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
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
Background and Objectives: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a disease that affects many patients taking anti-angiogenic and antiresorptive medicines. Since the pathogenetic mechanism is still partially unknown, preventive strategies, as well as treatment alternatives, are needed. Therefore, the aim of this research is to describe the main evidence from the last 10 years of clinical trials regarding the use of auxiliary devices such as autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) and laser, other than their effects against MRONJ disease onset or therapy. Advantages in the healing process and recurrence rates were also analyzed. Materials and Methods: A systematic search of the electronic databases of PubMed and Scopus was carried out. Data from the studies were analyzed, and the risk of bias was evaluated. Results: Nineteen studies between interventional studies, observational studies, and cohort studies have been considered in this review. Conclusions: Based on the studies included, the literature analysis shows that APCs could be a beneficial alternative in preventing and treating MRONJ. Laser technology, as a surgical tool or used on the antimicrobial photodynamic or photobiomodulation side, has been becoming increasingly popular in the last few years. The latest proposal concerning the combination of both auxiliary tools suggests interesting effects, but more studies should be conducted to evaluate eventual relapses and long-term consequences.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a relatively rare but serious adverse drug reaction in patients under bone-targeting or antiangiogenic medication for malignant or osteometabolic diseases. The pathogenesis of MRONJ is multifactorial with the inhibition of osteoclasts and angiogenesis considered to play a keyrole in an individually susceptible environment, thus its prevalence is highly differentiated according to each study. Even though MRONJ has been reported since 2003 and the literature is expanding rapidly about possible risk factors, prevention and treatment options, the successful management with no recurrence is still under controversy. The conservative non-surgical (optimal oral hygiene, systemic antibiotic therapy) and surgical procedures (debridement, sequestrectomy or bone resection) are considered the treatment of choice especially at the early stages. Adjuvant therapies have been proposed to further stimulate bone and tissue healing such as teriparatide, bone morphogenic proteins, platelet concentrates, hyperbaric oxygen, ozone therapy, photodynamic therapy and lasers with promising results. The need to develop minimally invasive treatment protocols using novel technologies in particular for those patients with severe medical history has been highlighted in the literature. The clinical protocol that has been developed in our dental department, which is effectively contributing to MRONJ management and associates Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) with platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF), will be presented in this article.

Abstract
Simple Summary Autologous platelet concentrates with high growth factor levels are used in many fields of dentistry. In recent years, the critical role of blood-derived materials in bone and soft tissue engineering has become apparent. After tooth extraction, the alveolar bone is exposed to progressive bone resorption, which can lead to difficulties in implant placement. Hence, many studies have demonstrated that APCs have the potential for soft tissue and bone regeneration. Furthermore, no inflammatory reactions occur, and they may be used alone or in combination with bone grafts, promoting bone growth and maturation. Moreover, the released growth factors and the presence of fibrin structures can induce osteogenesis. This review aims to provide information regarding the applications, indications, advantages, and disadvantages of three APC techniques in hard tissue regeneration. Abstract Over recent years, the usage of autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) has risen in hard tissue regeneration and oral implantology. The purpose of the present review is to offer an overview of the use of three APC techniques in dentistry: platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), and concentrated growth factor (CGF). A narrative summary of articles published between January 2011 and April 2022 is provided. The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Embase databases were used to conduct the search. The following keywords were used in the preliminary: “VEGF”, “TGF-b1”, “PRP”, “PRF”, “CGF”, AND “sinus augmentation” OR “implants” OR “peri-implantitis” OR “socket preservation” OR “MRONJ”. A total of 82 articles was finally included. The review then takes into account the application of the three techniques in different areas of treatment—including oral implantology, sinus floor elevation, peri-implantitis, socket preservation, and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ)—as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

Factors Exacerbating Clinical Symptoms and CT Findings in Patients with Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw Receiving Conservative Therapy: A Multicenter Retrospective Study of 53 Cases. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19137854. [PMID: 35805513 PMCID: PMC9265462 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19137854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Recent reports have shown that better treatment outcomes are obtained with surgical therapy in patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) than with conservative therapy. However, conservative treatment is selected due to factors such as old age and poor general condition. Conservative therapy aims to relieve symptoms and prevent lesion exacerbation; however, the lesion may expand rapidly in some cases. This study investigated the clinical and imaging findings of 53 MRONJ patients undergoing conservative therapy, and the changes in the clinical findings and the lesion enlargement on CT imaging were examined. Improved clinical findings and no worsening of the imaging findings were considered overall comprehensive treatment successes. Among the 53 patients, the clinical symptoms disappeared or improved in 15 patients, whereas they worsened in 6. In contrast, osteolytic lesion enlargement occurred in 17 patients. The comprehensive treatment outcome of conservative therapy was successful in 12 patients and unsuccessful in 41 patients. The periosteal reaction was significantly correlated with poor comprehensive treatment outcomes (p = 0.038). MRONJ lesions may advance, even if they appear to improve clinically while undergoing conservative treatments. Patients, especially those with periosteal reactions, must be closely followed up with CT examinations, regardless of the clinical findings.

Abstract
The significant clinical feature of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is the exposure of the necrotic jaw. Other clinical manifestations include jaw pain, swelling, abscess, and skin fistula, which seriously affect the patients’ life, and there is no radical cure. Thus, new methods need to be found to prevent the occurrence of BRONJ. Here, a novel nanoparticle, tFNA-KLT, was successfully synthesized by us, in which the nanoparticle tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (tFNA) was used for carrying angiogenic peptide, KLT, and then further enhanced angiogenesis. TFNA-KLT possessed the same characteristics as tFNA, such as simple synthesis, stable structure, and good biocompatibility. Meanwhile, tFNA enhanced the stability of KLT and carried more KLT to interact with endothelial cells. First, it was confirmed that tFNA-KLT had the superior angiogenic ability to tFNA and KLT both in vitro and in vivo. Then we apply tFNA-KLT to the prevention of BRONJ. The results showed that tFNA-KLT can effectively prevent the occurrence of BRONJ by accelerating angiogenesis. In summary, the prepared novel nanoparticle, tFNA-KLT, was firstly synthesized by us. It was also firstly confirmed by us that tFNA-KLT significantly enhanced angiogenesis and can effectively prevent the occurrence of BRONJ by accelerating angiogenesis, thus providing a new avenue for the prevention of BRONJ and a new choice for therapeutic angiogenesis. ![]()

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

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

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

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this present study was to evaluate the efficiency of the growth factors delivered by concentrated growth factor (CGF) on the healing process of osteoporotic patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). METHODS This randomized controlled study was composed of osteoporotic female patients who were treated with oral bisphosphonates (BPs) and diagnosed with MRONJ. For the CGF group, each patient was treated with a local application of CGF at the surgical site after removing the necrotic bone, while the surgical area was primarily closed as traditional surgical therapy for the control group. The patients underwent clinical examinations for 6 months postoperatively to check the presence of infection and dehiscence. RESULTS Complete healing was achieved in 19 patients of 28 patients (mean age: CGF group, 73.57 ± 5.1; control group, 73.64 ± 5.49) diagnosed with MRONJ. There was no significant difference in post-op healing data between groups during healing periods (p > 0.05). In the CGF group (n = 14) in three cases, bone exposure without infection was detected, and one of them showed a recurrent infection. In the control group (n = 14) in six cases, bone exposure without infection was detected, and three of them also showed recurrent infection. CONCLUSION Although our results were not statistically significant, our findings suggest that the local application of CGF appears to be an effective approach to the surgical treatment of MRONJ in osteoporosis patients by improving tissue regeneration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE A specific treatment protocol to manage MRONJ is still controversial. This study justifies that CGF can be used in combination with surgical treatment.

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

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Dental Extraction of Patients at Risk of Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws: A Two-Year Longitudinal Study. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
Dental extraction has often been described as the main trigger event of osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ). This longitudinal hospital-based study aimed to evaluate the outcome at 2 years of a standardized medical-surgical protocol for dental extraction, combined with platelet rich-plasma (PRP) application, compared with conventional protocol not combined with PRP or any other autologous platelet concentrate in cancer (ONC) and osteometabolic (OST) patients, at risk of bisphosphonate (BP)-related ONJ. Twenty patients were consecutively recruited: six received BPs for cancer skeletal-related events (34.17 ± 19.97 months), while fourteen received BPs for metabolic bone disease (74.5 ± 34.73 months). These patients underwent a standardized protocol for dental extraction, combined with autologous PRP application in the post-extraction socket. A total of 63 dental extractions were performed (24 and 39 in ONC and OST groups, respectively). As controls, historical cases, derived from the literature and including 171 ONC and 734 OST patients, were considered. The outcome of the surgical treatment was successful in all patients treated with PRP: two years after extraction, no patient had clinical or radiological signs of ONJ. When this datum was compared with historical controls, no statistically significant differences were found (p > 0.1). The combination of a standardized medical-surgical protocol with PRP application may contribute to limit the occurrence of BP-related ONJ, in both ONC and OST patients. Additional prospective studies with a larger patient sample are necessary to confirm this datum.

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

Abstract
Objective It has been proved that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can promote wound healing. In this way, PRP can be advantageous in periodontal plastic surgeries, free gingival graft (FGG) being one such surgery. Materials and Methods In this randomized split-mouth controlled trial, 10 patients who needed bilateral FGG were selected, and two donor sites were randomly assigned to experience either natural healing or healing-assisted with PRP. The outcome was assessed based on the comparison of the extent of wound closure, Manchester scale, Landry healing scale, visual analog scale, and tissue thickness between the study groups at different time intervals. Statistical Analysis Used Repeated measurements of analysis of variance and paired t-test were used. Statistical significance was P ≤ 0.05. Results Significant differences between the study groups and also across different time intervals were seen in all parameters except for the changes in tissue thickness. Conclusion PRP accelerates the healing process of wounds and reduces the healing time.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of local application of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the tooth extraction site of rats presenting the main risk factors for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). For seven weeks, senile rats were submitted to systemic treatment with vehicle (VEH and VEH-PRP) or 100 μg/Kg of zoledronate (ZOL and ZOL-PRP) every three days. After three weeks, the first lower molar was extracted. VEH-PRP and ZOL-PRP received PRP at the tooth extraction site. Euthanasia was performed at 28 days postoperatively. Clinical, histopathological, histometric and immunohistochemical analyses were carried out in histological sections from the tooth extraction site. ZOL showed lower percentage of newly formed bone tissue (NFBT), higher percentage of non-vital bone tissue (NVBT), as well as higher immunolabeling for TNFα and IL-1β. In addition, ZOL presented lower immunolabeling for PCNA, VEGF, BMP2/4, OCN and TRAP. VEH and ZOL-PRP showed improvement in the tooth extraction site wound healing and comparable percentage of NFBT, VEGF, BMP2/4 and OCN. Local application of autologous PRP proved a viable preventive therapy, which is safe and effective to restore tissue repair capacity of the tooth extraction site and prevent the occurrence of MRONJ following tooth extraction.

Abstract
Introduction The management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), with no evidence-based guidelines, remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a conservative surgical treatment combining Er,Cr:YSGG laser and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of BRONJ in cancer patients. Methods We performed a longitudinal cohort study. Inclusion criteria were (1) age ≥ 18 years; (2) cancer diagnosis; (3) treatment with NBP because of the underlying cancer. Results We consecutively recruited ten patients diagnosed with BRONJ in stage I or II. These patients underwent a surgical laser-assisted therapy together with autologous PRP. At the latest follow-up at 12 months, clinical improvement was observed in eight patients. Registration Number is IRCT20180329039159N1. Conclusion We could successfully manage the BRONJ utilizing this combined protocol to heal the 30% of surgically treated sites and to improve the 50% of patients' lesions clinically. Our findings suggest that a surgical approach combined with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and PRP benefit cancer patients with general health issues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The most debated topic about medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is its therapy, as there are no definitive guidelines. The aims of this systematic review were (a) to outline the best therapeutic approach according to the stage at diagnosis and (b) to perform a meta-analysis to assess whether the drug-holiday protocol may be or not an effective method in the management of MRONJ patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The systematic review was performed following the PRISMA principles. Results were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria regarding staging before/after treatment, follow-up, and information provided by the authors. For statistical analysis, linear variables are reported as means and standard deviations, medians, and inter-quartile range (IQR); normality of data, according to the distribution of complete healing (primary outcome variable), was assessed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant for all tests. RESULTS Thirteen studies were selected out of 1480. None of them was case-controlled or randomized. Conservative approach showed good results at early stages, but heterogeneous result at advanced stages (100% stage 0, stage I range 81-97%, stage II range 63.6-100%, stage III 73%). Surgical approach showed heterogeneous results at all stages (stage I range 0-100%, stage II range 52-100%, stage III range 50-100%). Statistical analysis showed a significantly higher prevalence of completely healed sites in patients who followed the drug-holiday protocol. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that the current stage-specific approach for MRONJ therapy is based on a sound clinical rationale. Conservative treatment appears to yield better outcomes at early stages, while further investigations are needed to elucidate the best protocols for the management of advanced stages. The drug-holiday protocol statistically promotes complete healing after oral surgery procedures but the application should be dictated by the condition of each patient. CLINICAL RELEVANCE At present, early MRONJ stages should be primarily treated by means of a conservative approach while more advanced stages must be carefully evaluated. Individual decisions should be made for every single case even with respect to the drug-holiday protocol.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a severe complication of therapy with antiresorptive agents (e.g. bisphosphonates and denosumab), which are used to manage bone metastases from cancer, to reduce the incidence of skeletal-related events. Available data indicate that 0-27, 5% of patients exposed to antiresorptive agents may develop ONJ, depending on the number of infusions and the duration of therapy. Besides antiresorptive therapy, a number of risk factors for osteonecrosis have been identified. Oral surgical procedures, tooth extractions and infection to the jawbones are considered the main risk factors for developing ONJ, when receiving antiresorptive therapy. However, a growing number of patients develop ONJ without apparent risk factors, raising concern for other predisposing factors. Jaw bone necrosis may be irreversible, resulting in a chronic disease with negative impact on the quality of patients' lives. The role of risk reduction strategies like meticulous dental screening and optimal oral hygiene is fundamental for preventing development of ONJ. ONJ is usually treated conservatively to relieve the symptoms and manage jaw bone necrosis. In certain cases, surgical intervention is required. Future research should emphasize individual predisposition to ONJ, more effective preventive measures and more efficient therapeutic procedures.

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

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The specialty of periodontology has changed dramatically in recent years. With the long-standing goal of retaining teeth in a functional and esthetical state, the periodontology has developed a high level of expertise in the regeneration of bone and connective tissues that support the teeth. However, periodontists have also joined maxillofacial surgeons as the primary providers of implant surgery. METHODS The tremendous innovations of periodontists induced also by the marketplace resulted in predictable periodontal treatment outcomes for most patients by the implants led to a dramatically different marketplace in which many patients with periodontitis can be treated by the implants rather than the traditional periodontal treatment. RESULTS The aim of this article is to focus on the innovator's dilemma for periodontists today is that key elements of our rewarding contributions to dentistry in recent decades are unlikely to be part of a strong and rewarding future for the profession. CONCLUSIONS With the intriguing role of the personalized medicine approach that integrates genomic and clinical information to predict a possible predisposition, we do not suggest a reduced role for periodontists in dental implant surgery but rather a more prominent role in complex cases to achieve surgical implant needs and proper reconstruction and long-term maintenance of the patient's health.

Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw: New Insights into Molecular Mechanisms and Cellular Therapeutic Approaches. Stem Cells Int 2016; 2016:8768162.

Abstract
In recent years, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) became an arising disease due to the important antiresorptive drug prescriptions to treat oncologic and osteoporotic patients, as well as the use of new antiangiogenic drugs such as VEGF antagonist. So far, MRONJ physiopathogenesis still remains unclear. Aiming to better understand MRONJ physiopathology, the first objective of this review would be to highlight major molecular mechanisms that are known to be involved in bone formation and remodeling. Recent development in MRONJ pharmacological treatments showed good results; however, those treatments are not curative and could have major side effects. In parallel to pharmacological treatments, MSC grafts appeared to be beneficial in the treatment of MRONJ, in multiple aspects: (1) recruitment and stimulation of local or regional endogenous cells to differentiate into osteoblasts and thus bone formation, (2) beneficial impact on bone remodeling, and (3) immune-modulatory properties that decrease inflammation. In this context, the second objective of this manuscript would be to summarize the molecular regulatory events controlling osteogenic differentiation, bone remodeling, and osteoimmunology and potential beneficial effects of MSC related to those aspects, in order to apprehend MRONJ and to develop new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
AIM Bone osteoradionecrosis is a serious complication of radiation treatment. Current treatment approaches are not curative and treatment response is often poor leading to high social and healthcare costs. CASE REPORT We report on the first case of osteoradionecrosis with successful restitutio ab integro by repeated administration of platelet gel (PLT-gel) and surgery in a critically ill patient. The administration of PLT-gel during a severe septic episode helped regeneration of bone and soft tissues, shortening the hospital stay of the patient. It was also noted that following applications of PLT-gel, both the use of morphine and the numbers of infective episodes were reduced. CONCLUSION Additional studies are needed to confirm the promising effect of PLT-gel for the treatment of osteoradionecrosis.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonate drugs can be used to prevent and treat osteoporosis and to reduce symptoms and complications of metastatic bone disease; however, they are associated with a rare but serious adverse event: osteonecrosis of the maxillary and mandibular bones. This condition is called bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw or BRONJ. BRONJ is diagnosed when people who are taking, or have previously taken, bisphosphonates have exposed bone in the jaw area for more than eight weeks in the absence of radiation treatment. There is currently no "gold standard" of treatment for BRONJ. The three broad categories of intervention are conservative approaches (e.g. mouth rinse, antibiotics), surgical interventions and adjuvant non-surgical strategies (e.g. hyperbaric oxygen therapy, platelet-rich plasma), which can be used in combination. OBJECTIVES To determine the efficacy and safety of any intervention aimed at treating BRONJ. SEARCH METHODS We searched the following databases to 15 December 2015: the Cochrane Oral Health Group Trials Register, the Cochrane Breast Cancer Group Trials Register (20 September 2011), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE via Ovid, EMBASE via Ovid, CancerLit via PubMed, CINAHL via EBSCO and AMED via Ovid. We scanned the references cited in retrieved articles and contacted experts in the field, the first authors of included papers, study sponsors, other bisphosphonates investigators and pharmaceutical companies. We searched for ongoing trials through contact with trialists and by searching the US National Institutes of Health Trials Register (clinicaltrials.gov) and the World Health Organization Clinical Trials Registry Platform. We also conducted a grey literature search to September 2015. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effects of any treatment for BRONJ with another treatment or placebo. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently screened the search results, assessed the risk of bias in the included trials and extracted data. When in dispute, we consulted a third review author. MAIN RESULTS One small trial at high risk of bias met the inclusion criteria. The trial randomised 49 participants, most of whom had cancer. It compared standard care (defined as surgery, antibiotics and oral rinses at the discretion of the oral-maxillofacial surgeon) to standard care plus hyperbaric oxygen therapy (2 atmospheres twice a day for 40 treatments). The trial measured the percentage of participants who improved or healed at three, six, 12 and 18 months and last contact. It also measured mean weekly pain scores.At three months, the study found that the participants in intervention group were more likely to have an improvement in their osteonecrosis than the standard care group participants (risk ratio (RR) 1.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01 to 3.74). There was no clear difference between the groups for the outcome 'healed' at three months (RR 3.60, 95% CI 0.87 to 14.82). There was no clear difference between the groups for improvement or healing when they were evaluated at six, 12 and 18 months and last contact.The study did not give any information on adverse events.Although the findings suggest adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen improved BRONJ, the quality of the evidence is very low since the only study was underpowered and was at high risk of bias due to lack of blinding, cross-over of participants between groups and very high attrition (50% at 12 months and 80% at 18 months in this study, which was designed for an intended follow-up of 24 months). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There is a lack of evidence from randomised controlled trials to guide treatment of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). One small trial at high risk of bias evaluated hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) as an adjunct to "standard" care and could not confirm or refute the effectiveness of HBO. There are two ongoing trials of teriparatide treatment for BRONJ. We found no randomised controlled trials of any other BRONJ treatments. High quality randomised controlled trials are needed. We provide recommendations for their focus and design.

Abstract
PURPOSE Surgical management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) has been performed in an attempt to increase healing rates of the affected cases. This literature review aimed to identify clinical studies of surgical management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) in order to assess their surgical treatment modalities, outcome and the follow-up. METHODS A search in the PubMed (Medline) database using specific terms and/or phrases as "bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis" or "jaw osteonecrosis", and "surgical treatment" or "surgical management" was conducted in order to identify clinical trials and cases of surgical treatment of BRONJ. The review search covered the time period from 2004 to 2014. All studies identified in the search were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Relevant information was recorded according to the following items: author, year, number of patients, BRONJ clinical stage, surgical treatment modality, clinical success, and follow-up. RESULTS The initial database search yielded 345 titles. After filtering, 67 abstracts were selected culminating in 67 full text articles. A variety of surgical approach was found in this review: debridement, sequestrectomy bone resection, and bone reconstruction. Adjunctive therapies included hyperbaric oxygen, laser therapy, growth factors, and ozone. CONCLUSION Although there are many indexed studies about BRONJ, well-documented reports concerning surgical therapeutically techniques are scarce, resulting from a lack of well-established protocols. Considerable differences were found regarding sample size, surgical treatment modalities and outcomes. Clinical studies with larger number of patients and longer follow-up are required to provide best information for each surgical treatment modality and its outcomes.

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