RESUMO
Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a rare, but significant adverse event primarily associated with the intake of antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications. Although antiresorptive and antiangiogenic the-rapies improve life expectancy, particularly in cancer patients, MRONJ may hamper the patient's quality of life due to pain, discomfort, anxiety, depression, speech impairment, difficulty in swallowing and eating, frequent medical and dental evaluations and treatments, and the possibility of treatment discontinuation. Leukocyte and Platelet-rich Fibrin (L-PRF) is an autologous platelet aggregate that promotes wound healing by stimulating re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix production. Aim: The present systematic review aimed to compare the results in the published literature on whether L-PRF is an effective and predictable adjuvant to surgical debridement of necrotic bone for improving the healing efficacy in patients with MRONJ. Materials and Methods: The PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Science Direct, LILACS, and Web of Science databases were searched using the predetermined MeSH terms and eligibility criteria, and the search yielded a total of five articles. Two studies were retrospective, and three studies were case series. Results: Seventeen participants received a combination of surgical debridement, L-PRF membrane, and antibiotics. Complete wound healing was observed in 70% of the participants, and most of them healed without any complications. Conclusions: L-PRF as an adjuvant to surgical debridement of necrosed bone appears to have a positive association with the healing outcome in patients with MRONJ.
Introducción: La osteonecrosis mandibular relacionada con medicamentos (ONMRM) es un evento adverso raro pero significativo asociado principalmente con la ingesta de medicamentos antirresortivos y antiangiogénicos. Aunque las terapias antirresortivas y antiangiogénicas mejoran la esperanza de vida, particularmente en pacientes con cáncer, la ONMRM puede obstaculizar la calidad de vida del paciente debido a dolor, incomodidad, ansiedad, depresión, discapacidad del habla, dificultad para tragar y comer, evaluaciones y tratamientos médicos y dentales frecuentes, y la posibilidad de interrupción del tratamiento. La fibrina rica en plaquetas y leucocitos (L-PRF) es un agregado de plaquetas autólogo que promueve la curación de heridas al estimular la reepitelización, la angiogénesis y la producción de la matriz extracelular. Objetivo: La presente revisión sistemática tuvo como objetivo comparar los resultados en la literatura publicada sobre si L-PRF es un adyuvante efectivo y predecible al desbridamiento quirúrgico del hueso necrótico para mejorar la eficacia curativa en pacientes con ONMRM. Materiales y Métodos: Las bases de datos de PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, ScienceDirect, LILACS y Web of Science se registraron utilizando los términos DeCS/MeSH predeterminados y los criterios de elegibilidad, y la búsqueda arrojó un total de cinco artículos. Dos estudios fueron retrospectivos, y tres estudios fueron series de casos. Resultado: Diecisiete participantes recibieron una combinación de desbridamiento quirúrgico, membrana L-PRF y antibióticos. Se observó curación completa de heridas en el 70% de los participantes, y la mayoría de ellos se curaron sin ninguna complicación. Conclusión: L-PRF como adyuvante para el desbridamiento quirúrgico del hueso necrótico parece tener una asociación positiva con el resultado de curación en pacientes con ONMRM.

Osteonecrosis of the jaw associated with bisphosphonate use is a matter of utmost importance in clinical practice for the safe treatment of patients using this medication. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of knowledge of dentists who carry out clinical practice about bisphosphonate-associated jaw osteonecrosis. Material and Methods: The methodology used in the present research consisted of a non-probability sampling approach for the selection of participants. To conduct the study, a questionnaire created on the Google Forms platform was sent via Direct on Instagram to the professionals who agreed to participate. The data were sent for analysis, using the frequency for each response, and the professionals were divided into subcategories according to their time of professional practice. Results: Participants were familiar with the purpose of the medication (65%) or had heard of it (34%); regarding the professionals' opinion on their knowledge and practice about bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis a significant percentage (93.24%) responded positively regarding the existence of side effects resulting from the therapeutic use of bisphosphonates and 48.65% self-evaluated their level of knowledge on the subject as insufficient. Conclusion: The study reveals that almost all participating dentists have good knowledge about the effects caused by bisphosphonates, but some of them still do not feel specifically confident about the management and knowledge of jaw osteonecrosis (AU)

O cenário odontológico tem apresentado diversos casos de infecção odontogênica, inclusive com óbitos. Em linha com esses fatos, observa-se o aumento na prescrição de antirreabsortivos ósseos em Serviços de Saúde particulares e do SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde). Os bisfosfonatos injetáveis têm ação comprovadamente benéfica para o controle de metástases ósseas. Contudo, aponta-se a osteonecrose avascular no complexo bucomaxilofacial como um efeito adverso importante. Este tipo de alteração também foi reportado mediante o uso de antiangiogênicos e imunomoduladores. Esta revisão de literatura teve por objetivo delinear um protocolo que respalde a atuação dos Cirurgiões Dentistas Clínicos Gerais nas Unidades de Atenção Primária à Saúde do Município de Campinas-SP, diante da utilização frequente de antirreabsortivos ósseos e uma demanda reprimida por cuidados em Saúde Bucal que se apresenta com a retomada integral das atividades após o pico da pandemia de COVID-19. Com base no conhecimento científico sobre a osteonecrose associada a medicamentos, sugere-se que as equipes das Unidades de Atenção Primária à Saúde atuem de modo preventivo, proporcionando cuidado em Saúde Bucal preferencialmente antes do início do tratamento com antirreabsortivos. No entanto, para pacientes que já estão sob esta terapia e necessitam de intervenções odontológicas invasivas, recomenda-se uma abordagem multidisciplinar, entre Cirurgiões Dentistas da Atenção Primária e da Atenção Secundária, visando ao tratamento de possíveis complicações das intervenções invasivas de urgência. Ademais, pacientes sob uso de antirreabsortivos ósseos requerem monitoramento a longo prazo, para se evitar a necessidade de procedimentos odontológicos invasivos ou mesmo diagnosticar precocemente casos de osteonecrose.
The dental scenario has shown many cases of odontogenic infection, including some that ended with death. Along with these facts, there has been an increasing prescription of antiresorptive drugs, both in private and Unified Health System (SUS) Health Services. Injectable bisphosphonates have well-established beneficial action for controlling osseous metastasis. Nevertheless, avascular osteonecrosis of the bucomaxillofacial complex has been pointed out as an important side effect. Such a condition has also been reported under treatment with antiangiogenic drugs and immunological checkpoints inhibitors. This literature review aimed at offering a protocol to support the clinical practice of general dental practitioners in Primary Health Care Units from Campinas-SP Municipality, in face of frequent use of antiresorptive drugs and a repressed demand for oral health care, which takes place with thorough return of activities after COVID-19 pandemic peak. On the basis of scientific knowledge about medication-related osteonecrosis, it may be suggested that staffs in Primary Health Care Units adopt preventive measures, providing oral health care preferably before the beginning of antiresorptive therapy. However, for patients who are already under antiresorptive therapy and need invasive oral interventions, it is recommended a multidisciplinary approach, comprising Dentists from Primary and Secondary Health Care Units, trying to intercept possible complications of urgent invasive oral interventions. Besides, patients under use of antiresorptive medications require long-term follow-up, to avoid the need for invasive oral procedures or to make early diagnosis of osteonecrosis.

Introducción: dada la alta prescripción de bifosfonatos, presentamos sus efectos adversos en la esfera odontológica, siendo una complicación poco frecuente, pero de difícil tratamiento. Sin necesidad de suspender el tratamiento, dado el importante beneficio en cuanto a la prevención de fractura por fragilidad. Estas fracturas causan una alta morbimortalidad en contraposición al bajo riesgo que conlleva la Osteonecrosis mandibular asociada a bifosfonatos. Objetivo: orientar al personal de salud que maneja estos fármacos y quien asiste dichas complicaciones a poseer conocimientos para la prevención de osteonecrosis. Identificar y diferenciar los pacientes con mayor riesgo, de acuerdo con la dosis de bifosfonatos y la frecuencia del tratamiento. Materiales y Método: se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en las siguientes fuentes: Scielo, Google académico, Medline/Pubmed, Biblioteca Virtual en Salud (Brasil), desde el año 2005 a la fecha, idiomas español, portugués e inglés. Los descriptores utilizados son bifosfonatos, mandíbula, maxilar, odontología, osteonecrosis, osteonecrosis de los maxilares asociada a bifosfonatos. Resultados: las últimas pautas de tratamiento fueron modificadas en 2014, por consenso de la Asociación Americana de cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial. La patogénesis de la osteonecrosis maxilar asociada a bifosfonatos no está completamente definida, aunque las publicaciones tratan de explicarla. El riesgo de desarrollarla por terapia oral es menor que por su administración vía intravenosa. Discusión: el médico que prescribe el antirresortivo debe conocer el estado de salud dental de su paciente y, en lo posible, remitirlo a examen con el odontólogo antes de iniciar la terapia con bifosfonatos.
Introduction: Given the high prescription of bisphosphonates, we present their adverse effects in the dental sphere, being an infrequent complication, but difficult to treat. There is no need to suspend treatment, given the important benefit in terms of prevention of fragility fractures. These fractures cause high morbimortality as opposed to the low risk associated with bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw. Objective: To orient the health personnel who handle these drugs and who assist these complications to have knowledge for the prevention of osteonecrosis. To identify and differentiate patients at higher risk, according to the dose of bisphosphonates and frequency of treatment. Materials and Method: A literature review was performed in the following sources: Scielo, Google academic, Medline/Pubmed, Virtual Health Library (Brazil), from 2005 to date, Spanish, Portuguese and English languages. The descriptors used were bisphosphonates, mandible, maxilla, dentistry, osteonecrosis, osteonecrosis of the jaws associated with bisphosphonates. Results: The latest treatment guidelines were modified in 2014, by consensus of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The pathogenesis of bisphosphonate-associated maxillary osteonecrosis is not completely defined, although publications try to explain it. The risk of developing it by oral therapy is lower than by intravenous administration. Discussion: The physician who prescribes the antiresorptive drug should know the dental health status of his patient and, if possible, refer him for examination by a dentist before initiating bisphosphonate therapy.
Introdução: dada a alta prescrição de bisfosfonatos, apresentamos seus efeitos adversos na esfera odontológica, uma complicação rara, mas de difícil tratamento. Sem a necessidade de suspender o tratamento, dado o importante benefício em termos de prevenção de fraturas por fragilidade. Essas fraturas causam alta morbidade e mortalidade, em contraste com o baixo risco associado à osteonecrose da mandíbula associada aos bisfosfonatos. Objetivo: orientar a equipe de saúde que manipula esses medicamentos e que atende a essas complicações para que tenham conhecimento sobre a prevenção da osteonecrose. Identificar e diferenciar os pacientes de maior risco, de acordo com a dose de bisfosfonatos e a frequência do tratamento. Materiais e Método: foi realizada uma revisão da literatura nas seguintes fontes: Scielo, Google acadêmico, Medline/Pubmed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (Brasil), de 2005 até a presente data, idiomas espanhol, português e inglês. Os descritores utilizados foram: bisfosfonatos, mandíbula, maxila, odontologia, osteonecrose, osteonecrose dos maxilares associada a bisfosfonatos. Resultados: as diretrizes de tratamento mais recentes foram modificadas em 2014, por consenso da Associação Americana de Cirurgia Oral e Maxilofacial. A patogênese da osteonecrose da mandíbula associada a bisfosfonatos não está totalmente definida, embora a literatura tente explicá-la. O risco de desenvolvê-la com a terapia oral é menor do que com a administração intravenosa. Discussão: o médico que prescreve o medicamento deve estar ciente do estado de saúde bucal do paciente e, se possível, encaminhar o paciente para ser examinado por um dentista antes de iniciar a terapia com bisfosfonatos.

Aim: This study aimed to systematically review existing literature regarding the association between dental proceduressuch as tooth extractions and periodontal therapyand occurrence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in individuals using bone-modifying drugs. Methods: Search strategies were performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library for a timeframe ending in December 2021. Study selection, data extraction and risk of bias were analyzed independently by two researchers. Three meta-analyses were performed, estimating the crude risk ratio (RR), the adjusted odds ratio (OR) and the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for the association between tooth extraction and MRONJ. Results: Of the 1,654 studies initially retrieved, 17 were ultimately included. The majority of patients with MRONJ in these studies were female, with a mean age of 64 years. Zoledronic acid was the most commonly used drug among patients with MRONJ, and cancer was the most frequent underlying health condition. Regarding the performed meta-analyses, crude and adjusted analyses demonstrated that tooth extraction increased the risk for MRONJ by 4.28 (95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 1.7310.58), the OR for MRONJ by 26.94 (95%CI: 4.17174.17), and the HR for MRONJ by 9.96 (95%CI: 4.0424.55). Conclusion: It was concluded that performing dental procedures, especially tooth extraction, in patients using bone-modifying drugs increased the risk of MRONJ occurrence and, therefore, should be avoided. Further studies, using adjusted data, are warranted

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the awareness of patients using bisphosphonates (BP) regarding their risks and benefits. Sixty-five patients using BP were included. Each participant completed a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 13 questions, including sociodemographic and general information on BP. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and a binomial test was used to assess patient knowledge about BP, considering a 5% significance level. Fifty-nine (90.2%) patients were unaware or had never heard of BP drugs and only 3 (4.6%) knew their indications. Only 6 patients (9.2%) said they knew about the oral complications caused by BP. Sixty-three patients (96.9%) said they were not referred to the dentist before starting BP treatment. Patients using BP do not have satisfactory knowledge regarding the risks and benefits of BP. Physicians and dentists must be prepared to inform and counsel BP users about their adverse effects and possible risk factors. Our results emphasize the importance of public policies, whether individual or collective, to be taken to increase knowledge about BP to avoid medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.
RESUMO
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the potential of strontium ranelate (SR) in medication-related jaw osteonecrosis (MRONJ) after tooth extraction in ovariectomized rats. Thirty ovariectomized rats were divided into three groups (n = 10): bisphophonate (BP) group (zoledronic acid; 0.4 mg/kg/week), SR group (625 mg/kg/day), and control group (saline solution). The lower first molars were extracted after 60 days of drug therapy. Drug administration was continued for another 30 days after tooth extraction. The mandibles were subjected to clinical, histological, radiographic, and microtomographic evaluations. Only the BP group showed clinical changes, characterized by the presence of 70% (n = 7) and 20% (n = 2) of ulcers and extraoral fistulas. Radiographic evaluation demonstrated bone sequestration only in the BP group (n = 7, 70%). Microtomographic analysis revealed increased bone porosity after ovariectomy, particularly in the the control group (p < 0.05). The BP group showed a higher bone surface density, bone volume, and trabecular number than SR and control groups, but with less trabecular separation (p < 0.05). All the animals in the BP group demonstrated histological osteonecrosis. There was no evidence of osteonecrosis in the control and SR groups, which was characterized by the absence of empty osteocyte gaps and associated with the gradual healing of the extraction area. Also, an increased number of blood vessels and a reduced number of osteoclasts were observed in the SR group (p < 0.05). Therefore, SR treatment increased angiogenesis and osteoclastogenesis in the healing socket and was not associated with MRONJ development after tooth extraction in ovariectomized rats.
RESUMO
Abstract Antiresorptive drugs operate in the bone metabolism modulation and are widely used in the treatment of bone metastases and bone losses related to hormonal deficiency. Although this therapy shows satisfactory results, there are adverse effects associated with its use, such as osteonecrosis of the jaws. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is, therefore, a serious and challenging condition with important implications in dentistry. The aim was to conduct a narrative literature review on anti-resorptive drugs and their latest repercussions on the maxillary bones. The review was carried out through a bibliographic search using Decs/Mesh descriptors of interest, in Portuguese and English, in the PubMed, Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Scielo databases. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 33 studies were selected for analysis. It can be noticed that therapy with anti-resorptive agents is complex, especially in dental practice, since MRONJ is a complication that is difficult to manage. Regarding the therapeutic options, these are divided into conservative, surgical or adjuvant therapy, however, there are no protocols in the literature, and there is no consistency regarding the indication of the suspension of the drug administration - "Drug Holiday". Thus, it is important that the multidisciplinary team seeks strategies that minimize complications and promote control over the use of these drugs. In addition, there is a need for investigations that contribute with guidelines for the management and control of adverse effects resulting from therapy with antiresorptive drugs. (AU)
Resumo As drogas antirreabsortivas atuam na modulação do metabolismo ósseo e são indicadas para o tratamento de metástases ósseas e perdas ósseas relacionadas à deficiência hormonal. Ainda que esta terapia apresente resultados satisfatórios, observam-se efeitos adversos associados ao seu uso, como a osteonecrose dos maxilares. A osteonecrose dos maxilares associada ao uso de medicamentos (OMAM) é, portanto, uma condição séria e desafiadora com implicações importantes na Odontologia. O objetivo foi realizar uma revisão narrativa de literatura sobre as drogas antirreabsortivas e suas respectivas repercussões nos ossos maxilares. A revisão foi realizada através de busca bibliográfica utilizando descritores Decs/Mesh de interesse, em português e inglês, nas bases de dados PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) e Scielo. Após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, um total de 33 trabalhos foram selecionados para análise. Pode-se constatar que a terapia com agentes antirreabsortivos é complexa, sobretudo na prática odontológica, visto que a OMAM é uma complicação de difícil manejo. Em relação às condutas terapêuticas para esta condição, divide-se em terapia conservadora, cirúrgica ou adjuvante, todavia, não existem protocolos validados na literatura, bem como não há consistência quanto à indicação do intervalo de suspensão da administração da droga - "Drug Holiday". Desse modo, é importante que a equipe multidisciplinar busque estratégias que minimizem as complicações e promovam o controle no uso dessas drogas. Além disso, nota-se a necessidade de realizar investigações que contribuam com diretrizes para o manejo e controle dos efeitos adversos decorrentes da terapia com medicamentos antirreabsortivos. (AU)
RESUMO
Introduction: The inhibition of osteoclastic activity, associated with different treatment modalities in patients with head and neck cancer, make bones unable to respond to repair processes related to physiological traumas or infection and may result in bone necrosis. The present study aims to report a clinical case of osteoradionecrosis in mandible, and how its sequels were controlled by ozonotherapy. Case report: A 73-year-old female patient with infiltrative ductal breast carcinoma with mandibular metastasis was submitted to chemo and radiotherapy at head and neck region associated with bisphosphonate. Three years later, she was diagnosed with hemimandibular osteoradionecrosis that exhibited communication with oral cavity and with a chronic, suppurative and persistent associated infection. It was applied adjuvant therapy with ozone through the cutaneous fistula and the exposed and necrotic bone. Additionally, non-vital bone debridement was proceeded in two surgical steps. The patient is after a 1-year follow-up non-symptomatic. Conclusion: It is supposed that ozonotherapy, due to its antibacterial and immunoregulatory mechanism of action, was an important therapeutic agent for improving the patient's quality of life.
Introdução: A inibição da atividade osteoclástica, associada a diversas modalidades de tratamento utilizadas em pacientes com câncer de cabeça e pescoço, torna o osso incapaz de responder aos processos de reparo relacionados a traumas fisiológicos ou à infecção, e pode resultar em necrose óssea. O presente estudo tem como objetivo relatar um caso clínico de osteonecrose em mandíbula como consequência do uso de bisfosfonato associado à quimioterapia e à radioterapia para tratamento de câncer de mama com metástase para mandíbula, tendo suas sequelas controladas por meio do uso da ozonioterapia. Relato do caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 73 anos, com história de carcinoma ductal infiltrante de mama com metástase óssea em mandíbula, a qual foi submetida ao tratamento de quimioterapia e radioterapia em região de cabeça e pescoço; três anos depois, foi diagnosticada com osteonecrose da hemimandíbula direita com exposição completa para a cavidade bucal e infecção crônica, supurativa e persistente. Foi realizada terapia adjuvante com aplicação de ozônio nas fístulas cutâneas e no remanescente ósseo exposto e necrosado, além do desbridamento dos sequestros ósseos em duas etapas cirúrgicas. Paciente encontra-se em acompanhamento há 1 ano, sem sintomatologia associada. Conclusão: Observou-se que a ozonioterapia, em razão da sua ação antibacteriana e cicatrizante, foi um importante agente terapêutico para a melhora da qualidade de vida da paciente.
Introducción: La inhibición de la actividad osteoclástica, asociada con las diversas modalidades de tratamiento utilizadas por los pacientes con cáncer de cabeza y cuello, hace que el hueso no pueda responder a los procesos de reparación relacionados con traumas o infecciones fisiológicas y puede provocar necrosis ósea. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo informar un caso clínico de osteonecrosis mandibular como consecuencia del uso de bisfosfonato asociado con quimioterapia y radioterapia para tartar el cáncer de mama con mandíbula metastásica, controlando sus secuelas mediante el uso de la terapia con ozono. Relato del caso: Paciente de 73 años con antecedentes de carcinoma ductal mamario infiltrante con metástasis en la mandíbula ósea fue sometida a quimioterapia y radioterapia en la región de la cabeza y el cuello. Tres años después, le diagnostica con osteonecrosis hemimandibular derecha con exposición completa a la cavidad oral e infección crónica, supurativa y persistente. La terapia adyuvante se realizó con la aplicación de ozono en las fístulas cutáneas y en el remanente óseo expuesto y necrótico, además del desbridamiento de los secuestros óseos en dos etapas quirúrgicas. El paciente ha estado bajo seguimiento durante 1 años in síntomas asociados. Conclusión: Debido a su acción antibacteriana y curativa, la ozonioterapia fue un importante agente terapéutico para mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is still the most prevalent type of osteonecrosis with clinical relevance. In Brazil, bisphosphonate use is high but there is a lack of epidemiological studies on BRONJ. OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical profile of BRONJ in a Brazilian population through an integrative review. DESIGN AND SETTING: Integrative review of BRONJ in a Brazilian population. METHODS: Cases and clinical research on Brazilians with BRONJ between 2010 and 2019, indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and LILACS were reviewed. Age, sex, type and time of bisphosphonate intake, administration route, related diseases, region of the BRONJ, diagnostic criteria, staging, triggering factor and type of treatment were analyzed. RESULTS: Fifteen articles on 128 subjects were included. Most patients were women (82.03%); the mean age was 63 years. Intravenous zoledronic acid was mostly used (62.50%), for breast cancer treatment (46.87%). The main localization of BRONJ was the mandible (54.68%), associated mainly with tooth extractions (45.98%). The diagnostic criteria were clinical (100%) and radiographic (89.06%), mostly in stage II (68.08%). The surgical treatments were sequestrectomy (37.50%) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) (36.71%). Microbial control was done using chlorhexidine (93.75%) and infection control using clindamycin (53.90%). CONCLUSIONS: BRONJ had higher prevalence in Brazilian women receiving treatment for breast cancer and osteoporosis. The mandible was the region most affected with a moderate stage of BRONJ, particularly when there were histories of tooth extraction and peri-implant surgery. Sequestrectomy with additional drugs and surgical therapy was the treatment most accomplished.

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw is a disease where there is necrotic bone exposed or that can be explored by means of a fistula in the maxillofacial region. It has been associated with the use Biphosphonates and denosumab for osteoporosis. Although its etiology is unclear, it may be related to a decrease in bone turnover produced by these drugs, rendering the bone more prone to generate cell necrosis during invasive dental procedures, especially in the posterior region of the jaw. There is no consensus about the prevention and treatment of this condition. The aim of this paper is to present a review of the literature with the main characteristics of osteonecrosis of the jaws associated with drugs, together with a proposal for prevention and treatment for these patients.

Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate bone repair and the development of the medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) associated with the use of zoledronic acid in Wistar rats. Methodology 48 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: ZA, treated with intraperitoneal zoledronic acid, 0.6 mg/kg every 28 days, totaling five doses; control (C), treated with 0.9% sodium chloride; ZA-surgical (SZA) and C-surgical (SC), submitted to extraction of the right upper molars 45 days after the first application. Alveolar bone repair was evaluated by macroscopic and histological analysis. Protein expression evaluations were performed by qPCR. Results Macroscopic evaluation showed that 91.66% (11) of the animals in the SZA group and 41.66% (5) from the SC group presented solution of epithelium continuity (P<0.05). All animals in the SZA group and none in the SC group had bone sequestration. The area of osteonecrosis was higher in the SZA group than in the SC group (P<0.05). In molecular evaluation, the SZA group presented changes in the expression of markers for osteoclasts, with increased RANK and RANKL, and a decrease in OPG. Conclusion The results highlighted strong and evident interference of zoledronic acid in bone repair of the socket, causing osteonecrosis and delayed bone remodeling.

Objetivo: Caracterizar pacientes con osteonecrosis de maxilar asociada a bifosfonatos (BRONJ), atendidos en la ciudad de Cali, Colombia. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó una encuesta estructurada a 32 cirujanos maxilofaciales de la ciudad de Cali, Colombia, donde se preguntó sobre diferentes tópicos relacionados con pacientes afectados y desarrollo de la patología como edad y genero de los pacientes, tipo de medicamento, tiempo de administración, hueso expuesto, etc. Resultados: Treinta y dos cirujanos maxilofaciales respondieron la encuesta con un total de 8 casos. Se encontró 6 casos correspondieron a mujeres y 2 a hombres, la edad fue superior a 44 años; 4 de los tratamientos con bifosfonatos fueron de prescripción oral y 4 intravenoso. La mayor parte de los casos de osteonecrósis se presentaron en mandíbula (88%) y 6 casos (75%) presentaron exposición de hueso. Conclusiones: La osteonecrosis asociada a bifosfonatos es una situación que todavía se presenta, es necesario que la comunidad de pacientes y el personal de salud conozcan más sobre esta situación.
Background: After more than 15 years of the first report of osteonecrosis associated with bisphosphonate (BP), still cases related to BP and other medications continue to be reported and there is an alert about the increase in the number of prescriptions. The need for both patients and students and health professionals to be familiar with medications, pathology, prevention and treatment measures has been highlighted. Aim: To characterize patients with osteonecrosis in the maxilla associated to bisphosphonate (BRONJ), from Cali, Colombia. Materials and Methods: A structured survey was conducted of 32 maxillofacial surgeons from the city of Cali, Colombia, where different topics related to affected patients and the development of the pathology such as age and gender of patients, type of medication, time of study were asked. administration, exposed bone, etc. Results: Thirty-two maxillofacial surgeons answered the survey with a total of 8 cases, it was found that 6 corresponded to women and 2 to men and the age was over 44 years; 4 of the treatments were oral prescription and 4 intravenous; the majority of cases were presented in the jaw (88%) and 6 cases (75%) presented bone exposure. Conclusions: Osteonecrosis associated with bisphosphonates is a situation that still occurs and could increase its incidence due to the increase in the number of prescriptions for osteoporosis medications, it is necessary that the patient community and health staff know More about this situation.

Introdução: os bisfosfonatos são um grupo de medicamentos utilizados no tratamento de doenças osteolíticas, tais como mieloma múltiplo, osteoporose e doença de Paget. Uma complicação tardia dessa medicação é a osteonecrose em ossos maxilares. Esta é definida como desenvolvimento de osso necrótico na cavidade bucal de paciente em tratamento atual ou prévio com bisfosfonato, após sofrer algum procedimento cirúrgico bucal invasivo, sem ter realizado radioterapia. Objetivo: descrever, por meio de relatos de casos, a opção de técnica cirúrgica para tratamento da osteonecrose por bisfosfonatos. Materiais e método: em todos os casos relatados, a terapêutica cirúrgica contou com osteotomia e remoção cirúrgica do sequestro ósseo, debridamento, irrigação com soro fisiológico e sutura contínua simples. Resultados: o controle clínico pós-operatório evidenciou boa cicatrização, melhora considerável da lesão e reepitelização significativa, em curto e longo período. Conclusão: os pacientes devem passar por um criterioso exame odontológico, antes do uso desses medicamentos. Nenhum tratamento cirúrgico invasivo deve ser realizado durante a terapia com esses fármacos. (AU)
Introduction: Bisphosphonates are a group of medications used to treat osteolytic diseases such as multiple myeloma, osteoporosis, and Paget's disease. A late complication of this medication is osteonecrosis in the maxillary bones. It is defined as the development of necrotic bone in the oral cavity of a patient under current or with previous treatment with bisphosphonate and subjected to some invasive oral surgical procedure without radiotherapy. Objective: This study aimed to describe, through case reports, the option of a surgical technique for the treatment of osteonecrosis with bisphosphonates. Materials and Method: In all cases reported, surgical therapy included osteotomy and surgical removal of bone sequestration, debridement, irrigation with saline solution, and simple continuous suture. Results: The postoperative clinical control revealed satisfactory healing, considerable lesion improvement, and significant short- and long-term re-epithelialization. Conclusion: Patients should be subjected to a careful dental examination before using these medications. No invasive surgical treatment should be performed during therapy with these drugs. (AU)

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphology of the mandibular cortex in cases of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients with osteoporosis or bone metastases using a computer programme.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-four patients with MRONJ (35 with osteoporosis and 19 with bone metastases) were examined using panoramic radiography. The morphology of the mandibular cortex was evaluated using a computer programme that scanned the mandibular inferior cortex and automatically assessed the mandibular cortical index (MCI) according to the thickness and roughness of the mandibular cortex, as follows: normal (class 1), mildly to moderately eroded (class 2), or severely eroded (class 3). The MCI classifications of MRONJ patients with osteoporosis or bone metastases were evaluated with the Pearson chi-square test. In these analyses, a 5% significance level was used.RESULTS: The MCI of MRONJ patients with osteoporosis (class 1: 6, class 2: 15, class 3: 14) tended to be higher than that of patients with bone metastases (class 1: 14, class 2: 5, class 3: 0) (P=0.000).CONCLUSION: The use of a computer programme to assess mandibular cortex morphology may be an effective technique for the objective and quantitative evaluation of the MCI in MRONJ patients with osteoporosis or bone metastases.

OBJECTIVES: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a well-known side effect of certain drugs that are used to influence bone metabolism to treat osteometabolic disease or cancers. The purpose of our study was to investigate how high-concentration and low-concentration bisphosphonate (BP) intake affects the disease severity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data collected from the medical records of 52 patients treated with BPs, antiresorptive, antiangiogenic drugs and diagnosed with MRONJ were included in this study. Age, sex, type of systemic disease, type of drug, duration of drug treatment, jaw area with MRONJ, drug administration protocol, and MRONJ clinical and radiological findings were obtained. Patients were divided into two groups: anti-neoplastic (Group I, n=23) and anti-osteoporotic (Group II, n=29). Statistical evaluations were performed using the IBM SPSS ver. 21.0 program. RESULTS: In both groups, more females had MRONJ. MRONJ was found in the mandibles of 30 patients (Group I, n=14; Group II, n=16). When we classified patients according to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons staging system, significant differences were seen between groups (χ2=12.23, P<0.01). More patients with advanced stage (stage 2–3) MRONJ were found in Group I (60.9%). CONCLUSION: According to our results, high-concentration BP intake, age and duration of drug intake increased disease severity.

La osteonecrosis de la mandíbula asociada a bisfosfonatos (BRONJ) es una afección progresiva que aún no tiene consenso sobre su tratamiento ideal. La terapia con plasma rico en fibrina (PRF) ha demostrado ser efectiva en BRONJ. El presente caso relata el tratamiento de un paciente masculino de 76 años que asistió quejándose de dolor en la boca durante 8 meses. Su historial médico reportó metástasis de mieloma múltiple y uso de bisfosfonatos, que había dejado de tomar tres meses antes. En la mandíbula posterior izquierda, la evaluación clínica intraoral presentó supuración y exposición ósea de aproximadamente 4 cm; en la radio-grafía panorámica se identificó una imagen radiotransparente y desorganización de trabéculas óseas; en la tomografía computarizada fue evidente cierta destrucción de la cortical lingual y bucal, que sugirió secuestro óseo. El diagnóstico fue osteonecrosis asociada a bisfosfonatos. El tratamiento consistió en extraer el hueso necrótico y llenar el defecto con PRF obtenido de la sangre del paciente. Se consiguió el cierre completo de la herida. Después de 2 meses, el paciente volvió a quejarse de dolor, una radiografía panorámica mostró una línea radiolúcida de discontinuidad, sugestiva de fractura mandibular en la zona tratada previamente. Se realizó una segunda cirugía con acceso extraoral ya que la mucosa oral se encontraba completamente sana. Se extrajo el hueso necrótico y se colocaron placas de titanio. Después de 3 meses de seguimiento, hubo signos de consolidación ósea y ausencia de dolor; el paciente pudo comer adecuadamente y su calidad de vida mejoró.
Bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a progressive condition that still has no consen-sus about its ideal treatment. Fibrin-rich plasma (FRP) therapy shows effectiveness on BRONJ's treatment by clinicians. A 76-year-old male patient attended for our evaluation complaining of pain in his mouth for 8 months. The medical history showed multiple myeloma metastasis and the use of bisphosphonate (BP) for metastasis control. On intraoral clinical evaluation, suppuration and exposed bone was evident on posterior left mandible measuring approximately 4 centimeters. On panoramic radiograph, we observed a radiolucent image and an area of osseous trabeculae disorganization on left mandible. Computed Tomography (CT) image showed some destruction of lingual and buccal cortical, suggestive of bone sequestration. The treatment was to remove all necrotic bone and fill the defect with FRP from the patient's own blood. Sutures were placed to provide wound primary closure and after 2 months without evidence of exposed bone, the patient came complaining with pain again. After a panoramic radiograph, it was clearly observed a radiolucent image with an image of a jaw dis-continuity line, suggestive of mandible fracture in the same side treated before. New surgery was performed and as the intraoral mucosa was perfectly healthy, an extraoral access was made. All the necrotic bone was removed and titanium plates were placed. After 3 months following up, there were signs of bone consolidation and no pain complaint by patient. The patient was able to eating properly and had his quality of life improved.

OBJECTIVES: The number of patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is increasing, but treatment remains controversial. Published papers and systematic reviews have suggested that surgical treatment is effective in patients with MRONJ. The purpose of this study was to determine whether preoperative University of Connecticut Osteonecrosis Numerical Scale (UCONNS), other serologic biomarkers, and size of necrosis are prognostic factors for outcome of surgical treatment in MRONJ. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 2008 to December 2016, 65 patients diagnosed with MRONJ at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in College of Dentistry, Dankook University who required hospitalization and surgical treatment were investigated. Patient information, systemic factors, and UCONNS were investigated. In addition, several serologic values were examined through blood tests one week before surgery. The size of osteolysis was measured by panoramic view and cone-beam computed tomography in all patients. With this information, multivariate logistic regression analysis with backward elimination was used to examine factors affecting postoperative outcome. RESULTS: In multivariate logistic analysis, higher UCONNS, higher C-reactive protein (CRP), larger size of osteolysis, and lower serum alkaline phosphate were associated with higher incidence of incomplete recovery after operation. This shows that UCONNS, CRP, serum alkaline phosphate, and size of osteolysis were statistically significant as factors for predicting postoperative prognosis. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that CRP, UCONNS, serum alkaline phosphate, and size of osteolysis were statistically significant factors in predicting the prognosis of surgical outcome of MRONJ. Among these factors, UCONNS can predict the prognosis of MRONJ surgery as a scale that includes various influencing factors, and UCONNS should be used first as a predictor. More aggressive surgical treatment and more definite surgical margins are needed when the prognosis is poor.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) after tooth extraction in patients with osteoporosis on oral bisphosphonates in Korea and to evaluate local factors affecting the development of BRONJ. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The clinical records of 320 patients who underwent dental extraction while receiving oral bisphosphonates were reviewed. All patients had a healing period of more than 6 months following the extractions. Each patient's clinical record was used to assess the incidence of BRONJ; if BRONJ occurred, a further radiographic investigation was carried out to obtain a more definitive diagnosis. Various local factors including age, gender, extraction site, drug type, duration of administration, and C-terminal telopeptide (CTx) level were retrieved from the patients' clinical records for evaluating their effect on the incidence of BRONJ. RESULTS: Among the 320 osteoporotic patients who underwent tooth extraction, 11 developed BRONJ, reflecting an incidence rate of 3.44%. Out of the local factors that may affect the incidence of BRONJ, gender, drug type, and CTx level showed no statistically significant effects, while statistically significant associations were found for age, extraction site, and duration of administration. The incidence of BRONJ increased with age, was greater in the mandible than the maxilla, and was associated with a duration of administration of more than 3 years. CONCLUSION: Tooth extraction in patients on oral bisphosphonates requires careful consideration of their age, the extraction site, and the duration of administration, and close postoperative follow-up should be carried out to facilitate effective early management.
