooth extraction, multiple extraction, osteotomy). Data from patients with this medical history between 2010 and 2017 were retrospectively analysed. The following parameters were collected: sex, age, medical status, surgical intervention location of dentoalveolar intervention and form of medication. A total of 115 patients fulfilled the criteria and underwent 115 dental surgical interventions (female n = 90, male n = 25). In total, 73 (63.47%) of them had metastatic underlying diseases, and 42 (36.52%) had osteoporotic ones. MRONJ occurred in 10 patients (8.70%) (female n = 5, male n = 5). The occurrence of MRONJ was significantly correlated (p ≤ 0.05) with the mandible site and male sex. Tooth removal at the mandible site remains the main risk factor for the development of MRONJ. The risk profile of developing MRONJ after dentoalveolar interventions could be expected as follows: tooth osteotomy > multiple extractions > single tooth extraction.

Abstract
Postoperative tissue regeneration can be negatively affected by bisphosphonate administration, especially in patients with oncologic diseases. A serious complication of bisphosphonate therapy is the medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), which can be observed mainly after dental surgery. MRONJ is a progressive destruction of the bone that requires patients to stay in hospital for extended periods of time. For this reason, primary wound closure is particularly important in surgical procedures. In the case of wound dehiscence, there is a very high risk for MRONJ. In recent years, non-invasive physical plasma (NIPP) has become known for improving wound healing on the one hand, but also for its promising efficacy in cancer therapy on the other hand. We report on a 63-year-old patient with a history of multiple myeloma and receiving zoledronate, who developed wound dehiscence after tooth extraction. NIPP treatment resulted in complete epithelialization of the entire wound dehiscence. In conclusion, the use of NIPP in patients receiving antiresorptive drugs seems to support tissue regeneration and thus could be an important tool for the prevention of MRONJ.

[PMID: 35407415 PMCID: PMC8999581 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11071807] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Revised: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a mucosal lesion of the maxillofacial region with necrotic bone exposure. MRONJ is believed to be multifactorial. Tooth extraction is debatably a risk factor for MRONJ. The targets of the present study were to examine MRONJ occurrence in patients using bone modifying agents (BMAs) for oncology indications and undergoing a dental extraction, and to assess whether suspected predisposing factors can predict MRONJ. Materials and Methods: This retrospective, cohort study included all patients fitting the inclusion criteria and a large tertiary medical center. Data were obtained from the hospital’s medical records using a structured questionnaire. Results: We performed 103 extractions on 93 patients. Local inflammation/infection of the extraction site was most associated with a complication (p = 0.001) OR = 13.46, 95% CI = (1.71, 105.41), OR = 13.5. When the indication for extraction was periodontal disease, vertical root fracture, or periapical pathosis, the odds of developing MRONJ were 4.29 times higher than for all other indications (p = 0.1), OR = 4.29, 95% CI = (1.16, 15.85). A significant association was found between the time of onset of BMA treatment and time of extraction and the development of MRONJ, OR = 3.34, 95% CI = (1.01, 10.18). Other variables did not correlate with the development of MRONJ. Conclusion: Local inflammation/infection and onset of BMA treatment prior to extraction yield a 10.23 times higher chance of developing MRONJ following tooth extraction. Future protocols should use this information to minimize MRONJ incidence.
