Abstract
Antiresorptives are the most widely prescribed drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis. They are also used in malignant bone metastases, multiple myeloma, and Paget's disease, and provide therapeutic efficacy on those diseases. However, it was reported that the occurrence of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) could be related to antiresorptive exposures, and there have been many cases regarding this issue. Therefore, a clearer definition and treatment guidelines were needed for this disease. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research and the Amnerican Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons reported statements on bisphosphonate-related ONJ (BRONJ), and a revised version was recently presented. In the revised edition, the diagnosis BRONJ was changed to medication-related ONJ (MRONJ), which reflects consideration of the fact that ONJ also occurs for denosumab, a bone resorption inhibitor of the receptor activator of the nuclear factor-κB ligand antibody family, and bevacizumab, an anti-angiogenesis inhibitor. The Korean Society for Bone and Mineral Research and the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons had collectively formed a task force for the preparation of an official statement on MRONJ based on a previous position paper in 2015. The task force reviewed current knowledge and coordinated dental and medical opinions to propose the guideline customized for the local Korean situation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) occurring after invasive dental treatment often adversely affects patients' activities of daily living. Long-term administration of strong anti-bone resorptive agents such as bisphosphonates prior to invasive dental treatment is considered an ONJ risk factor; however, pathological mechanisms underlying ONJ development remain unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed an ONJ mouse model in which a tooth is extracted during treatment with the bisphosphonate zoledronate. RESULTS We observed induction of apoptosis in osteocytes, resulting in formation of empty lacunae in jaw bones at sites of tooth extraction but not in other bones of the same mice. We also observed elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα, IL-6 and IL-1 in jaw bone at the extraction site relative to other sites in zoledronate-treated mice. We also report that treatment in vitro with either zoledronate or an extract from Porphyromonas gingivalis, an oral bacteria, promotes expression of inflammatory cytokines in osteoclast progenitor cells. We demonstrate that gene-targeting of either TNFα, IL-6 or IL-1 or treatment with etanercept, a TNFα inhibitor, or a neutralizing antibody against IL-6 can antagonize ONJ development caused by combined tooth extraction and zoledronate treatment. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, the cytokine storm induced by invasive dental treatment under bisphosphonate treatment promotes ONJ development due to elevated levels of inflammatory cytokine-producing cells. Our work identifies novel targets potentially useful to prevent ONJ.

The role of antiresorptive drugs and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in nononcologic immunosuppressed patients: A systematic review. JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES 2021; 26:23. [PMID: 34221052 PMCID: PMC8240545 DOI: 10.4103/jrms.jrms_794_20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2020] [Revised: 08/05/2020] [Accepted: 01/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe condition affecting the jaws of patients exposed to specific drugs, and is primarily described in patients receiving bisphosphonate (BP) therapy. However, more recently it has been observed in patients taking other medications, such as the RANK ligand inhibitor (denosumab) and antiangiogenic drugs. It has been proposed that the existence of other concomitant medical conditions may increase the incidence of MRONJ. The primary aim of this research was to analyze all available evidence and evaluate the reported outcomes of osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) due to antiresorptive drugs in immunosuppressed patients. A multi-database (PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL) systematic search was performed. The search generated twenty-seven studies eligible for the analysis. The total number of patients included in the analysis was two hundred and six. All patients were deemed to have some form of immunosuppression, with some patients having more than one disorder contributing to their immunosuppression. Within this cohort the commonest trigger for MRONJ was a dental extraction (n=197). MRONJ complications and recurrence after treatment was sparsely reported in the literature, however a total of fourteen cases were observed. The data reviewed have confirmed that an invasive procedure is the commonest trigger of MRONJ with relatively high frequency of post-operative complications or recurrence following management. However, due to low-quality research available in the literature it is difficult to draw a definitive conclusion on the outcomes analysed in this systematic review.

Effects of anti-resorptive drugs on implant survival and peri-implantitis in patients with existing osseointegrated dental implants: a retrospective cohort study. Osteoporos Int 2020; 31:1749-1758. [PMID: 32367226 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-019-05257-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2019] [Accepted: 12/03/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED The effect of anti-resorptive drug (ARD) usage among patients with successful dental implant osseointegration is controversial. This study showed an increased risk of implant failure in ARD users. Risk factors included pre-existing marginal bone loss, overdenture, diabetes, and a short interval between implant placement and ARD administration. INTRODUCTION This retrospective study aimed to determine whether anti-resorptive drug (ARD) usage increased risk of implant failure among patients with successful implant osseointegration. Additionally, the study investigated risk factors that affected implant survival rate in ARD users. METHODS Eighty ARD users with 344 implants who had more than 12 months of follow-up from the initiation of ARD treatment during the period between 2008 and 2017 were included, along with 80 non-ARD users from the same period. The primary outcome was dental implant survival. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazard models were used for survival analysis. RESULTS Average follow-up was 85.3 months. Implant survival rates were 89.83% in ARD users and 96.03% in non-ARD users. In the univariate Cox proportional hazard model, risk of implant failure was significantly higher in patients with pre-existing marginal bone loss (MBL), diabetes, and concurrent bone augmentation. However, risk of implant failure was significantly lower when the interval between implant placement and ARD administration was < 36 months. Compared with overdenture, single crown and fixed splinted users had lower risk of implant failure. In multivariate analysis, variables including pre-existing MBL, diabetes, < 36-month interval between implant placement and ARD treatment, and usage of fixed splinted prosthesis were significantly associated with increased risk of implant failure. CONCLUSIONS ARD administration after implant osseointegration was correlated with a reduced implant survival rate. Pre-existing MBL, diabetes, type of final prosthesis, and the interval between implant placement and initiation of ARD administration influenced risk of implant failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children and young people (CYP) with chronic rheumatic conditions; Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, Juvenile Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Juvenile Dermatomyositis and Juvenile Vasculitis, treated with steroids, have low bone density, increased fracture risk and are likely to have suboptimal peak bone mass. There is currently no evidence base for the management of steroid-induced bone loss in children with rheumatic diseases. METHODS We undertook a multi-centre double dummy double-blind randomised placebo controlled trial to investigate whether the bisphosphonate risedronate was superior to alfacalcidol or calcium and vitamin D supplementation in the prevention and treatment of steroid-induced osteopaenia in these children. Patients were stratified and randomised in a 1:1 ratio, into: placebo; alfacalcidol; risedronate. The primary outcome was the change in lumbar spine bone mineral density z score (LSaBMDz) measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry at one year. Secondary outcome was fracture rate. RESULTS Two hundred and seventeen patients were recruited to the study. Seventy seven placebo, 71 alfacalcidol, and 69 risedronate. Highly statistically significant differences were observed in the change in LSaBMDz between the placebo and risedronate groups; 0.274, 95% CI (0.061, 0.487) (p < 0.001) and between the risedronate and the alfacalcidol groups; 0.326 95% CI (0.109, 0.543) (p < 0.001). The difference observed between the alfacalcidol and placebo group was not statistically significant.Highly statistically significant differences were seen in the change in Total Body Less Head aBMD-Z Score between the placebo and risedronate groups (p < 0.01) but not between the alfacalcidol and risedronate groups. No significant differences in fracture frequency, adverse or serious adverse reactions were observed between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Children and adolescents receiving steroids for rheumatic diseases benefit from prophylactic treatment with bisphosphonates to increase LSaBMD. Alfacalcidol is ineffective.

Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2019; 48:373-381. [PMID: 30314708 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2018.09.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2018] [Revised: 09/15/2018] [Accepted: 09/21/2018] [Indexed: 10/28/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this overview was to assess the methods, quality, and outcomes of systematic reviews conducted to evaluate the impact of bisphosphonates on dental implants and the risk of developing bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw after dental implant surgery. An electronic search without date or language restriction was performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science, and LILACS databases (to January 2018). Eligibility criteria included systematic reviews that evaluated the impact of bisphosphonates on implant outcomes. The quality assessment of the included reviews was done using AMSTAR 2 guidelines. The protocol of this overview was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42018089617). The search and selection process yielded seven reviews, published between 2009 and 2017. None of the systematic reviews included in this study obtained the maximum score in the quality assessment. The scientific evidence available demonstrates that patients with a history of bisphosphonate use do not present a higher risk of dental implant failure or marginal bone loss compared to patients who have not used bisphosphonates. The literature also suggests that patients who undergo surgical trauma during the installation of dental implants may be more susceptible to bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Abstract
Introduction Oral bisphosphonates are the most commonly prescribed anti-resorptive drugs used in the treatment of osteoporosis, but osteonecrosis of the jaw is a serious complication. The early diagnosis of this destructive side effect is crucial in preventing excessive bone loss, pain and infection.Objective To aid dental practitioners in the early identification of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.Method A scoping review was carried out.Data sources We searched MEDLINE via OVID, EMBASE via OVID, Dentistry and Oral Sciences Source (DOSS), Proquest Dissertation and Theses Search, to identify references that described clinical and radiological findings in medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).Data selection Nineteen references mentioned the earliest radiological changes in MRONJ with a description of the observations and were included in the analysis.Data synthesis The radiographic signs included osteosclerosis/lysis, widening of the periodontal ligament and thickening of the lamina dura and cortex. To assess the quality of original data on which recommendations had been made, these 19 studies were subjected to a quality appraisal.Conclusion Using bone exposure as a criterion for diagnosis of MRONJ, leads to delayed diagnosis and a poor response to treatment. In those patients at risk of bone exposure with MRONJ, insufficient information is present in the literature to allow the general dental practitioner to reliably identify the radiographic features indicating imminent bone exposure. A well-designed prospective study is needed.

Abstract
Objectives Bisphosphonate is the primary cause of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Bisphosphonates are eliminated from the human body by the kidneys. It is anticipated that bisphosphonate levels in the body will increase if the kidney is in a weak state or if there is systemic disease that affects kidney function. The aim of this study was to analyze the relevance of renal function in the severity of BRONJ. Materials and Methods Ninety-three patients diagnosed with BRONJ in Pusan National University Dental Hospital from January 2012 to December 2014 were included in this study. All patients underwent a clinical exam, radiographs, and serologic lab test, including urine analysis. The patient's medical history was also taken, including the type of bisphosphonate drug, the duration of administration and drug holiday, route of administration, and other systemic diseases. In accordance with the guidelines of the 2009 position paper of American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, the BRONJ stage was divided into 4 groups, from stage 0 to 3, according to the severity of disease. IBM SPSS Statistics version 21.0 (IBM Co., USA) was used to perform regression analysis with a 0.05% significance level. Results BRONJ stage and renal factor (estimated glomerular filtration rate) showed a moderate statistically significant correlation. In the group with higher BRONJ stage, the creatinine level was higher, but the increase was not statistically significant. Other factors showed no significant correlation with BRONJ stage. There was a high statistically significant correlation between BRONJ stage and ‘responder group’ and ‘non-responder group,’ but there was no significant difference with the ‘worsened group.’ In addition, the age of the patients was a relative factor with BRONJ stage. Conclusion With older age and lower renal function, BRONJ is more severe, and there may be a decrease in patient response to treatment.

Abstract
This report describes a case of teriparatide (TPTD) therapy for bisphosphonate (BP)-related osteonecrosis of the jaw induced after implant placement. A 75-year-old woman taking oral BP was referred with uncontrolled osteonecrosis of the mandible related to the implant placement. With conservative treatment, BP was suspended and daily subcutaneous injections of 20 μm/d TPTD were started. After 4 months of the therapy, fixture removal and sequestrectomy were performed. Histological analysis revealed necrotic lamellar bone and empty osteocytic lacunae. In contrast, multiple irregular reversal lines of the lamellar bone and active osteoblasts were noted adjacent to the lesion. There was a significant increase in serum C-terminal telopeptide cross-link of type 1 collagen and serum osteocalcin after commencement of the therapy. After 7 months off therapy, the serum levels of the 2 markers remained at a high level compared with the baseline.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune inflammatory disorder, results in persistent synovitis with severe bone and cartilage destruction. Bisphosphonates (BPs) are often utilized in RA patients to reduce bone destruction and manage osteoporosis. However, BPs, especially at high doses, are associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). Here, utilizing previously published ONJ animal models, we are exploring interactions between RA and ONJ incidence and severity. DBA1/J mice were divided into four groups: control, zoledronic acid (ZA), collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), and CIA-ZA. Animals were pretreated with vehicle or ZA. Bovine collagen II emulsified in Freund's adjuvant was injected to induce arthritis (CIA) and the mandibular molar crowns were drilled to induce periapical disease. Vehicle or ZA treatment continued for 8 weeks. ONJ indices were measured by micro-CT (µCT) and histological examination of maxillae and mandibles. Arthritis development was assessed by visual scoring of paw swelling, and by µCT and histology of interphalangeal and knee joints. Maxillae and mandibles of control and CIA mice showed bone loss, periodontal ligament (PDL) space widening, lamina dura loss, and cortex thinning. ZA prevented these changes in both ZA and CIA-ZA groups. Epithelial to alveolar crest distance was increased in the control and CIA mice. This distance was preserved in ZA and CIA-ZA animals. Empty osteocytic lacunae and areas of osteonecrosis were present in ZA and CIA-ZA but more extensively in CIA-ZA animals, indicating more severe ONJ. CIA and CIA-ZA groups developed severe arthritis in the paws and knees. Interphalangeal and knee joints of CIA mice showed advanced bone destruction with cortical erosions and trabecular bone loss, and ZA treatment reduced these effects. Importantly, no osteonecrosis was noted adjacent to areas of articular inflammation in CIA-ZA mice. Our data suggest that ONJ burden was more pronounced in ZA treated CIA mice and that RA could be a risk factor for ONJ development. © 2016 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are the most widely prescribed drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis, and are also used in malignant bone metastases, multiple myeloma, and Paget's disease, and provide therapeutic efficacy on those diseases. However, it was reported that occurrence of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) could be related with bisphosphonate exposures, and there have been many cases regarding this issue. Therefore, a clearer definition and treatment guidelines were needed for this disease. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) and American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) reported statements on bisphosphonate-related ONJ (BRONJ), and a revised version was recently presented. In the revised edition, the diagnosis BRONJ was changed to medication-related ONJ (MRONJ), which reflects a consideration of the fact that ONJ also occurs for denosumab, a bone resorption inhibitor of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) antibody family, and bevacizumab, an anti-angiogenesis inhibitor. In 2009, a statement on ONJ was also reported locally by a relevant organization, which has served as basis for clinical treatment in Korea. In addition to the new official stance of the AAOMS and ASBMR, with an increasing pool of ONJ clinical experience, a revised version of the 2009 local statement is needed. As such, the Korean Society for Bone and Mineral Research (KSBMR) and the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (KAOMS) have collectively formed a committee for the preparation of an official statement on MRONJ, and have reviewed recent local and international data to propose guidelines customized for the local Korean situation.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaws is an adverse reaction associated with the use of bisphosphonates. Although the diagnosis of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is based on symptomatology, it is often detected late because the patients become symptomatic only after osteonecrosis is well established. We describe a case of early oral BRONJ detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accidentally. Head MRI revealed low signal of T1-weight images in left mandibula. Patient had been treated with minodronate for osteoporosis during 18 months. Based on the MRI findings and medication history, early stage BRONJ could be considered. Therefore minodronate was switched to teriparatide. Thereafter mandible pares-thesias, odontalgia and exposed bone were not observed. This case suggests that MRI is useful for the early detection of BRONJ.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between bisphosphonate exposure and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in Korean patients with osteoporosis. A nested case-control study was performed using the claims database during 2002 to 2010 provided by the National Health Insurance Service. We identified a cohort of individuals with diagnosis of osteoporosis during 2002 to 2010. Cases and controls were identified during 2004 to 2010, and the date of potential cases of ONJ was defined as the index date. Bisphosphonate exposure was evaluated during 2 y prior to the index date. The association between bisphosphonate exposure and ONJ was tested by performing a conditional logistic regression analysis for matched data, and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were presented. Subjects were classified as nonuser, recent user, past user, or continuous user, depending on the prescription of bisphosphonates in 2 periods (1 to 2 y and 0 to 1 y prior to the index date). Continuous users were defined as patients who were exposed to bisphosphonate in both periods. We also examined the impact of bisphosphonate medication compliance by measuring the cumulative duration of exposure (CDE) on the risk of ONJ. A total of 212 cases with ONJ and 2,120 controls matched by sex, age, income level, and insurance type were identified among 109,787 patients with osteoporosis out of 1,025,340 enrollees in the sample cohort. The odds of having ONJ after adjusting for patient comorbidities significantly increased in continuous users of bisphosphonates (OR, 3.9; 95% CI, 2.4 to 6.2) compared to nonusers. Increased odds of ONJ were observed as CDE increased. The adjusted OR in patients with 1.5 y < CDE ≤ 2 y prior to the index date was 7.8 (95% CI, 4.0 to 15.5) versus nonusers. Our study results support significantly increased occurrences of potential ONJ in patients with osteoporosis who were exposed to bisphosphonates compared to those without exposure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A systematic review and meta-analysis are carried out to assess the scientific evidence that bisphosphonate therapy can decrease the success rate of dental implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS The PubMed (Medline) database was used to search for articles published up until February 22, 2014. The meta-analysis was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA). The Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) was used to assess study quality. RESULTS The combinations of search terms resulted in a list of 256 titles. Fourteen finally met the inclusion criteria and were thus selected for inclusion in the systematic review. Eight studies (six retrospective and two prospective) were included in the meta-analysis, with a total of 1288 patients (386 cases and 902 controls) and 4562 dental implants (1090 dental implants in cases and 3472 in controls). The summary odds ratio (OR = 1.43, P = 0.156) indicates that there is not enough evidence that bisphosphonates have a negative impact upon implant survival. According to the number need to harm (NNH), over 500 dental implants are required in patients receiving bisphosphonate treatment to produce a single implant failure. CONCLUSION Our results show that dental implant placement in patients receiving bisphosphonates does not reduce the dental implant success rate. On the other hand, such patients are not without complications, and risk evaluation therefore must be established on an individualized basis, as one of the most serious though infrequent complications of bisphosphonate therapy is bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws. Given the few studies included in our meta-analysis, further prospective studies involving larger sample sizes and longer durations of follow-up are required to confirm the results obtained.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether termination of bisphosphonates (BPs) affects resolution of bone exposure and symptomatic disease in patients with established medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). PATIENTS AND METHODS The studied population included 84 patients with established MRONJ who discontinued BP therapy before treatment (n = 21), at treatment initiation (n = 38), or later (or never) in the treatment course (n = 25). These 3 groups were compared using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests for differences in the respective times to resolution of 1) bone exposure for any treatment modality, 2) bone exposure not requiring radical surgery, and 3) disease symptoms. RESULTS Patients who continued BPs after the start of treatment exhibited significantly delayed resolution of symptoms (median 12 months; 95% confidence interval 8 to 15) compared with those who discontinued BPs before (3 months; 2 to 5) and at (6 months; 3 to 7) presentation (P < .005). CONCLUSIONS Independent of treatment modality and MRONJ stage at presentation, discontinuing BP before or at treatment initiation is associated with faster resolution of MRONJ symptoms compared with continuing the drug throughout jaw treatment. Patients should be counseled that continuing their BP medication after an established MRONJ diagnosis (compared to stopping the BP at diagnosis) may delay resolution of maxillofacial symptoms by approximately 6 months.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a well-known complication caused by amino-bisphosphonate therapy. We document one case of BRONJ associated with oral administration of methotrexate, a known immunosuppressive drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS A 66-year-old woman was referred for evaluation and endodontic surgery of recently re-treated tooth 13. Tooth 14 was extracted 3 months prior, and the extraction site had not completely healed. Her medical history revealed rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. She had been taking Fosamax (alendronate) 70 mg daily. Because of adequate root canal therapy of tooth 13, endodontic surgery was performed. Five months after apicoectomy, her symptoms had not changed. Tooth 13 was extracted, and the socket healed without complications. The socket of extracted tooth 14 was also healing. At the 3-month recall visit, bone exposure and purulent discharge at the site of extracted tooth 14 were noted. The patient had recently received methotrexate. The methotrexate was discontinued, and she was given course of amoxicillin. RESULTS At the 18-month follow-up, the healing progressed, and the wound was closed. CONCLUSIONS A medication that suppresses the immune system such as methotrexate may complicate the management of BRONJ. Once a diagnosis of BRONJ is made, a closely monitored conservative approach is recommended.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate (BP) drugs are a commonly prescribed group of medications used in the treatment of metabolic and oncologic bone disorders. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review in order to evaluate whether patients on BP therapy are appropriate candidates for dental implants as compared to patients not taking BP drugs with respect to successful implant osseointegration and the risk of developing bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Based on the current literature, a history of oral or intravenous BP use is not an absolute contraindication for dental implant placement, and dental implants can osseointegrate successfully in this patient population. Importantly, the studies currently available on this topic are of moderate to weak strength of evidence with inherent bias and limitations, and hence results must be interpreted in this context. Well-controlled studies with higher strength of evidence and larger population sizes are required to address this topic more accurately in the future.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This prospective study compares two different surgical protocols with different degrees of invasiveness for tooth extraction in patients treated with oral bisphosphonates (BPs). No intraoperative complications were observed in either of the two groups, and there was no evidence of postoperative bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw in any of the extractions in the study group at follow-up (1,480 extractions). According to our data, dental extraction seems to be safe in osteoporotic patients treated with oral bisphosphonates. INTRODUCTION Oral bisphosphonates are drugs commonly prescribed for the treatment of osteoporosis and other resorptive bone diseases. Since 2003, there have been numerous publications relating bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) in patients using oral bisphosphonates, such as alendronate and risedronate. Most of the BRONJ cases reported in literature show a strong correlation with dental pathologies, dental extractions, and/or oral surgical procedures. METHODS This study was conducted on 700 consecutive patients treated with oral bisphosphonates who underwent dental extractions. A total of 1,480 extractions were involved: 864 in the mandible and 616 in the maxilla. The patients were assigned randomly to one of two groups: 334 were treated with delicate surgery and closure by primary intention (Protocol A), and the other 366 were treated with nontraumatic avulsion and closure by secondary intention (Protocol B). All patients were administered with antibiotics coverage. RESULTS Seven hundred patients with required removal of compromised teeth were included in the study. No intraoperative complications were observed in either of the two groups, and there was no evidence of postoperative bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw in any of the extractions in the study group at follow-up (1,480 extractions). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this prospective study indicate that both suggested protocols for tooth extraction in patients treated with oral BPs can provide a predictable treatment outcome (100 % success). Therefore, because atraumatic surgery is more comfortable for patients, we suggest the adoption of Protocol B, which limits trauma to both the soft and hard tissues.

Abstract
Objective.To review cases of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) occurring in association with benign disease and to describe and compare the clinical course and outcome for patients with BRONJ and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or osteoporosis.Methods.We retrospectively reviewed observations of all patients referred for treatment and followup for BRONJ from January 2007 to December 2011. Only patients with malignant disease were excluded. Demographic data, medical history, maxillofacial findings, BRONJ treatment, and followup were reviewed for each case.Results.Over a 5-year period, we diagnosed 112 patients with BRONJ. Among these patients, 15 received bisphosphonate (BP) treatment for nonmalignant disease (mean age 65.7 ± 19.8 yrs, 80% women). Patients received BP for a variety of reasons: 8 (53%) to prevent osteoporosis in association with underlying RA; 6 (40%) to prevent idiopathic osteoporosis; and 1 (7%) to treat ankle algodystrophy. The mean oral BP exposure period was 48.4 months (median 36 mo). In 13 cases (86.6%), BRONJ was diagnosed following dental extraction. Of the 8 patients with RA, 5 (62.5%) were taking prednisone at the time of the discovery of BRONJ. Major surgery, sequestrectomy, or alveolectomy was performed in 9 patients (60%), all of whom healed within 3 to 36 months (mean 11.5 mo). Comparative analysis of all the variables showed no statistically significant differences between patients with RA and others.Conclusion.ONJ is a rare adverse effect of BP therapy, especially when administered orally. Within the limits of our study, we were unable to demonstrate a difference in BRONJ disease spectrum, clinical course, or outcome between patients with and those without RA.

Abstract
This literature review aims to evaluate the epidemiologic profile of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that developed a bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis that affect the jaws (BRONJ), including demographic aspects, as well as clinical and therapeutic issues. A search of PUBMED/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases from January 2003 to September 2011 was conducted with the objective of identifying publications that contained case reports regarding oral BRONJ in RA patients. Patients with RA who develop oral BRONJ are usually women above 60 years taking steroids and long-term alendronate. Most of them have osteoporosis, and lesions, triggered by dental procedures, are usually detected at stage II in the mandible. Although there is no accepted treatment protocol, these patients seem to have better outcomes with conservative approaches that include antibiotic therapy, chlorhexidine, and drug discontinuation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of alendronates on healing of extraction sockets and healing around implants in the maxilla of rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were used. The rats in bisphosphonate group were subcutaneously injected with alendronate (5.0 mg kg(--1)) three times a week for 4 weeks. Both sides of the maxillary first molars were extracted, and customized titanium implants (Ø1.5 × 2.0 mm) were placed immediately into one side. Rats were killed at 3, 7, 14, or 28 days following surgery. RESULTS New bone formation in extraction sockets, bone area around the implant site, and bone-implant contact were not delayed in the bisphosphonate group. The tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase positive cell count did not differ between bisphosphonate and control groups; however, empty lacunae were observed significantly more in bisphosphonate group. The differences in empty lacunae were shown at different time points between the implant sites and extraction sites: at 7 days after extraction, and at 14 and 28 days after implantation. CONCLUSIONS Alendronates seemed to decrease bone resorption but not to decrease bone formation. Empty lacunae were observed significantly more at later time points in implant sites compared to extraction sockets.

Oral bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws in rheumatoid arthritis patients: a critical discussion and two case reports. Head Face Med 2011; 7:7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a clinical condition characterized by the presence of exposed bone in the maxillofacial region. Its pathogenesis is still undetermined, but may be associated with risk factors such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this paper is to report two unpublished cases of BRONJ in patients with RA and to conduct a literature review of similar clinical cases with a view to describe the main issues concerning these patients, including demographic characteristics and therapeutic approaches applied. METHODS Two case reports of BRONJ involving RA patients were discussed RESULTS Both patients were aging female taking alendronate for more than 3 years. Lesions were detected in stage II in posterior mandible with no clear trigger agent. The treatment applied consisted of antibiotics, oral rinses with chlorhexidine, drug discontinuation and surgical procedures. Complete healing of the lesions was achieved. CONCLUSIONS This paper brings to light the necessity for rheumatologists to be aware of the potential risk to their patients of developing BRONJ and to work together with dentists for the prevention and early detection of the lesions. Although some features seem to link RA with oral BRONJ and act as synergistic effects, more studies should be developed to support the scientific bases for this hypothesis.
