Abstract
A wide range of adjuvant treatments have been studied to treat osteonecrosis. Photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy are commonly used. A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses systematic review was conducted to evaluate photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy for the treatment of osteonecrosis related to the use of medications or related to ionising radiation. After searching PubMed, EMBASE, LILACS and Livivo Database, 2 systematic reviews, 4 prospective comparative studies, 10 comparative studies and 23 retrospective case reports were selected. Photobiomodulation-positive outcomes were observed in pain management and healing linked to osteonecrosis of the jaw due to antiresorptive drugs. Limited studies exist on photodynamic therapy and osteoradionecrosis. No adverse effects were reported. Despite the low quality of evidence, findings suggest that photobiomodulation may serve as an adjuvant therapy for osteoporotic patients, particularly those ineligible for surgery. Similar benefits were noted for oncological patients, but controlled trials evaluating cancer-related outcomes are lacking, emphasising the need for further research.

The adjunctive use of Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) in the management of Medication Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ): a retrospective observational study. Oral Maxillofac Surg 2024; 28:1605-1615.

Abstract
PURPOSE Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a risk for patients taking anti-resorptive or anti-angiogenic medications. The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAMOS) has classified MRONJ in stages to reflect the severity of the disease and allows implementation of suitable treatment pathways. MRONJ risk is < 5% in cancer patients and < 0.05% in osteoporosis patients. Management is subdivided into operative and non-operative, with advances in the literature investigating adjuvants. Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin (L-PRF) is an autologous biomaterial consisting of leukocytes and platelets embedded within a fibrin matrix with the ability to release growth factors enabling angiogenesis, bone regeneration and soft tissue healing. This paper's aim is to investigate the effects of L-PRF in conjuction with surgical debridement for management of MRONJ. METHODS Twenty-two cases with established MRONJ were treated with either surgical intervention (Group A) or with surgical intervention and L-PRF (Group B), from 2016 to 2023 at Edinburgh Dental Institute (EDI). Treatments were deemed successful when the patients were asymptomatic, displayed complete soft tissue healing with the absence of infection/inflammation, fistula, or exposed bone. RESULTS All cases in Group B had healed in contrast to 54.5% not healed in Group A; p value < 0.05 indicating statistical significance. CONCLUSION The use of L-PRF as an adjuvant to surgical management of MRONJ is promising with its favourable functional capacity, simple application, and success of treatment outcomes.

Effectiveness of Local Use of Green Propolis-Loaded Lipid Nanoparticles as Adjuvant Therapy to Scaling and Root Planing in the Management of Periodontitis in Rats Treated with Zoledronate. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:12443. [PMID: 39596508 PMCID: PMC11595208 DOI: 10.3390/ijms252212443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2024] [Revised: 10/30/2024] [Accepted: 11/03/2024] [Indexed: 11/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This study assessed the effectiveness of the local use of green propolis-loaded lipid nanoparticles (GPlnp) as an adjuvant therapy to scaling and root planing (SRP) to manage experimental periodontitis (EP) in ovariectomized rats treated with zoledronate. Ten weeks before the experiment, 48 female rats were ovariectomized. On day 0, a ligature was installed in the lower first molar to induce EP. From day 0 to day 42, half of the rats were treated with vehicle (VEH), while the other half were treated with 100μg/Kg of zoledronate (ZOL). On day 14, the rats were allocated into the following groups: VEH-NLT, VEH-SRP, VEH-SRP-GPlnp, ZOL-NLT, ZOL-SRP, and ZOL-SRP-GPlnp. VEH-NLT and ZOL-NLT received no local treatment. VEH-SRP and ZOL-SRP received SRP and irrigation with physiological saline solution. VEH-SRP-GPlnp and ZOL-SRP-GPlnp received SRP and irrigation with GPlnp. A single SRP session was carried out, and four irrigation sessions were conducted (on days 14, 16, 18, and 20). On day 42, all animals were euthanized. The hemimandibles were processed for histological, histometric (percentage of total bone tissue (PTBT) and non-vital bone tissue (PNVBT)) and immunohistochemical (TNFα, IL-1β, and TRAP) analysis. VEH-SRP-GPlnp showed better tissue repair, higher PTBT, and lower immunolabeling for TNFα and IL-1β compared to the groups treated with VEH. ZOL-SRP-GPlnp showed a favorable tissue repair, with lower PNVBT, less local inflammation, and lower immunolabeling for TNFα and IL-1β compared to the groups treated with ZOL. Irrigation with GPlnp proved to be effective as an adjuvant therapy to SRP in treating EP in ovariectomized rats treated with zoledronate.

Comparison of the Effects of Four Laser Wavelengths on Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) in a Murine Model: An In Vivo Photobiomodulation Study. Int J Med Sci 2024; 21:2959-2973. [PMID: 39628679 PMCID: PMC11610323 DOI: 10.7150/ijms.93224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/23/2024] [Indexed: 12/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of lasers at various wavelengths in treating medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) using biochemical, clinical scoring, micro CT analysis, and histopathological methods. The study follows the ARRIVE guidelines to ensure robust and transparent research. Methods: In our study, there were 6 groups, including one SHAM group, one CONTROL group, and four experimental groups, with 8 rats in each individual group. Each rat received antiresorptive drug intraperitoneally for 4 weeks and then had the left second molar in the mandible extracted. All animals were sacrificed at the end of the 12th week. In the experimental groups, lasers at wavelengths of 405nm, 445nm, 660nm, and 808nm were applied to the animals. Parameters such as serum vitamin D levels, bone density and bone volume at the extraction site, new bone formation, dead bone count, inflammatory cell count, and epithelial regeneration were examined. Additionally, clinical scoring was conducted after sacrifice. The laser parameters included power density, area, time, fluence, and mode (continuous wave), and the light was administered using a fiber with a Gaussian profile. Statistical analyses were performed with the NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System) 2007 Statistical Software (Utah, USA) package program. The results were evaluated at the p<0.05 significance level. Results: According to the results obtained from our study, new bone formation in all experimental groups was significantly higher than in the SHAM and CONTROL groups. Furthermore, the 660nm and 808nm wavelengths increased serum vitamin D levels significantly. The most successful outcomes were observed in clinical scoring, dead bone count, epithelial cell regeneration, and bone density in the 660nm and 808nm wavelength groups. Conclusions: The combined use of lasers at 660nm and 808nm wavelengths may yield successful results in treating MRONJ.

Abstract
Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and oral fluid have emerged as promising diagnostic tools for detecting biomarkers. This review aimed to evaluate the existing literature on using oral fluids as a source of biomarkers for bone turnover diseases affecting the jawbone. A comprehensive search strategy was executed between August 2014 and August 2024 across five major databases (Web of Science, EBSCOhost Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and PubMed) and grey literature sources. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) was applied. The screening was facilitated using Rayyan at rayyan.ai and Endnote X20 software tools, culminating in the evaluation of 14,965 citations from databases and 34 from grey literature. Following rigorous scrutiny, 37 articles were selected for inclusion in this review, encompassing diseases such as periodontitis, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), and osteoporosis. The quality of the included observational studies was assessed using the Revised Risk of Bias Assessment Tool for Non-Randomized Studies (RoBANS 2). Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), sclerostin, osteoprotegerin (OPG), and interleukin-34 (IL-34) emerged as significant biomarkers in GCF, and they were mainly from periodontitis and osteoporosis. Osteocalcin (OC), IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), OPG, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) were significant in oral fluid or saliva, and they were from periodontitis, MRONJ, and osteoporosis. These findings underscore the potential use of oral fluids, which are regarded as non-invasive tools for biomarker identification in bone turnover. Many biomarkers overlap, and it is important to identify other specific biomarkers to enable accurate diagnosis of these conditions.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a rare condition, typically seen in patients receiving antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drugs. This study aims to synthesize reports and case series of MRONJ regarding sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments applied. Following PRISMA guidelines, a search for case reports and case series was carried out in the PubMed-Medline database until March 2024. A total of 88 articles were included in this review, in a total of 151 cases. The key findings reveal that females were the most affected individuals (71% of the cases) with the average age at diagnosis being 66.27 years with a standard deviation of ±13.03. Stage 2 was the most observed stage, in 43% of cases, and zoledronic acid was the most commonly used drug (32% of cases). The oral route was the most common route of administration, in 26% of cases, with an average administration duration of 60.88 months (standard deviation ± 50.92). The mandible was the most commonly affected anatomical location (in 60% of cases). Amoxicillin + clavulanic acid (875 mg + 125 mg) and chlorhexidine (0.12%) were the most used antibiotics and mouthwash, with 16% and 26% of the cases, respectively. Surgical debridement was the most common surgical procedure, in 32% of cases, while the use of an L-PRF membrane was the most prevalent unconventional treatment, in 21% of cases. This study identified a statistically significant relationship between unconventional treatments and the cure of MRONJ (p < 0.001), indicating the need for further research to confirm these results.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) using 660 and 808 nm diode lasers (individual and in combination) on periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells (PDLSCs) in the presence of zoledronic acid (ZA). PDLSCs were cultured for 48 h in DMEM complete medium containing 5 μM ZA. PBMT was done three times with a 24-h interval in groups 1 (660 nm, 5 J/cm2), 2 (880 nm, 3 J/cm2), and 3 (660 + 808 nm) either in normal or ZA-treated culture medium. Control groups did not receive PBMT. Twenty-four hours post-irradiation, cell proliferation and expression of RANKL and OPG were assessed using MTT and real-time PCR tests, respectively. The results showed a significant decrease in cell viability in ZA-treated cells (p < 0.001). Additionally, ZA induced the expression of OPG (p = 0.03) while reducing RANKL (p < 0.001). Cell proliferation was significantly increased in 808 and 660 + 808 nm groups. Moreover, all PBMT groups could significantly increase and decrease the RANKL and OPG, respectively, in the presence of ZA (all p < 0.001). A combination of 660 + 808 nm showed the highest effects on both genes. In conclusion, it seems that PBMT can modulate the effects of ZA by inducing PDLSC proliferation and increasing RANKL-to-OPG gene expression ratio.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a drug complication that can occur in patients taking antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drugs. Although it is a well-documented disease, there is no widely accepted treatment. However, several therapeutic approaches have been proposed. The surgical approach in many advanced cases appears inevitable; however, the results are not yet defined and predictable. This study aimed to propose a combined surgical approach with a piezoelectric device and laser (Er:YAG for bone ablation and Nd:YAG laser for photobiomodulation) in a young patient with breast cancer and bone metastasis under denosumab treatment, affected by spontaneous stage 3 MRONJ with maxillary sinus involvement. The patient under study reported no post-operative discomfort, with painkiller intake limited to the day after surgery. Total mucosal healing was observed without recurrences for more than 4 years after surgery. According to the results of our preliminary study, a combined surgical approach using a piezoelectric device and laser therapy is effective in managing patients affected by MRONJ, leveraging the clinical and biological advantages of these different techniques.

Abstract
Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) is characterized by bone exposure in the oral and maxillofacial region for more than eight weeks in patients treated with anti-resorptive agents, immunosuppressants, or anti-angiogenic agents, without prior radiation therapy or metastatic disease to the jaws. Conservative treatments can control infection in mild cases, but surgical intervention is necessary for patients with severe symptoms. A 78-year-old female with a history of bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis presented with persistent pain, swelling, and malodor following implant placement in the upper right maxilla. SPECT/CT imaging revealed a high-risk hot spot in the right maxillary region. BIS-guided surgery using the Qray pen-C was performed, selectively removing red fluorescent bone tissue. The defect was grafted with HuBT incorporated with rhBMP-2. Postoperative follow-ups at 4, 7, and 14 months showed successful bone healing, transforming into a corticocancellous complex, and implant placement without MRONJ recurrence. Allogeneic demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) incorporated with rhBMP-2 demonstrates effective bone healing and implant placement following BIS-guided MRONJ surgery. This case supports the use of DDM/rhBMP-2 for tissue regeneration in MRONJ treatment, enabling successful prosthetic restoration without recurrence.

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.

Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw and Oral Microbiome: Clinical Risk Factors, Pathophysiology and Treatment Options. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8053. [PMID: 39125621 PMCID: PMC11311822 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25158053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) represents a serious health condition, impacting the lives of many patients worldwide. The condition challenges clinical care due to its complex etiology and limited therapeutic options. A thorough understanding of the pathophysiological and patient-related factors that promote disease development is essential. Recently, the oral microbiome has been implicated as a potential driver and modulating factor of BRONJ by several studies. Modern genomic sequencing methods have provided a wealth of data on the microbial composition of BRONJ lesions; however, the role of individual species in the process of disease development remains elusive. A comprehensive PubMed search was conducted to identify relevant studies on the microbiome of BRONJ patients using the terms "microbiome", "osteonecrosis of the jaws", and "bisphosphonates". Studies focusing on symptoms, epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, and treatment options were included. The principal risk factors for BRONJ are tooth extraction, surgical procedures, and the administration of high doses of bisphosphonates. Importantly, the oral microbiome plays a significant role in the progression of the disease. Several studies have identified alterations of microbial composition in BRONJ lesions. However, there is no consensus regarding bacterial species that are associated with BRONJ across studies. The bacterial genera typically found include Actinomyces, Fusobacterium, and Streptococcus. It is postulated that these microbes contribute to the pathogenesis of BRONJ by promoting inflammation and disrupting normal bone remodeling processes. Current therapeutic approaches are disease-stage-specific and the necessity for more effective treatment strategies remains. This review examines the potential causes of and therapeutic approaches to BRONJ, highlighting the link between microbial colonization and BRONJ development. Future research should seek to more thoroughly investigate the interactions between bisphosphonates, the oral microbiome, and the immune system in order to develop targeted therapies.

Abstract
Nintedanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is a cornerstone in the management of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis through its anti-fibrotic effects; however, its impact on wound healing is less studied. We present a case of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) following the initiation of nintedanib. The patient's presentation prompted a drug holiday of nintedanib, resulting in a marked improvement in her symptoms. MRONJ is a disease requiring a high index of suspicion, and the number of inciting medications continues to rise. Nintedanib, as an inhibitor of angiogenesis, may have contributed to poor wound healing following dental extraction, subsequently leading to MRONJ.

Abstract
There is a lack of consensus on managing resultant bone and soft tissue defects or on restoring oral function and aesthetics following medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) lesion healing. This clinical challenge presents a dilemma for practitioners. Removable prostheses pose a recurrence risk if poorly fitted and may inadequately restore function or aesthetics in cases of significant bone defect. Dental implant-supported prostheses could enhance function and quality of life, though their risks and indications are not well-defined. This systematic review examines the clinical outcomes and complications associated with implant-supported rehabilitations post-MRONJ surgery. This study was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement recommendations and it was pre-registered in the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42023492539).

Abstract Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a rare complication of the jaws following the administration of antiresorptive or antiangiogenic drugs. This condition poses a major challenge to its management. We present an appraisal of the literature and three cases of MRONJ. An appraisal of 3 patients who presented to the oral and maxillofacial clinic with MRONJ was done. Relevant physical examination findings, radiological images, clinical photographs and follow-up was documented. One patient had multiple myeloma while the other two had metastatic cancer. All had received zoledronic acid before developing MRONJ. One patient was surgically treated and successfully recovered while two were managed conservatively. Patients taking antiresorptive medications are at risk of developing MRONJ. Prevention and management of the condition calls for a multidisciplinary collaboration. Patients taking antiresorptive medications need good education on the risks associated with the medications and how to recognize early signs and symptoms.

Abstract
Background/purpose Local infection is a risk factor for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), along with invasive dental treatment of the bone; the tooth that is the source of infection should be extracted prior to the administration of bone resorption inhibitors. However, which teeth should be extracted remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the relationship between dental findings prior to high-dose antiresorptive agent (ARA) administration and the subsequent development of MRONJ. Materials and methods Patients with cancer who were scheduled to receive high-dose ARAs and referred to our hospital between 2011 and 2020 were included in this retrospective study. Apical lesions, enlargement of the periodontal space, thickening of the lamina dura, alveolar bone resorption of >1/3, periapical osteosclerosis, and local infection symptoms in each tooth were investigated using medical records and panoramic radiographs. Results A total of 172 patients, 329 jaws, and 3734 teeth were registered. MRONJ developed in 68 teeth in 33 jaws of 32 patients. In tooth-by-tooth analysis, fewer teeth (P < 0.001), apical lesions (P < 0.001), periapical osteosclerosis (P < 0.001), local infection symptoms (P = 0.002), and one or more dental findings (P < 0.001) were significant factors for MRONJ development. In jaw-by-jaw analysis, old age, local infection symptoms, and number of radiographic abnormalities per tooth were significant. In patient-by-patient analysis, patients with diabetes and those with fewer teeth developed MRONJ. Conclusion Patients with fewer teeth, apical lesions, periapical osteosclerosis, and local infection were more likely to develop MRONJ. Therefore, these teeth should be treated as much as possible before ARA administration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) have been characterized with the use of oral bisphosphonates in osteoporosis and zoledronate in oncology. Uncertainties remain, though, with the occurrence of BRONJ related to the use of zoledronate in osteoporosis. OBJECTIVES We aimed to estimate the incidence and characterize the risk factors of zoledronate-associated BRONJ in osteoporosis as compared with oral bisphosphonates in real life setting. METHODS Cases of BRONJ associated with zoledronate, alendronate or risedronate were extracted from the French pharmacovigilance database up to 2020. The incidence of BRONJ was estimated as their respective numbers related to cases of BRONJ in patients treated with bisphosphonates for osteoporosis, over the same period, according to the Medic'AM database. RESULTS Between 2011 and 2020, BRONJ incidence with zoledronate was 9.6/100,000 patient-year (PY), significantly higher than with alendronate (5.1/100,000 PY, P<0.001), and risedronate (2.0/100,000 PY, P<0.001). The number of patients treated with bisphosphonates has steadily decreased by 44.5% over 10 years. Meanwhile, the incidence of BRONJ decreased (5.8/100,000 PY in 2011; 1.5/100,000 in 2020), although a rebound was observed in 2018, including 47.6% of BRONJ following denosumab. Apart from classical risk factors, recent dental cares stood out in more than 40% of BRONJ, and zoledronate had a shorter exposure time than oral bisphosphonates. CONCLUSIONS In a real-life setting, our data confirm that zoledronate-associated BRONJ in osteoporosis is scarce, seeming slightly more common compared with oral bisphosphonates. We also raise awareness of dental care guidelines and greater vigilance when using bisphosphonates in patients with previous exposure to denosumab.

Abstract
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of thymoquinone (TMQ) treatment in osteonecrotic rats by evaluating protein levels, osteonecrosis (ON) levels, fatty acid degeneration, oxidative status, and plasma levels of Urotensin-II (U-II) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β1). Materials and Methods: 40 weight-matched adult male Wistar rats were grouped as control (n = 10), methylprednisolone acetate (MPA) (n = 10), thymoquinone (TMQ) (n = 10), and MPA + TMQ (n = 10). To induce ON, 15-week-old animals were subcutaneously injected with MPA at a dose of 15 mg/kg twice weekly for 2 weeks. TMQ was injected into 15-week-old rats via gastric gavage at a dose of 80 mg/kg per day for 4 weeks. The rats in the MPA + TMQ group were administered TMQ 2 weeks before the MPA injection. At the end of the treatments, cardiac blood samples and femur samples were collected for biochemical and histological evaluations. Results: In the control and TMQ groups, no ON pattern was observed. However, in tissues exposed to MPA, TMQ treatment resulted in significantly decreased ON levels compared to the MPA group. The number of cells that were positive for 8-OHdG and 4-HNE was significantly lower in the MPA + TMQ group than in the MPA group (p < 0.05). In terms of TGF-β1 and U-II levels, we observed that both TGF-β1 (367.40 ± 23.01 pg/mL vs. 248.9 ± 20.12 pg/mL) and U-II protein levels (259.5 ± 6.0 ng/mL vs. 168.20 ± 7.90 ng/mL) increased significantly in the MPA group compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Furthermore, TGF-β1 (293.50 ± 14.18 pg/mL) and U-II (174.80 ± 4.2 ng/mL) protein levels were significantly decreased in the MPA + TMQ group compared to the MPA group (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively). There was a statistically positive correlation (p < 0.05) between the TGF-β1 and U-II protein levels in all groups (p = 0.002, rcontrol = 0.890; p = 0.02, rTMQ = 0.861; p = 0.024, rMPA+TMQ = 0.868) except for the MPA group (p < 0.03, rMedrol = -0.870). Conclusions: As far as we know, this is the first study to demonstrate the curative functions of TMQ on ON by causing a correlated decrease in the expression of U-II and TGF-β1 in the femoral heads of rats.

[PMID: 37720502 PMCID: PMC10501800 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1164051] [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: 02/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose This systematic review was performed to assess the potential influence of medication-induced salivary changes on the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Methods An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Embase databases for articles published up to June 2023. A risk of bias assessment was performed according to the modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Due to the heterogeneity of the selected studies in relation to the type of medications and outcomes evaluated, a meta-analysis could not be performed. Results The initial search revealed 765 studies. Only 10 articles were found to be eligible based on the inclusion criteria that reported on the impact of salivary changes on MRONJ following the administration of different medications. A total of 272 cases of MRONJ (35% women, 32% men, and 32% with no gender reported) with a mean age of 66 years at the time of diagnosis were included. Patients administered with bisphosphonates, steroids, chemotherapy, thalidomide, interferon, and hormone therapy had a significantly higher association between decreased salivary flow and MRONJ occurrence. In addition, bisphosphonates, denosumab, and other bone-modifying agents showed a significantly higher risk of developing MRONJ owing to the changes in salivary microbiome profiles, cytokine profiles, interleukins, hypotaurine, and binding proteins. Conclusion The reduction in salivary flow and changes in the concentration of salivary proteins were associated with the development of MRONJ. However, due to the availability of limited evidence, the findings of the review should be interpreted with caution.

Abstract
The skeletal system is an extraordinary structure that serves multiple purposes within the body, including providing support, facilitating movement, and safeguarding vital organs. Moreover, it acts as a reservoir for essential minerals crucial for overall bodily function. The intricate interplay of bone cells plays a critical role in maintaining bone homeostasis, ensuring a delicate balance. However, various factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic, can disrupt this vital physiological process. These factors encompass genetics, aging, dietary and lifestyle choices, the gut microbiome, environmental toxins, and more. They can interfere with bone health through several mechanisms, such as hormonal imbalances, disruptions in bone turnover, direct toxicity to osteoblasts, increased osteoclast activity, immune system aging, impaired inflammatory responses, and disturbances in the gut-bone axis. As a consequence, these disturbances can give rise to a range of bone disorders. The regulation of bone's physiological functions involves an intricate network of continuous processes known as bone remodeling, which is influenced by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors within the organism. However, our understanding of the precise cellular and molecular mechanisms governing the complex interactions between environmental factors and the host elements that affect bone health is still in its nascent stages. In light of this, this comprehensive review aims to explore emerging evidence surrounding bone homeostasis, potential risk factors influencing it, and prospective therapeutic interventions for future management of bone-related disorders.

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.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a major complication of bisphosphonate treatment in cancer patients, and its etiology is not completely clarified. The study's goal is to find connections between the clinical and histopathological characteristics of osteonecrosis and bisphosphonates in a cohort of cancer patients who had osteonecrosis treated surgically. The retrospective study includes 51 patients of both sexes, aged 46 to 85 years, who underwent surgical treatment for MRONJ in two oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics (Craiova and Constanța). Demographic, clinical, and imaging data from the records of patients with osteonecrosis were analyzed. The surgical treatment removed the necrotic bone, and the harvested fragments were analyzed from a histopathological perspective. The histopathological examination data were evaluated and statistically processed to look for viable bone, granulation tissue, bacterial colonies, and inflammatory infiltrate. In the study groups, MRONJ was found particularly in the posterior regions of the mandible. Tooth extraction, but also periapical or periodontal infections, represented the trigger factors in most of the cases. The surgical therapy consisted of sequestrectomy or bone resection, and the histopathological examination of the fragments revealed osteonecrosis-specific features, such as the lack of bone cells, the development of an inflammatory infiltrate, and the existence of bacterial colonies. MRONJ in cancer patients receiving zoledronic acid is a severe complication that significantly lowers quality of life. Since these patients are not usually monitored by the dentist, they are identified in advanced stages of MRONJ. For these patients, thorough dental monitoring could reduce the incidence of osteonecrosis and its related complications.

Abstract
Inflammatory jaw bone diseases are common in stomatology, including periodontitis, peri-implantitis, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, radiation osteomyelitis of the jaw, age-related osteoporosis, and other specific infections. These diseases may lead to tooth loss and maxillofacial deformities, severely affecting patients' quality of life. Over the years, the reconstruction of jaw bone deficiency caused by inflammatory diseases has emerged as a medical and socioeconomic challenge. Therefore, exploring the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases associated with jaw bones is crucial for improving prognosis and developing new targeted therapies. Accumulating evidence indicates that the integrated bone formation and dysfunction arise from complex interactions among a network of multiple cell types, including osteoblast-associated cells, immune cells, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels. However, the role of these different cells in the inflammatory process and the 'rules' with which they interact are still not fully understood. Although many investigations have focused on specific pathological processes and molecular events in inflammatory jaw diseases, few articles offer a perspective of integration. Here, we review the changes and mechanisms of various cell types in inflammatory jaw diseases, with the hope of providing insights to drive future research in this field.

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.
