Cureus 2023; 15:e42619.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) may arise in the the alveolar ridge (in a minority of cases). Smoking, chronic mucosal injuries, and poor oral hygiene are involved in its pathogenesis. It mostly occurs to men instead of women and affects the mandible on a 3:2 ratio to the maxilla. The objective of the current study is to present an interesting case of an OSCC of the alveolar ridge mimicking jaw osteonecrosis due to denosumab, resulting in differential diagnostic dilemmas. A 78-year-old female patient, edentulous and bearing total dentures, was referred with a persistent (four months), severely painful, ulcerative lesion in the anterior lateral (right) region of the residual alveolar ridge of the mandible. Medical history referred to a long-term systemic steroid use due to sarcoidosis as well as the subcutaneous use of denosumab for osteoporosis one/month for one year. Cone-beam CT (CBCT) examination was performed where bone resorption was detected and a differential diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJs) from denosumab or neoplasia was made. A biopsy was carried out, and the histological examination showed that soft tissues and underlying bone were infiltrated by abnormal, confluent, compact islands of malignant squamous cells with intense atypia and numerous mitoses indicating a moderately differentiated OSCC. Denosumab inhibits the binding of receptor activator of nuclear factor ligand (RANKL) to receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa (RANK); this decreases bone resorption and results in increased bone density. However, denosumab may induce ONJ. The area of exposed bone and abnormal soft tissue alterations may resemble both benign and malignant diseases. Osteonecrosis may mimic OSCC or may even provide the suitable substrate for the development of OSCC. Biopsy as well as bone imaging examination are required to accurately determine the possibility of neoplastic formation and its boundaries in cases of osteonecrosis especially in patients under treatment with denosumab or bisphosphonate-related ONJ (BRONJ).

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.

Denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw after tooth extraction and the effects of a short drug holiday in cancer patients: a multicenter retrospective study. Osteoporos Int 2021; 32:2323-2333. [PMID: 33997909 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-021-05995-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Pre-existing inflammation, corticosteroid therapy, periapical periodontitis, longer duration of denosumab therapy, and female sex were significantly associated with an increased risk of denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw after tooth extraction in patients with cancer on oncologic doses of denosumab. A short drug holiday did not protect against this complication. INTRODUCTION This study retrospectively investigated the relationship between various risk factors, including brief discontinuation of denosumab, and development of denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (DRONJ) after tooth extraction in patients with cancer who were receiving oncologic doses of this agent. METHODS Data were collected on demographic characteristics, duration of denosumab therapy, whether or not denosumab was discontinued before tooth extraction (drug holiday), duration of discontinuation, presence of pre-existing inflammation, and whether or not additional surgical procedures were performed. Risk factors for DRONJ after tooth extraction were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 136 dental extractions were performed in 72 patients (31 men, 41 women) with cancer who were receiving oncologic doses of denosumab. Post-extraction DRONJ was diagnosed in 39 teeth (28.7%) in 25 patients. Tooth extraction was significantly associated with development of DRONJ only in patients with pre-existing inflammation (odds ratio [OR] 243.77), those on corticosteroid therapy (OR 73.50), those with periapical periodontitis (OR 14.13), those who had been taking oncologic doses of denosumab for a longer period (OR 4.69), and in women (OR 1.04). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of DRONJ between patients who had a drug holiday before tooth extraction and those who did not. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that inflamed teeth should be extracted immediately in patients with cancer who are receiving oncologic doses of denosumab. Drug holidays have no significant impact on the risk of DRONJ.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We evaluated the incidence and risk factors for antiresorptive agent-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ARONJ) in prostate and kidney cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 547 patients from 13 hospitals. Prostate and kidney cancer patients with bone metastases who were treated with a bone-modifying agent (BMA) between January 2012 and February 2019 were enrolled. Exclusion criteria were BMA use for hypercalcemia, a lack of clinical data, a follow-up period of less than 28 days and a lack of evaluation by dentists before BMA administration. The diagnosis and staging of ARONJ were done by dentists. RESULTS Two-hundred eighteen patients were finally enrolled in the study, including 168 prostate cancer patients and 50 kidney cancer patients. Of them, 49 (29%) prostate cancer patients and 18 (36%) kidney cancer patients needed tooth extraction prior to BMA initiation. The mean follow-up period after BMA initiation was 552.9 ± 424.7 days (mean ± SD). In the cohort, 23% of the patients were diagnosed with ARONJ in the follow-up period. The 1-year cumulative incidences of ARONJ were 9.4% and 15.4% in prostate and kidney cancer patients, respectively. Multivariate analysis indicated that kidney cancer, tooth extraction before BMA and a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2 were significant predictors for ARONJ. CONCLUSION ARONJ is not a rare adverse event in urological malignancies. Especially, kidney cancer, high BMI patients and who needed tooth extraction before BMA were high risk for developing ARONJ.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Initially endorsed as an antiosteoporotic agent, denosumab ‒ human monoclonal antibody inhibiting the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)‒ has currently shown an anticancer potential, rationalizing its exploitation in oncology. A prerequisite for leveraging denosumab in oncology is a favorable safety profile. AREAS COVERED The present review provides an overview of the adverse events of denosumab in oncology, with a focus on hypocalcemia, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, atypical femoral fracture(s), post-denosumab vertebral fractures, increased risk of infections, and excess of second primary cancer. Representative studies addressing the safety and efficacy of denosumab compared to bisphosphonates in oncology are summarized. Critical gaps in the literature concerning the safety of denosumab in oncology are highlighted as opposed to plenty of available safety data on denosumab as an antiosteoporotic agent. EXPERT OPINION Despite the generally acceptable safety profile of denosumab in oncology, many issues remain unresolved. Further research is mandatory to counteract current challenges, namely: (i) validation of risk factors for adverse events; (ii) elucidation of the pathophysiology of the adverse events in search of actionable molecular pathways; (iii) illumination of the association of denosumab with increased risk of infections and/or second primary cancer; (iv) establishment of optimal diagnostic, and therapeutic protocols.

Fermented Oyster Extract Prevents Ovariectomy-Induced Bone Loss and Suppresses Osteoclastogenesis. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11061392.

Abstract
There is growing interest in bioactive substances from marine organisms for their potential use against diverse human diseases. Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder associated with bone loss primarily occurring through enhanced osteoclast differentiation and resorption. Recently, we reported the anti-osteoclastogenic activity of fermented Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) extract (FO) in vitro. The present study focused on investigating the anti-osteoporotic efficacy of FO in bone loss prevention in an experimental animal model of osteoporosis and elucidating the mechanism underlying its effects. Oral administration of FO significantly decreased ovariectomy-induced osteoclast formation and prevented bone loss, with reduced serum levels of bone turnover biomarkers including osteocalcin and C-terminal telopeptide fragment of type I collagen C-terminus (CTX). FO significantly suppressed receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) into osteoclasts and attenuated the induction of osteoclast-specific genes required for osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. Furthermore, FO inhibited RANKL-mediated IκBα and p65 phosphorylation in BMMs. Taken together, these results demonstrate that FO effectively suppresses osteoclastogenesis in vivo and in vitro, and that FO can be considered as a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of osteoporosis and osteoclast-mediated skeletal diseases.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is an unavoidable public health problem in an aging or aged society. Anti-resorptive agents (calcitonin, estrogen, and selective estrogen-receptor modulators, bisphosphonates, anti-receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand antibody along with calcium and vitamin D supplementations) and anabolic agents (parathyroid hormone and related peptide analogs, sclerostin inhibitors) have major roles in current treatment regimens and are used alone or in combination based on the pathological condition. Recent advancements in the molecular understanding of bone metabolism and in bioengineering will open the door to future treatment paradigms for osteoporosis, including antibody agents, stem cells, and gene therapies. This review provides an overview of the molecular mechanisms, clinical evidence, and potential adverse effects of drugs that are currently used or under development for the treatment of osteoporosis to aid clinicians in deciding how to select the best treatment option.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Root amputation, immunosuppressive therapy, mandibular tooth extraction, pre-existing inflammation, and longer duration of treatment with bone-modifying agents were significantly associated with an increased risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Hopeless teeth should be extracted without drug holiday before the development of inflammation in cancer patients receiving high-dose bone-modifying agents. INTRODUCTION No studies have comprehensively analyzed the influence of pre-existing inflammation, surgical procedure-related factors such as primary wound closure, demographic factors, and drug holiday on the incidence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The purpose of this study was to retrospectively investigate the relationships between these various factors and the development of MRONJ after tooth extraction in cancer patients receiving high-dose bone-modifying agents (BMAs) such as bisphosphonates or denosumab. METHODS Risk factors for MRONJ after tooth extraction were evaluated with univariate and multivariate analyses. The following parameters were investigated in all patients: demographics, type and duration of BMA use, whether BMA use was discontinued before tooth extraction (drug holiday), the duration of such discontinuation, the presence of pre-existing inflammation, and whether additional surgical procedures (e.g., incision, removal of bone edges, root amputation) were performed. RESULTS We found that root amputation (OR = 22.62), immunosuppressive therapy (OR = 16.61), extraction of mandibular teeth (OR = 12.14), extraction of teeth with pre-existing inflammation, and longer duration (≥ 8 months) of high-dose BMA (OR = 7.85) were all significantly associated with MRONJ. CONCLUSIONS Tooth extraction should not necessarily be postponed in cancer patients receiving high-dose BMA. The effectiveness of a short-term drug holiday was not confirmed, as drug holidays had no significant impact on MRONJ incidence. Tooth extraction may be acceptable during high-dose BMA therapy until 8 months after initiation.

Abstract
Background This case report shows an affected postmenopausal patient with medicaments related osteonecrosis of the jaw injury associated with increased use of bisphosphonates and Prolia® (denosumab) for the treatment of osteoporosis. The mechanism of action of the receptor activates the denosumab of the nuclear-kB factor binding and makes nuclear-kB Factor, reducing bone volume and reabsorption in the trabecular and cortical bones and, consequently, decreasing an incidence of fractures and maintaining a bone formation. The bone physiology regulated by the hormones calcitonin, parathormone and vitamin D also undergoes interference. Methods The injury was located around a dental implant in region #24 and #25 and the patient complained of pain, bleeding, oedema, and halitosis for more than two months, that the dental implant had been installed five years before. According to the clinical findings, the patient presented the exposed and necrotic bone in the region of #24 and #25 and with the radiographs found, it was observed as extensive bone destruction adjacent to the dental implant. Results Patient was referred to the maxillofacial surgeon that performed the removal of bone sequestration and dental implant in the region affected. After that, the patient has been accompanied for a year. Conclusions Patients taking medications for osteoporosis or cancer need to receive special attention from the dentist. Invasive procedures on the jaw bone of patients taking these medications may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw. When diagnosed, osteonecrosis of the jaw should be treated surgically in conjunction with antibiotic therapy and patients should be monitored.

Abstract
In this era of aging societies, the number of elderly individuals who undergo spinal arthrodesis for various degenerative diseases is increasing. Poor bone quality and osteogenic ability in older patients, due to osteoporosis, often interfere with achieving bone fusion after spinal arthrodesis. Enhancement of bone fusion requires shifting bone homeostasis toward increased bone formation and reduced resorption. Several biological enhancement strategies of bone formation have been conducted in animal models of spinal arthrodesis and human clinical trials. Pharmacological agents for osteoporosis have also been shown to be effective in enhancing bone fusion. Cytokines, which activate bone formation, such as bone morphogenetic proteins, have already been clinically used to enhance bone fusion for spinal arthrodesis. Recently, stem cells have attracted considerable attention as a cell source of osteoblasts, promising effects in enhancing bone fusion. Drug delivery systems will also need to be further developed to assure the safe delivery of bone-enhancing agents to the site of spinal arthrodesis. Our aim in this review is to appraise the current state of knowledge and evidence regarding bone enhancement strategies for spinal fusion for degenerative spinal disorders, and to identify future directions for biological bone enhancement strategies, including pharmacological, cell and gene therapy approaches.

Comparison of mucosal and mucoperiosteal wound cover for the treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw lesions: a retrospective cohort study. Clin Oral Investig 2018; 23:351-359. [PMID: 29680992 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-018-2443-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2017] [Accepted: 04/12/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Actually, there is no detailed guidance on how to deal with wound closure after surgical removal of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) lesions. This study attempts to compare the difference in outcome between the mucosal and the mucoperiosteal flap closure after surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective monocentric cohort study, patients (n = 61; 35 female/26 male) suffering from MRONJ and requiring surgical therapy at the University of Aachen between 2013 and 2015 were included. Due to intra-institutional variances, one group was treated with the mucosal, the other group with the mucoperiosteal technique. The success rate, i.e., mucosal closure and no relapse at the point of follow-up, was evaluated and compared. All patients were clinically investigated for the postoperative follow-up during a special consultation appointment. RESULTS The success rates between the different techniques after 2 years follow-up were very similar. In the group of mucosal wound closure, 22 of 29 (75.86%) patients revealed mucosal integrity without signs of MRONJ. The rate in the mucoperiosteal wound closure group was almost identical (24 of 32 (75%)). CONCLUSION No differences in the success rates between the two different techniques could be evaluated. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The results of this study suggest that the complete removal of the necrotic bone might have a higher impact on the success rates than the technique of the wound closure. Due to the fact that the mucoperiosteal wound closure technique offers a better overview of the extent of the MRONJ lesion, the authors advise to use this technique.
