Abstract
To investigate de effect of PAb gel on the bone tissue of rats submitted to Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ). Initially, 54 animals were submitted to BRONJ model by Zoledronic Acid (ZA) (0.1 mg/kg 3x/wk for 9 wk, ip), followed by the 1st upper left molar extraction at the 8th wk. After tooth removal, the animals were divided into 3 groups, ZA that received placebo gel or PAb gel that received 1% PAb gel, inside the dental alveolus. The control Group (CONTROL) received 0.1 mg/kg of 0.9% saline and then placebo gel. Three weeks after tooth extraction, the animals were euthanized, and maxillae were colleted for macroscopic, radiographic, histological and Raman spectomery assays. Additionally, GSK3b, beta-catenin, and Runx2 mRNA expressions were determined. Blood samples were collected for the analysis of Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP) levels. PAb gel improved mucosal healing, increased the number of viable osteocytes, while it reduced the number of empty lacunae, as well as the amount of bone sequestration. Furthermore, PAb gel positively influenced the number and functionality of osteoblasts by stimulating Wnt signaling, thereby inducing bone remodeling. Additionally, PAb gel contributed to improved bone quality, as evidenced by an increase in bone mineral content, a decrease in bone solubility, and an enhancement in the quality of collagen, particularly type I collagen. PAb gel mitigated bone necrosis by stimulating of bone remodeling through Wnt signaling and concurrently improved bone quality. PAb gel emerges as a promising pharmacological tool for aiding in BRONJ therapy or potentially preventing the development of BRONJ.

Abstract
Long-term administration of bisphosphonates can lead to a significant side effect known as bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Although macrophage-mediated inflammation has been established as an important factor in BRONJ, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. In the current study, the roles of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in zoledronic acid (ZOL)-induced inflammation were analyzed in macrophages, and the regulatory mechanism of ER stress activation was next investigated. An in vitro model of BRONJ was established by treating RAW264.7 cells with ZOL. The activation of ER stress was analyzed by western blotting and transmission electron microscopy, and inflammation was assessed by quantitative real-time PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. ER stress was significantly activated in ZOL-treated macrophages, and inhibition of ER stress by TUDCA, an ER stress inhibitor, suppressed ZOL-induced inflammation in macrophages. Mechanistically, phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) was significantly increased in ZOL-treated macrophages. Forced expression of PDE4B promoted ER stress and inflammation, whereas PDE4B knockdown decreased ZOL-induced ER stress and inflammation in macrophages. More importantly, PDE4B inhibitor could improve ZOL-induced BRONJ in vivo. These data suggest that ZOL accelerates ER stress-mediated inflammation in BRONJ by increasing PDE4B expression. PDE4B inhibition may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for BRONJ. Subsequent research should concentrate on formulating medications that selectively target PDE4B, thereby mitigating the risk of BRONJ in patients undergoing bisphosphonate treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the outcomes of several rodent animal models for studying tooth extraction-related medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). DESIGN After a search of the databases, 2004 articles were located, and 118 corroborated the inclusion factors (in vivo studies in rodents evaluating tooth extraction as a risk factor for the development of MRONJ). RESULTS Numerous studies attempting to establish an optimal protocol to induce MRONJ were found. Zoledronic acid (ZA) was the most used drug, followed by alendronate (ALN). Even when ZA did not lead to the development of MRONJ, its effect compromised the homeostasis of the bone and soft tissue. The association of other risk factors (dexamethasone, diabetes, and tooth-related inflammatory dental disease) besides tooth extraction also played a role in the development of MRONJ. In addition, studies demonstrated a relationship between cumulative dose and MRONJ. CONCLUSIONS Both ZA and ALN can lead to MRONJ in rodents when equivalent human doses (in osteoporosis or cancer treatment) are used. Local oral risk factors and tooth-related inflammatory dental disease increase the incidence of MRONJ in a tooth extraction-related rodent model.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to assess the awareness of the risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) among general dental practitioners (GDPs) and primary care physicians (PCPs), focusing on the clinical implications and coordination of treating or identifying high-risk patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two Google Forms electronic questionnaires were distributed to 724 GDPs and 617 PCPs in primary care settings. One for PCPs with eight multiple choice questions and the other for GDPs with 10 multiple choice questions. A clinical case scenario and a section on open-ended comments were included in both questionnaires. The data obtained from each group were statistically analyzed and compared. RESULTS A total of 239 GDPs and 220 PCPs participated in the study, with a response rate of 34.23%. The mean age of participants was 29.5 years and 54.35% were females (51.2% and 57.5% in the GDPs and PCPs group, respectively). Most participants had graduated from Saudi Arabia. Almost all dentists were aware of osteonecrosis of the jaw (95.1%), 68.3% of them were aware of the guidelines regarding bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) and MRONJ, 60.5% rated their general knowledge about MRONJ as very poor to poor, and 91.8% did not know any guidelines regarding BRONJ or MRONJ. Among the participants, 75.3% did not know how MRONJ was present in the oral cavity. A total of 69.9% of participants were unaware of other factors associated with an increased risk of MRONJ. CONCLUSION MRONJ risk awareness varies greatly between dentists who diagnose and manage patients in dental clinics and physicians who write about medicines and therapies. Counseling sessions and greater coordination between dental and medical specialists are strongly suggested while prescribing antiresorptive drugs to prevent the consequent development of MRONJ. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study shows a significant lack of knowledge regarding MRONJ among GDPs and PCPs, which may affect the prevention and treatment of patients. Therefore, we urge GDPS and PCPs to take more information from scientific sources on this topic and more cooperation from specialties for the benefit of patients.

Abstract
Dental implants are a predictable option to replace missing teeth. Patients on antiresorptive medications used to treat disorders associated with bone resorption may need dental implants to replace missing teeth. The data on implant failure in patients on antiresorptive medication requiring dental implants, is conflicting and limited. This systematic review aims to investigate if antiresorptive medications have any clinical impact on dental implant survival. Electronic databases were searched until May 2020. The focus question (PICOS): Participants: humans, Interventions: implant placement surgery in patients on antiresorptive medication, Comparisons: patients on antiresorptive medication vs control (patients not on antiresorptive medication), Outcomes: implant survival, and Study design: clinical studies. The protocol of this systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020209083). Fourteen nonrandomized studies were selected for data extraction and risk of bias assessment using the ROBINS-1 tool. Only studies with a control were included for the meta-analysis, 8 articles were included in the meta-analysis using implant-level data, and 5 articles were included in the meta-analysis using patient-level data. There was no statistical significance between the 2 groups at the patient level based on 265 patients. However, there was a statistically significant difference at the implant level based on 2697 implants. Therefore, antiresorptive medications, mainly bisphosphonates (BPs), may significantly contribute to implant failure. Antiresorptive medications, especially BPs may reduce implant survival and impair the osseointegration of dental implants. Failed implants in patients on BPs may not lead to osteonecrosis and may be replaced with success.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a potentially intractable disease with no definitive pathophysiology and no treatment and prevention strategies. This study aimed to investigate whether time-selective depletion of macrophages worsens BRONJ-like lesions in mice. A murine model of high-prevalence BRONJ-like lesions in combination with zoledronate/chemotherapeutic drug administration and tooth extraction was created according to the methods of our previous studies. Daily intra-oral submucosal administration of clodronate-loaded liposomes, which temporarily depletes systemic macrophages, was performed immediately after tooth extraction. Spleens, femora, tibiae, and maxillae were dissected 2 weeks after extraction to evaluate BRONJ-like lesions and systemic conditions by micro-computed tomography analysis, histomorphometric and immunofluorescent analyses, and serum chemistry with ELISA. Depletion of macrophages significantly decreased the numbers of local and systemic macrophages and osteoclasts on the bone surface, which markedly worsened osseous healing, with increased necrotic bone and empty lacunae in the existing alveolar bone and newly formed bone in the extraction sockets, and soft tissue healing, with decreased collagen production and increased infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells. Interestingly, the depletion of macrophages significantly shifted macrophage polarization to M1 macrophages through an increase in F4/80+CD38+ M1 macrophages and a decrease in F4/80+CD163+ M2 macrophages, with decreases in the total number of F4/80+ macrophages. These data demonstrated that severe inhibition of osteoclasts in bone tissue and polarization shifting of macrophages in soft tissue are essential factors associated with BRONJ.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a challenging situation in clinics. Previous studies have shown that pentoxifylline combined with tocopherol proved to be beneficial in patients with osteoradionecrosis, due to their antioxidant and antifibrotic properties. The aim of this randomized study was to evaluate the effect of pentoxifylline and tocopherol in patients that had developed MRONJ after tooth extractions. The study population consisted of 202 Stage I MRONJ female patients with an average age of 66.4 ± 8.3 years, who were divided into two groups. The test group (n = 108) received a pharmacological protocol with pentoxifylline and tocopherol (2 months pre-operatively and 6 months post-operatively). The control group (n = 94) had sequestrectomy operations without any pharmacological preparation. The main outcomes were clinical healing of the mucosa after 1 month, and clinical and radiographic healing of the bone lesion at 6 months. In the test group all patients had mucosal healing and there was only one relapse within 6 months. In the control group, in 17% of the patients the mucosa did not heal, 71% of the patients relapsed within two months, and 7% developed infectious complications (such as abscess or phlegmon). After 6 months, the control group patients with persisting issues were prescribed pentoxifylline and tocopherol, as in the test group. At a subsequent follow-up, all those patients healed completely. Patients were monitored for a period of 7.8 ± 0.3 years, during which no relapse or additional problems were reported. As a conclusion, pentoxifylline and tocopherol protocol seems to be beneficial in the management of MRONJ patients.

Abstract
In the present study, the impacts on success rates between three different antibiotic regimes in patients receiving preventive tooth extraction during/after antiresorptive treatment were compared. For the retrospective analysis, we enrolled patients who had undergone tooth extraction from 2009 to 2019 according to the specified preventive conditions under antiresorptive therapy. Three antibiotic regimens were distinguished: (Group 1) intravenous for 7 days, (Group 2) oral for 14 days, and (Group 3) oral for 7 days of application. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw at 12 weeks after surgery. A total of 760 patients and 1143 extraction regions were evaluated (Group 1 n = 719; Group 2 n = 126; Group 3 n = 298). The primary endpoint showed no significant difference in the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw between the groups studied (Group 1 n = 50/669 (7%); Group 2 n = 9/117 (7%); Group 3 n = 17/281 (6%); p = 0.746). Overall, the success rate was 93% after intervention when preventive measures were followed. With the same success rate, a reduced, oral administration of antibiotics seems to be sufficient regarding the possible spectrum of side effects, the development of resistance and the health economic point of view.

Abstract
We investigated the incidence/trend of osteonecrosis of the jaw by antiresorptive agent dose over a 5-year period in Kure city, Japan. The incidence was 24 times higher among osteoporosis patients with low-dose agents and 421 times higher among cancer patients with high-dose agents than in the population without agents. PURPOSE We launched the registry system of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) cases in 2015 to investigate the trend in ONJ incidence. The purpose of our study was to estimate the ONJ incidence among patients with antiresorptive agent use by dosage and people without antiresorptive agent use in Kure and its trend from 2016 to 2020. METHODS From 2016 to 2021, 98 eligible ONJ patients were enrolled. Medication-related ONJ (MRONJ) was diagnosed based on the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons criteria. The annual number of those with and without antiresorptive agents was obtained from the claims database. Antiresorptive agents used for cancer and osteoporosis patients were defined as high- and low-dose medications, respectively. RESULTS The annual incidence of high-dose MRONJ was 2305.8 per 100,000 and that of low-dose MRONJ was 132.5 per 100,000, while the ONJ incidence among people without antiresorptive agents was 5.1 per 100,000. The incidence ratio was 23.6 (p < 0.001, 95% confidence interval (CI) 13.3-41.8) among osteoporosis patients who used low-dose antiresorptive agents and 420.6 (p < 0.001, 95% CI 220.8-801.4) among cancer patients who used high-dose agents compared with people who did not use these agents. MRONJ incidence increased from 2016 to 2020, but the incidence of high-dose MRONJ decreased, although this was nonsignificant. CONCLUSION We demonstrated the incidence and trend of ONJ by antiresorptive agent dose over a 5-year period in Kure after launching the multiprofession study. This collaborative study for the early detection and prevention of ONJ will continue.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Antiresorptive drugs are widely used in osteology and oncology. An important adverse effect of these drugs is medication-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). There is scientific uncertainty about the underlying pathomechanism of MRONJ. A promising theory suspects infectious stimuli and local acidification with adverse effects on osteoclastic activity as crucial steps of MRONJ etiology. Clinical evidence showing a direct association between MRONJ and oral infections, such as periodontitis, without preceding surgical interventions is limited. Large animal models investigating the relationship between periodontitis and MRONJ have not been implemented. It is unclear whether the presence of infectious processes without surgical manipulation can trigger MRONJ. The following research question was formulated: is there a link between chronic oral infectious processes (periodontitis) and the occurrence of MRONJ in the absence of oral surgical procedures? Materials and Methods: A minipig large animal model for bisphosphonate-related ONJ (BRONJ) using 16 Göttingen minipigs divided into 2 groups (intervention/control) was designed and implemented. The intervention group included animals receiving i.v. bisphosphonates (zoledronate, n = 8, 0.05 mg/kg/week: ZOL group). The control group received no antiresorptive drug (n = 8: NON-ZOL group). Periodontitis lesions were induced by established procedures after 3 months of pretreatment (for the maxilla: the creation of an artificial gingival crevice and placement of a periodontal silk suture; for the mandible: the placement of a periodontal silk suture only). The outcomes were evaluated clinically and radiologically for 3 months postoperatively. After euthanasia a detailed histological evaluation was performed. Results: Periodontitis lesions could be induced successfully in all animals (both ZOL and NON-ZOL animals). MRONJ lesions of various stages developed around all periodontitis induction sites in the ZOL animals. The presence of MRONJ and periodontitis was proven clinically, radiologically and histologically. Conclusions: The results of this study provide further evidence that the infectious processes without prior dentoalveolar surgical interventions can trigger MRONJ. Therefore, iatrogenic disruption of the oral mucosa cannot be the decisive step in the pathogenesis of MRONJ.

Abstract
In the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis and more generally of neoplastic and metabolic pathologies affecting bone tissues, antiresorption drugs such as bisphosphonates and monoclonal antibody are used. Bisphosphonates have been linked to cases of osteonecrosis of the jaws since 2003 by Marx, with more and more evidence over the next two decades; together with bisphosphonate drugs, cases relating to the use of monoclonal drugs have been subsequently added. Among the main independent risk factors, we have extraction procedures in oral surgery that can affect both the mandible and the maxilla and the anterior or posterior sectors. The incidence of MRONJ treated with oral bisphosphonates ranges from 0.5% to 3% according to studies; this incidence would appear to be higher in patients treated with antiresorptive agents with neoplastic diseases. Many pathologies including those in which antiresorptive drugs are used show differences in prevalence in relation to sex; similarly, there could be differences in the incidence of cases of osteonecrosis based on gender in patients undergoing dentoalveolar surgery. Therefore, the objective of this systematic review and trial sequential analysis was to identify and quantify whether there is a proportionally greater risk of MRONJ in male or female subjects and whether there is evidence of greater involvement of osteonecrosis at several extraction sites, differentiating them into mandibular or maxilla and in the anterior or posterior sector. The revision protocol followed the indications of the Cochrane Handbook, and were recorded in Prospero, while the drafting of the manuscript was based on PRISMA. The results of the systematic review, after the study identification and selection process, included a total of 24 studies. The results of the meta-analysis reports: odds ratio (random effects model): 1.476 (0.684, 3.184) between male and female; odds ratio (random effects model): 1.390 (0.801, 2.412) between mandible and maxillary, and an odds ratio value of 0.730 (0.250, 2.137) between the anterior and posterior extraction sites. In conclusion, we can see that there was a trend in the onset of MRONJ as a complication of dentoalveolar surgical procedures, which proportionally mostly involved the male sex and the posterior mandibular sectors, however, this trend must be further confirmed by additional studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the diagnostic accuracy in detecting early non-vital bone changes between orthopantomography (OPT) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in correlation with histopathological findings before tooth extractions in patients with antiresorptive (AR) intake. SUBJECTS Patients with an indication tooth extraction who had received OPT and CBCT preoperatively while or after undergoing AR treatment were prospectively enrolled over a 24-month period in the progesterone in spontaneous miscarriage (PRISM) trial. Imaging studies were randomly analyzed by three examiners for early non-vital bone changes using specific predefined characteristics and a 5-level scale (1 definite absence of criteria to 5 definite presence of criteria). Sensitivity and specificity values were calculated in correlation with the histopathologically evaluated bone samples at the time point of tooth extraction. RESULTS One hundred thirty patients with 237 treated extraction sites met the inclusion criteria. For all images evaluated by all examiners, CBCT (430/492; 87.4%; receiver operating characteristic [ROC]: area under the curve [AUC] = 0.88; p < 0.001) was more likely to detect histopathologically confirmed non-vital bone than the OPT (132/492; 26.8%; ROC: AUC = 0.562; p = 0.115). CONCLUSIONS In the detection of non-vital bone changes, CBCT is superior to OPT in both sensitivity and specificity. Specific imaging characteristics allow for the prediction of early non-vital bone changes already at the time before tooth extractions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the 12-months incidence of MRONJ after tooth extractions and possible related risk factors in patients with osteoporosis treated by means of oral bisphosphonates. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-five records of osteoporotic patients on therapy with oral bisphosphonates and treated with at least one dental extraction at the Department of Oral Surgery of University of Naples Federico II were selected. All patients were treated using a standardized surgical extraction protocol. At baseline and after 12-months follow-up, the following variables were recorded: "mucosal healing", "gender", "type of drug"; "duration of therapy"; "drug holiday". The collected data were analyzed and a linear regression analysis was performed to assess a possible correlation with onset MRONJ. RESULTS A total of 159 tooth extraction in 43 females (95.6%) and in 2 males (4.4%) with a mean age of 67.5 ± 3 years were available for the analysis. The majority part of patients was on therapy with alendronate (23; 51.2%), 11 patients (24.4%) were treated with risedronate and 11 (24.4%) with ibandronate. Before oral surgery, 84% of the patients showed a low-medium risk of MRONJ, while in 16% of the patients a medium-high risk was recorded. After 12-months follow-up, osteonecrosis was observed in 1 patient, with an overall incidence of MRONJ of 0.6%. The linear regression showed a significant correlation with MRONJ onset only for "gender" variable, with a R2 of 0.489. CONCLUSIONS Within their limitations, the outcomes of the study indicate that the risk of MRONJ after tooth extraction in osteoporotic patients taking bisphosphonates for OS is very low. A prolonged and specific antibiotic and antiseptic therapy, in addition to a surgical procedure as little traumatic as possible, will allow to perform oral surgery safely.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a detrimental intraoral lesion that occurs in patients with long-term or high-dose use of anti-resorptive agents such as bisphosphonates. Tooth extraction is a known risk factor for BRONJ, and such intervention is often performed to eliminate existing pathological inflammatory conditions. Previously, we determined that ligature-induced periodontitis (LIP) is a risk factor for the development of osteonecrosis in mice, but it remains unclear whether the chronicity of LIP followed by extraction influences osteonecrosis development. In this study, we assess the effect of short-term and long-term LIP (ligature placed for 3 weeks [S-LIP] or 10 weeks [L-LIP], respectively) on osteonecrosis development in mice receiving 250 μg/kg/week zoledronic acid (ZOL). When compared to S-LIP, L-LIP caused 70% (p ≤ 0.0014) more bone loss without altering microbe composition. In the presence of ZOL, bone loss mediated by LIP was prevented and bone necrosis was induced. When the ligated tooth was extracted, histologic hallmarks of osteonecrosis including empty lacunae and necrotic bone were increased by 88% (p = 0.0374) and 114% (p = 0.0457), respectively, in L-LIP compared to S-LIP. We also observed significant increases in serum platelet factor 4 (PF4) and macrophage inflammatory factor 1 γ (MIP1γ) in mice that received ZOL treatment and had tooth extractions compared to controls, which may be systemic markers of inflammation-associated osteonecrosis development. Additionally, CD3+ T cells were identified as the major immune population in both health and disease, and we observed a 116% (p = 0.0402) increase in CD3+IL23R+ T cells in L-LIP compared to S-LIP lesions following extraction. Taken together, our study reveals that extracting a periodontally compromised tooth increases the formation of necrotic bone compared to extracting a periodontally healthy tooth and that osteonecrosis may be associated with the duration of the preexisting pathological inflammatory conditions. © 2022 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
The number of patients with metabolic osteopathies and oncological diseases occurring with the formation of bone metastases is constantly growing and requires special attention not only of oncologists, but also maxillofacial surgeons, dental surgeons and periodontists, due to severe complications from the oral cavity, against the background of antiresorptive therapy with bisphosphonates. These drugs are associated with the development of necrotic processes of the jaw bones and surrounding tissues. It is worth noting the fact that the development of complications after taking these drugs leads to a significant increase in the suffering of patients. The importance of an integrated approach to the treatment and prevention of such complications is extremely important, as it reduces the risk of possible complications and improves the quality of life of this group of patients.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a potentially severe adverse event affecting patients with cancer and patients with osteoporosis who have been treated with powerful antiresorptives (pARs) or angiogenesis inhibitors (AgIs). pARs, including nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs; e.g., zoledronic acid, alendronate) and anti-RANKL antibodies (e.g., denosumab), are used to manage bone metastases in patients with cancer or to prevent fragility fractures in patients with osteoporosis. Though significant advances have been made in understanding MRONJ, its pathophysiology is still not fully elucidated. Multiple species have been used in preclinical MRONJ research, including the rat, mouse, rice rat, rabbit, dog, sheep, and pig. Animal research has contributed immensely to advancing the MRONJ field, particularly, but not limited to, in developing models and investigating risk factors that were first observed in humans. MRONJ models have been developed using clinically relevant doses of systemic risk factors, like N-BPs, anti-RANKL antibodies, or AgIs. Specific local oral risk factors first noted in humans, including tooth extraction and inflammatory dental disease (e.g., periodontitis, periapical infection, etc.), were then added. Research in rodents, particularly the rat, and, to some extent, the mouse, across multiple laboratories, has contributed to establishing multiple relevant and complementary preclinical models. Models in larger species produced accurate clinical and histopathologic outcomes suggesting a potential role for confirming specific crucial findings from rodent research. We view the current state of animal models for MRONJ as good. The rodent models are now reliable enough to produce large numbers of MRONJ cases that could be applied in experiments testing treatment modalities. The course of MRONJ, including stage 0 MRONJ, is characterized well enough that basic studies of the molecular or enzyme-level findings in different MRONJ stages are possible. This review provides a current overview of the existing models of MRONJ, their more significant features and findings, and important instances of their application in preclinical research.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a potentially severe adverse side effect of antiresorptive agents. However, withdrawal of such agents in patients with osteoporosis may increase the risk of fracture. The treatment of MRONJ is challenging, and standard treatment guidelines have yet to be established. In this study, the aim was to find out whether adjuvant daily or weekly teriparatide (TPTD) injections were beneficial for exposed bony MRONJ lesions compared with standard conservative management. We also studied the complications and the patients' response to TPTD therapy. We enrolled 27 patients (January 2012 - December 2016) with chronic and refractory MRONJ. There were four men and 23 women (85% female). Nine patients who did not select TPTD therapy for several reasons formed the non-TPTD group; the remaining 18 were randomly assigned to the daily (n=9) or weekly (n=9) groups. All patients in both groups continued standard conservative therapy in addition to their daily or weekly subcutaneous injection of TPTD (20 μg or 56.5 μg, respectively). We evaluated the complications of TPTD and its benefits. Three patients in the daily group did not complete the study, resulting in six patients in the daily group, nine in the weekly group, and nine in the non-TPTD group in the final analysis. The exposed bone was completely covered with normal mucosa in all patients in the TPTD groups, and the healing period was shorter than that in the non-TPTD group. No patient had complications of atypical fractures of the femoral head. Daily and weekly TPTD treatment resulted in a shortened treatment period compared with standard conservative therapy, with no increase in the rate of complications or worsening of osteoporosis.

Abstract
Aim: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) occurs after exposure to medication (antiresorptive or antiangiogenic agents) for bone-related complications. It is more common in the mandible than in the maxilla. The present study investigated maxillary MRONJ in elderly patients through a meta-analysis. Methods: Keywords, including “MRONJ”, “maxilla”, and “surgery”, were entered into databases, including Embase, PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and ProQuest, which were searched systematically. Results: Investigating 77 studies, we found that 18 (2 case reports and 16 case series) papers conformed to the standards. The results revealed a 2.6:1 female-to-male ratio of disease occurrence. The average age of patients was 70.6 ± 5.5 years, and most patients were in the third stage (43.6%). The average time of medication usage was 50.0 ± 20.1 months. The pooled proportion of clinical efficacy of surgery was 86%. Conclusion: To prevent and manage MRONJ, all elderly patients should maintain proper oral hygiene and receive dental examinations regularly. Risk assessment and safety management of MRONJ should be performed by medical teams.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonate and denosumab are widely used for the treatment of osteoporosis and bone metastasis of cancer to prevent excessive bone resorption. Osteonecrosis of the jaw is a serious adverse effect of bisphosphonate or denosumab referred to as bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) or denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (DRONJ), respectively. Since bisphosphonate and denosumab inhibit bone resorption by different mechanism, we evaluated whether these drug types result in different histopathological characteristics related to bone resorption. MATERIALS AND METHODS We histopathologically investigated 10 cases of BRONJ, DRONJ, and suppurative osteomyelitis. Paraffin sections prepared from decalcified dissected jaw bones were used for histopathological observation, second harmonic generation imaging, and bone histomorphometry. The samples were also observed by a scanning electron microscope. RESULTS Numerous bone resorption lacunae were observed on the necrotic bone surface in almost all cases of BRONJ; however, such resorption lacunae were limited in DRONJ and suppurative osteomyelitis. Prominent bone resorption lacunae were also confirmed by second harmonic generation imaging and scanning electron microscopy in BRONJ, but not in DRONJ or suppurative osteomyelitis. As determined by bone histomorphometry, the number of bone resorption lacunae and the length of the erosion surface of resorption lacunae were significantly higher in BRONJ group than in the DRONJ and suppurative osteomyelitis groups. These parameters were correlated between the necrotic bones and the vital bones in BRONJ. CONCLUSIONS Persistent bone resorption lacunae on the necrotic bone surface are unique to BRONJ, providing a basis for distinguishing BRONJ from DRONJ and OM in histopathological diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among the myriad adverse events of drugs in the oral cavity, Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is one of the most detrimental drug reactions that have ever been known. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to investigate the success of applying collagen scaffold alone and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)+collagen scaffold in prevention of zoledronic acid-induced BRONJ in the rat. METHODS A total of 17 male Wistar-rats were treated with 4 weekly doses of zoledronic acid. All rats were undergone bilateral tooth extraction of mandibular first molars and divided into three groups of scaffold + PRP + suture, scaffold + suture, and suture only. All rats were scarified and clinical, radiological, histological and histomorphomerical evaluations were made on week 8 post-treatment. The soft tissue healing, bone mineralized density (BMD), number of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, necrotic bone (NB), intensity of inflammation and new bone formation (NBF) were analyzed. RESULTS BMD, number of osteoblasts and NBF variables proved to be statistically were higher in the treatment groups than the control group. In addition, the PRP + scaffold group showed the better results in terms of BMD, number of osteoblasts and NBF than that of the scaffold alone group. Number of osteoclasts, inflammation intensity and osteonecrosis were also significantly different in the PRP + scaffold group compared to the scaffold alone and the control groups. CONCLUSION Application of a PRP-enriched collagen scaffold appeared to be a successful preventive treatment for BRONJ by effecting of the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, BMD, NBF, inflammation, and osteonecrosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of zoledronic acid (ZA) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) attached to different surfaces. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of three groups were evaluated in this study: sandblasting and acid etching (SLA) + HUVECs; mechanically polished (MP) + HUVECs; and plastic cell culture plates + HUVECs. Scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, surface roughness and water contact angle were tested for titanium surface characterisation. ZA was added at different concentrations (0, 1, 10, 50 and 100 μM). Cell adhesion, proliferation, viability, apoptosis and gene expression were evaluated. RESULTS Mechanically polished and SLA surfaces showed negative effects on cell adhesion and proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis with 100 μM ZA (p < .05). The highest expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and angiopoietin-1 was found on SLA surfaces (p < .01). The lowest expression of platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 and ICAM-1 was found on MP surfaces (p < .05). A significant decrease in von Willebrand factor was detected on MP and SLA surfaces (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Zoledronic acid has an anti-angiogenic effect on HUVECs attached to titanium implants, while the SLA surface might stimulate HUVECs to express angiogenic and adhesive factor genes despite ZA treatment.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and timing of recombinant human parathyroid hormone analog (PTH) administration for preventing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) using a murine model. After standardized MRONJ induction using zoledronic acid and dexamethasone injections, 48 female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups according to the timing of PTH administration before or after dental extraction. Rats were euthanized 3 weeks after dental extraction, followed by clinical and histologic analyses. No clinical improvements were observed in the preoperative and postoperative PTH groups, compared to controls (p = 0.638 and 0.496, respectively). However, on histological analysis, the number of empty lacunae reduced significantly, and the number of blood vessels increased in the preoperative PTH group (p = 0.004 and 0.002, respectively). The postoperative PTH group did not show significant differences for empty lacunae and blood vessels compared to controls (p = 0.075 and 0.194, respectively). The reduction in the empty lacunae and the increase in the blood vessels in the preoperative PTH group were significant compared to other groups, suggesting more viable bone tissue in this group. In perspective, preoperative PTH use may represent a better prophylactic regimen for preventing the occurrence of MRONJ after traumatic dental or surgical procedures, especially in patients with a history of long-term bisphosphonate administration or at high risk of developing MRONJ. However, the findings should be proven in further studies on other animals followed by clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of repeated administration of zoledronic acid (ZA) on the development and severity of osteonecrosis of the jaws. METHODS In the experiment, 36 rats were used, which were divided into 4 groups: group 1 was injected with saline for 6 weeks, group 2 was injected with ZA once, group 3 was injected zoledronic acid for 3 weeks once a week, group 4 was injected with ZA for 6 weeks once a week. While taking medications, the tooth was removed. The volumetric blood flow rate was studied using laser and high-frequency ultrasound Doppler in the area of the periodontium of an extracted tooth in rats with the application of acetylcholine. Bone tissue was examined out using CBCT. RESULTS In group 2, there was a violation of blood flow in the mucous membrane, bone microcirculation, but no reliable data was obtained in the bone defect in comparison with group 1. In groups 3 and 4, there was significantly disrupted blood flow. This led to an increase of the osteonecrosis (maximum at the 4th group), which was confirmed by data obtained using CBCT. An inverse relationship was observed between the blood flow of bone tissue and the size of the defect after tooth extraction. CONCLUSION The introduction of ZA in a dose-dependent fashion resulted in impaired endothelial vasodilation and impaired blood flow to extraction sockets. These findings might explain the development of osteonecrosis of the mandible following removal of a first molar.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a severe clinical condition characterized mostly but not exclusively by an area of exposed bone in the mandible and/or maxilla that typically does not heal over a period of 6-8 weeks. The diagnosis is first of all clinical, but an imaging feedback such as Magnetic Resonance is essential to confirm clinical suspicions. In the last few decades, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) has been widely discussed. From the first case reported in 2003, many case series and reviews have appeared in the scientific literature. Almost all papers concerning this topic conclude that bisphosphonates (BPs) can induce this severe clinical condition, particularly in cancer patients. Nevertheless, the exact mechanism by which amino-BPs would be responsible for ONJ is still debatable. Recent findings suggest a possible alternative explanation for BPs role in this pattern. In the present work we discuss how a condition of osteomalacia and low vitamin D levels might be determinant factors.

Abstract
(1) Background: Multiple myeloma is a rare cancer that primarily affects the bone marrow. Osteoclasts are responsible for increased bone resorption and, therefore, bone destruction. Bisphosphonates are a class of drugs that can slow down bone resorption by reducing the number and action of osteoclasts. Intravenous injections of bisphosphonates (generally Zoledronic Acid) are administered to patients affected by Multiple Myeloma, but BRONJ is described as a serious side effect. This 5-year retrospective study aims to evaluate the efficacy of appropriate dental treatment protocols prior to initiating bisphosphonate therapy to prevent the development of BRONJ. (2) Methods: A total of 99 patients with symptomatic multiple myeloma were involved in this study (41-90 years, mean age 65 years, standard deviation 5 years). The data relating to the visits were tracked using a specific server and consulting the clinical reports. The AAOMS (American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons) position was applied for both diagnosis and treatment. A total of 79 patients were examined before the administration of bisphosphonates (group A) and 20 after (group B). (3) Results: The entire sample required dental treatment: 23.2% underwent restorative therapy, 8% endodontic treatments, 44.4% tooth extractions. Periodontal disease was present in 41.4% of the patients. No osteonecrosis was observed in the first group, whereas BRONJ was found in five patients of the second one (25%) and two patients (10%) showed osteosclerotic areas under investigation [OR 0.026 (CI 0.0027 to 0.2454)]. (4) Conclusions: In the literature, there are no precise data about the prevalence of BRONJ. Despite the limitation of the present study, we point out that dental treatment before the treatment with intravenous bisphosphonates can help in reducing the incidence of BRONJ and good dental status is necessary for BRONJ prevention.

Abstract
Treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is challenging and no clear consensus has been achieved. This study investigated preventive measures recommended for tooth extractions under antiresorptive (AR) treatment and the role of discontinuation of AR therapy to avoid the onset of MRONJ in a minipig model. Thirty-six Göttingen minipigs were divided into four groups. Group 1 (negative control): tooth extractions but no zoledronate (ZOL). Group 2 (positive control): weekly ZOL infusions for 12 weeks followed by tooth extractions without wound management followed by 8 weeks of ZOL treatment. Group 3: weekly ZOL infusions for 12 weeks followed by tooth extractions; surgical wound management (resection of sharp bone edges, mucoperiosteal coverage); and continuation of ZOL infusions for 8 weeks plus antibiotic treatment. Group 4: 12 weeks of ZOL infusions followed by a drug holiday for 6 weeks. Tooth extractions with preventive wound management followed by antibiotic treatment for 8 weeks but no ZOL infusions. Jawbones were subjected to macroscopic, radiological (CT and micro-CT) and histopathological investigations. No clinical cases of MRONJ were observed in the negative group, in the positive control all animals developed MRONJ. Group 3 developed MRONJ in 83% of cases. With a drug holiday, 40% developed MRONJ in areas of tooth extraction. This is the first large animal model that reduces the occurrence of MRONJ following tooth extraction by the implementation of a drug holiday combined with antibiotic prophylaxis and smoothening of sharp bony edges. © 2020 The Authors.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) results in progressive destruction of the jawbones, and advanced cases demand surgical intervention. The total removal of necrotic bone is required to prevent recurrence and infection. However, determining the limits between necrotic and healthy bone is a challenge. The use of fluorescence to detect tissue alterations and determine necrosis extension is a promising method to avoid inadequate bone debridement. In the literature, there are several studies and reported cases that successfully use fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) of MRONJ. The objective of this study was to present a critical review of the literature regarding the intraoperative use of optic fluorescence to differentiate healthy and necrotic bone in MRONJ. Studies that evaluated the intraoperative use of optic fluorescence to determine the surgical margins of MRONJ were searched in Pubmed/Medline and Scopus databases using the following terms: "medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws" and "fluorescence". Eighteen papers describing the intraoperative use of FGS in ONJ management were selected, totalizing 218 patients. Of those 18 papers, only 5 were prospective studies, and the other 13 were isolated case reports, case series, and technical notes. The use of FGS to delimitate the resection margin of MRONJ is a promising method. There is no need for the application of exogenous fluorophore to perform FGS and the most often used light device was the VELScope® system. Further prospective studies with larger samples are still required to ascertain the fluorescence validity as a supporting method in MRONJ surgical treatment and to establish clinical protocols.

Abstract
The AAOMS in 2014 changed from BRONJ to the term Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ), because of the growing number of osteonecrosis cases associated with other antiresorptive and antiangiogenic therapies. Even if the drugs involved are different, the histopathological findings are the same. Colonies of Actinomyces are encountered in most cases. The aim of the present study is to report on Actinomyces prevalence among the cases of MRONJ, taking into consideration also antiresorptive and antiangiogenic therapies in the literature and in our sample between 2005 and 2020. The review was performed using the database Medline the linkage between Actinomyces infection and MRONJ. The retrospective study was conducted on patients between with clinical and radiological manifestations of MRONJ May 2005 and February 2020. A total of 42 articles were found, 30 publications have been taken into consideration for the review. A total of 114 patients have been examined at the Padua Hospital. A total of 101 oncological patients presented the histological confirmation of MRONJ. 83 specimens revealed the presence of Actinomyces infection (82.18%). Actinomyces-associated lesions are frequent and present a wide spectrum of clinical manifestation.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a complex disease which can be associated with multiple morbidities and is challenging to treat. This review evaluates the literature on the role and efficacy of teriparatide (TPTD) as a treatment for MRONJ. The clinical, radiological, histopathological and serological parameters used to assess treatment response have been described. Electronic databases were searched to retrieve articles (April 2005 and April 2020) based on strict inclusion criteria. Seventeen articles were included in this review. Of the 91 patients treated; only six received TPTD as a standalone treatment. There were significant variations in defining treatment outcomes and measuring treatment response. The longest follow-up period was 26 months, and 12 studies failed to report follow-up. The overall quality of evidence is weak with potential for a high risk of bias, making it difficult to determine the efficacy of TPTD and its long-term effects. However, TPTD may play a role in the treatment of intractable MRONJ in osteoporotic patients or those unfit for surgery. Therefore, randomized clinical trials on larger patient cohorts with long-term follow-up is required to confirm efficacy, safety and inform treatment indications for TPTD in the treatment of MRONJ.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare success rates between the sub-periosteal prepared (SPP) muco-periosteal flap and the epi-periosteal prepared (EPP) mucosa flap and the feasibility of alveoplasty after surgical tooth extractions in patients undergoing/after antiresorptive treatment. SUBJECTS Patients with an indication for preventive tooth extraction undergoing/after antiresorptive treatment were enrolled over a 24-month period in a parallel-group randomized clinical pilot trial and randomly assigned for primary wound closure to either the SPP or the EPP group. The primary outcome was treatment failure 8 weeks after surgery. To assess the feasibility of alveoplasty, necrotic bone changes at the time point of tooth extraction were evaluated. RESULTS One hundred and sixty patients were randomized to the SSP (n = 82) or the EPP (n = 78) group. One hundred and fifty-seven patients met the primary endpoint 8 weeks after surgery with five treatment failures for the SPP group (6.3%) and 18 (23.4%) for the EPP group (p = .004). A significant relationship (p < .0001) was observed between symptomatic teeth and non-vital bone found in 54.8% of all biopsies. CONCLUSIONS The strong superiority of the muco-periosteal flap as primary wound closure revealed the feasibility and effectiveness of the study. The large number of necrotic biopsies emphasizes the importance of alveoplasty as a preventive measure.

Abstract
An increasing number of patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) has recently been reported. It is still being debated whether the presence or placement of dental implants can lead to MRONJ, so the aim of this study was to find out whether dental implants are a risk factor for MRONJ. From January 2003-January 2019 180 patients with MRONJ were seen at the Leiden University Medical Center. Luxating moments for the onset of MRONJ were calculated retrospectively. We collected clinical data and details of antiresorptive medication and found 22 patients with both dental implants and MRONJ. In 18 patients the implants were in the region of the MRONJ and they were included in this study, 14 who had had implants before using antiresorptive drugs and four who had had antiresorptive drugs before or at the time that the implants were placed. The median times between the placement of implants and the diagnosis of MRONJ in these two groups were 24 months and 6 months, respectively. Among the 47 implants, 30 were located in the necrotic region, and all 30 were either lost spontaneously or had to be removed during treatment of MRONJ. Our results show an increased risk for developing MRONJ in patients with dental implants. Both peri-implantitis around previously placed implants, and insertion of dental implants, are risk factors. Prevention of peri-implantitis and caution when inserting dental implants in patients who take antiresorptive medication are therefore important.

Abstract
Objectives Fluorescence-guided bone surgery is a well-established technique in the treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. No histopathological evidence for bone auto-fluorescence is currently available, and thus, any differences from tetracycline-fluorescence remain unclear. Therefore, the goals of this study were to find out if macroscopic and histological differences occur between the auto- and tetracycline-fluorescence in the delineation of viable and necrotic jawbone in the mini-pig. Materials and methods According to the proof of concept, osteonecrosis was provoked in eight Göttingen minipigs. Pigs were divided into two groups (AF group: no fluorochrome label; TF group: tetracycline label). Delineation of necrosis and viable bone was evaluated in vivo and in vitro macro−/microscopically, correlated to fluorescence properties and compared between the two study groups. Results No macroscopic and microscopic clinical differences were seen in fluorescence between the AF and TF groups. Macroscopic and microscopic viable bone fluoresced green, whereas necrotic bone showed no or only pale fluorescence in both groups. The auto-fluorescence was attributable to the arrangements and structure of collagen and the cell-filled bone lacunae. Conclusion Neither in vivo nor in vitro macroscopically differences are apparent between the auto-fluorescence and the tetracycline-fluorescence of bone. The auto-fluorescence is attributable to the arrangements and structure of collagen and the cell-filled bone lacunae. Tetracycline-fluorescence is a mixture of tetracycline (at the bone edges with increased bone formation) and large components of auto-fluorescence. Clinical relevance Because auto-fluorescence is easy to apply, reproducible, and does not rely on the subjective impression of the surgeon, it promises to be an important standardized alternative to tetracycline-labeled MRONJ therapy.

Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a side effect of bisphosphonate therapy, characterised by exposed necrotic bone. The soft tissues of the oral mucosa no longer provide a protective barrier and MRONJ patients experience pain, infections and difficulties eating. We hypothesised that hydroxyapatite (Ca5(PO4)3(OH)) could reduce bisphosphonate concentrations and protect the oral mucosa by exploiting bisphosphonate's calcium binding affinity. The effect of zoledronic acid (ZA) and pamidronic acid (PA) on the metabolism of oral fibroblasts, oral keratinocytes and three-dimensional oral mucosa models was investigated and then repeated in the presence of hydroxyapatite granules. Without hydroxyapatite, ZA and PA significantly reduced the metabolic activity of oral cells in a dose-dependent manner. Both drugs reduced epithelial thickness and 30 µM ZA resulted in loss of the epithelium. Hydroxyapatite granules had a protective effect on oral cells, with metabolic activity retained. Oral mucosa models retained their multi-layered epithelium when treated with ZA in the presence of hydroxyapatite granules and metabolic activity was comparable to controls. These results demonstrate hydroxyapatite granules protected oral soft tissues from damage caused by bisphosphonate exposure. Porous hydroxyapatite granules are currently used for socket preservation and this data suggests their potential to prevent MRONJ in at-risk patients.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV) is a phytoestrogen with a wide range of therapeutic effects, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This study was performed to evaluate the protective role of RSV against osteonecrosis after tooth extraction in rats treated with bisphosphonates. Thirty-nine male Wistar rats, weighing 300-350 g, were divided into three groups (n = 13) according to the planned drug regimen: alendronate + dexamethasone (AL/DEX), alendronate + dexamethasone + RSV (AL/DEX/RSV), and no drugs (control group). The first and second molars of each rat were extracted and the extraction sites were analysed histologically 14 days later. The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis by means of Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, χ2, and Fisher's exact tests using IBM SPSS software at a significance level of 0.05. The incidence of osteonecrosis was significantly lower in the AL/DEX/RSV group (P = 0.001) and control group (P = 0.041) than in the AL/DEX group, while the amount of new bone formation did not differ significantly between the AL/DEX/RSV and AL/DEX groups (P > 0.05). RSV showed a protective effect by significantly reducing osteonecrosis, which could be due to its antioxidant effects.

Abstract
The morbidity of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is also increasing with the use of bisphosphonates (BPs). Removing affected bone accurately is the most effective treatment. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of Indocyanine green (ICG)-based Near-Infrared fluorescence (NIF) imaging to remove BRONJ affected bone. Firstly, the rat model of BRONJ was constructed. And 5 mg/kg ICG were injected via tail vein, after 12 hr, the affected and healthy bone were dissected for ICG-based NIF imaging and quantification detection of fluorescence intensity. Finally, all the bone samples were sent for further pathological examination. All the affected bone tissues in rat BRONJ model were fluorescence developed with ICG. And the fluorescence developed regions were further confirmed as affected bone tissues with pathological examination. The fluorescence intensity in affected bone tissues, adjacent, and opposite bone tissues was 1.93*107 ± 2.08*106, 1.19*106 ± 2.33*105, and 1.24*106 ± 1.57*105, respectively (p < .05). Conclusions It was feasible that the extent of affected bone in rat model with BRONJ could be estimated intraoperative via ICG-based NIF imaging. This novel approach would become an auxiliary method in the treatment of patients with BRONJ in the future.

MATERIALS AND METHODS To establish the BRONJ model, 20 mice were randomly divided into two groups: a group that received tail vein administration of zoledronic acid with dexamethasone (ZA-125 µg/kg, DEX 5 mg/kg) and a group that received saline weekly. The mice subsequently underwent bilateral maxillary first molar extraction. After 8 weeks of modelling administration, the maxilla samples were examined by micro-computed tomography and histological staining (haematoxylin and eosin, Masson's trichrome and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) and the cytokine level was measured (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot). To determine the role of TPTD in BRONJ, the same protocol as previously described was applied in 100 mice (80 received ZA + DEX, and 20 received saline). After 8 weeks of modelling administration, 80 ZA + DEX mice were randomly divided into four groups: three groups with subcutaneous administration of TPTD (i.e. T1-3, T2-10 and T3-30 µg kg-1 day-1 ) and one group with saline daily for the next 8 weeks. The other 20 saline mice continued to receive saline daily. RESULTS In Part 1, the level of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa Β ligand and the numbers of osteoclasts differed between the model and control groups. In Part 2, we found that TPTD had a positive effect on BRONJ in a mouse model based on clinical and histomorphological observations. Among the three treatment groups, the T1 and T2 groups significantly differed from the model group, whereas the T3 group showed no statistical differences. CONCLUSION Subcutaneous administration of TPTD has a beneficial effect on BRONJ in mice. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to determine whether the therapeutic effect on BRONJ is dose-dependent.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate (BP)-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, previously known as BRONJ, now referred to more broadly as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), is a morbid condition that represents a significant risk for oncology patients who have received high dose intravenous (IV) infusion of a potent nitrogen containing BP (N-BP) drug. At present, no clinical procedure is available to prevent or effectively treat MRONJ. Although the pathophysiological basis is not yet fully understood, legacy adsorbed N-BP in jawbone has been proposed to be associated with BRONJ by one or more mechanisms. We hypothesized that removal of the pre-adsorbed N-BP drug common to these pathological mechanisms from alveolar bone could be an effective preventative/therapeutic strategy. This study demonstrates that fluorescently labeled BP pre-adsorbed on the surface of murine maxillo-cranial bone in vivo can be displaced by subsequent application of other BPs. We previously described rodent BRONJ models involving the combination of N-BP treatment such as zoledronate (ZOL) and dental initiating factors such as tooth extraction. We further refined our mouse model by using gel food during the first 7 days of the tooth extraction wound healing period, which decreased confounding food pellet impaction problems in the open boney socket. This refined mouse model does not manifest BRONJ-like severe jawbone exposure, but development of osteonecrosis around the extraction socket and chronic gingival inflammation are clearly exhibited. In this study, we examined the effect of benign BP displacement of legacy N-BP on tooth extraction wound healing in the in vivo model. Systemic IV administration of a low potency BP (lpBP: defined as inactive at 100 μM in a standard protein anti-prenylation assay) did not significantly attenuate jawbone osteonecrosis. We then developed an intra-oral formulation of lpBP, which when injected into the gingiva adjacent to the tooth prior to extraction, dramatically reduced the osteocyte necrosis area. Furthermore, the tooth extraction wound healing pattern was normalized, as evidenced by timely closure of oral soft tissue without epithelial hyperplasia, significantly reduced gingival inflammation and increased new bone filling in the extraction socket. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that local application of a rescue BP prior to dental surgery can decrease the amount of a legacy N-BP drug in proximate jawbone surfaces below the threshold that promotes osteocyte necrosis. This observation should provide a conceptual basis for a novel strategy to improve socket healing in patients treated with BPs while preserving therapeutic benefit from anti-resorptive N-BP drug in vertebral and appendicular bones.

Abstract
Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), characterized by refractory bone exposure, has recently emerged as a serious side effect of bisphosphonate (BPs) treatment. We discuss novel insights that may help to improve the efficacy of BRONJ treatment and prevention. Our report highlights the following: (1) The presence of exposed bone in patients taking BPs does not necessarily reflect BRONJ, and diagnoses of oral ulceration with bone sequestration and malignancy must be excluded. (2) Osteonecrosis type of BRONJ is difficult to avoid using preventive dental measures alone. However, as with osteomyelitis type of BRONJ, preventive dental measures are indispensable for reducing the risk of secondary infection and disease progression. (3) The importance of tooth extraction as a risk factor for BRONJ among patients taking BPs has been overstated, particularly when they are administered at low doses. Delaying tooth extraction may increase the risk for the onset and progression of osteomyelitic BRONJ. (4) In patients taking low doses of BPs, dental implant surgery is not necessarily contraindicated if there are no other risk factors, such as combined use of corticosteroids or concomitant diabetes. However, the risk of BRONJ due to peri-implantitis must be explained when obtaining patient consent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To devise a macroscopic, radiological, and histological scale for assessing pathological changes associated with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in a minipig model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw was induced in Göttingen minipigs by weekly intravenous administration of bisphosphonate (zoledronic acid) combined with a tooth extraction procedure. Controls either did not receive zoledronic acid or did not undergo tooth extraction. After 20 weeks, minipigs were euthanized and underwent computed tomography and micro-computed tomography scanning. The mandible underwent additional histological examination. RESULTS The most consistent macroscopic findings in animals that had developed bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) were necrotic, denuded bone, and formation of fistula and pus. Under radiological examination, impaired extraction socket healing, decrease in attenuation of bone beneath the extraction site, and periosteal reaction were observed. Under histological examination, demineralization of the extracellular bone matrix, denuding of bone, and osteonecrosis were recorded. CONCLUSION These parameters were used to develop a scoring system for grading BRONJ.

Abstract
Background With an increasing indication spectrum of antiresorptive drugs, the medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw secondary to bisphosphonate therapy [MRONJ (BP)] is continuously gaining clinical relevance. Impaired osteoclast function, accompanied by altered cell morphology and expression of osteoclastic effector proteins, contributes to the pathogenesis of MRONJ (BP). However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms at a transcriptional level are unaddressed so far. These mechanisms are crucial to the development of disease-characteristic osteoclastic anomalies, that contribute to the pathogenesis of MRONJ (BP). NFATc1 is considered a master upstream osteoclastic activator, whereas BCL6 acts as osteoclastic suppressor. The present study aimed to elucidate the NFATc1 and BCL6 mediated osteoclastic regulation and activity in MRONJ (BP) compared to osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and osteomyelitis (OM) and normal jaw bone. Methods Formalin-fixed jaw bone specimens from 70 patients [MRONJ (BP) n = 30; OM: n = 15, ORN: n = 15, control: n = 10] were analyzed retrospectively for osteoclast expression of NFATc1 and BCL6. The specimens were processed for H&E staining and immunohistochemistry. The histological sections were digitalized and analyzed by virtual microscopy. Results Osteoclastic expression of NFATc1 and BCL6 was significantly higher in MRONJ (BP) specimens compared to OM and control specimens. NFATc1 and BCL6 labeling indices revealed no significant differences between MRONJ (BP) and ORN. The ratio of nuclear BCL6+ osteoclasts to cytoplasmic BCL6+ osteoclasts revealed significantly higher values for MRONJ (BP) specimens compared to OM and controls. Conclusion This study displays that osteoclasts in MRONJ (BP) tissues feature increased expression of the higher-level regulators, paradoxically of both NFATc1 and BCL6. These observations can help to explain the genesis of morphologically altered and resorptive inactive osteoclasts in MRONJ (BP) tissues by outlining the transcriptional regulation of the pathomechanically relevant osteoclastic effector proteins. Furthermore, they strengthen the etiological delineation of MRONJ (BP) from OM and extend the osteoclast profiles of MRONJ (BP), OM and ORN and thus could lead to a better histopathological differentiation that can improve treatment decision and motivate new therapeutic concepts.

Abstract
MRONJ/ARONJ is a serious adverse effect of medication, although the incidence of the disease is rare, and there are still controversial issues regarding the pathogenesis of MRONJ/ARONJ. Medications that can lead to MRONJ/ARONJ are commonly used to treat osteoporosis and to prevent bone fractures caused by bone metastasis of malignancies. The long-standing disease state of ONJ deteriorates the quality of life of affected patients. Early detection and prevention of the disease are key to alleviating pain and discomfort. To date, several imaging modalities have been introduced to depict the lesions. Imaging modalities, radiography, CT, MRI and nuclear medicine provide important information for managing this challenging disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE No consensus has been reached regarding the best treatment option for early-stage lesions in medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the long-time outcomes of conservative non-surgical management in stage I patients with underlying malignant disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS We designed and implemented a retrospective cohort study and enrolled, between 2008 and 2018, a sample of patients with the indication for non-surgical conservative treatment stage I lesions. The primary outcome variable was treatment success defined as mucosal integrity without signs of infection. Secondary outcomes were: (i) worsening stage, (ii) necessity for surgical intervention over time, and (iii) discontinuation of antiresorptive therapy. RESULTS The sample included 75 patients with 92 lesions. Eight lesions showed full mucosal coverage, whereas 84 continued with exposed jaw bone (91.3%). Of the treatment-resistent 84 lesions, 67 presented a worsening stage shift over time. Indication for surgical intervention was set in 57 lesions. Of all lesions, 28 developed highly advanced necrotic bone destruction. Antiresorptive medication was paused in all evaluated patients after the first diagnosis of MRONJ. CONCLUSION Conservative non-surgical therapy in MRONJ stage I leads to a healing in rare cases. Conservative management might be a good option to preserve symptoms in patients either unwilling to undergo surgery or in those whose reduced general condition does not allow surgery. Early and consequent surgical advances should be performed throughout all stages of the disease to prevent the possibility of silent disease progression with the risk of large-scale bone loss.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pathogenesis of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) is not fully explained. An antiangiogenic effect of bisphosphonates (BPs) or an altered bone quality have been advocated. The aims of the present study were to analyze alveolar mandibular vascularization and bone quality in rats with BRONJ. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into two groups: zoledronic acid (ZA), n = 27, and control (CTRL) n = 11. The ZA group received a weekly IV injection of ZA (100 μg/kg) during 10 weeks. The CTRL group received saline. After 6 weeks, extraction of the right mandibular molars was performed. Rats were sacrificed after 14 weeks. Microtomography characterized bone lesions and vascularization after injection of a radio-opaque material. Raman microspectroscopy evaluated bone mineralization. RESULTS Fifty-five percent of ZA rats presented bone exposure and signs of BRONJ. None sign was found at the left hemimandible in the ZA group and in the CTRL group. Vascular density appeared significantly increased in the right hemimandibles of the CTRL group compared to the left hemimandibles. Vascularization was reduced in the ZA group. A significantly increased of the mineral-to-amide ratio was found in the alveolar bone of ZA rats by Raman microspectroscopy. CONCLUSIONS In a rat model of BRONJ, microtomography evidenced osteonecrosis in BRONJ. Raman spectroscopy showed an increased mineralization. Vascularization after tooth extraction was impaired by ZA. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Prolonged BP administration caused an increase in the mineralization and a quantitative reduction of the vascularization in the alveolar bone; both factors might be involved concomitantly in the BRONJ pathophysiology.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Tooth extraction in patients receiving bisphosphonates is thought to be a risk factor for osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ); however, ONJ did not develop, even when tooth extraction was performed with continued oral bisphosphonate therapy. A drug holiday from bisphosphonates before tooth extraction may not be necessary. INTRODUCTION It is controversial whether bisphosphonate withdrawal is necessary prior to invasive procedures such as tooth extraction in order to prevent bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). This study aimed to evaluate the clinical safety of continuing oral bisphosphonate therapy in patients undergoing tooth extraction. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 132 patients (20 men, 112 women) who were receiving oral bisphosphonates for the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis and required tooth extraction. All patients were managed using an identical protocol, which included preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis and did not necessarily require complete wound closure. The patients were classified into groups according to the duration of bisphosphonate administration: < 2 years (n = 51), 2-5 years (n = 41), 5-10 years (n = 28), and > 10 years (n = 12). The groups were compared regarding the time taken for the extraction socket to heal, and the occurrence of BRONJ. Follow-up duration was at least 3 months. RESULTS A total of 274 teeth were removed. Long-term oral bisphosphonate therapy for > 5 years significantly delayed the healing of the extraction socket in comparison with administration for < 5 years; however, BRONJ did not develop in any group. There was no prolongation of wound healing due to systemic risk factors such as glucocorticoid administration and diabetes mellitus. There were no adverse skeletal events such as bone fracture. CONCLUSIONS Patients who underwent tooth extraction with continued oral bisphosphonate therapy showed delayed healing of the extraction socket as the cumulative administration period prolonged, but BRONJ did not develop.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in Slovak population and compare the literature findings, whether the prevalence of MRONJ is underestimated. BACKGROUND Antiresorptive drugs significantly increase quality of life, although during therapy, or in post-treatment period, osteonecrosis of the jaws might occur as a severe adverse effect. Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a severe problem that has been observed in the past few years. METHODS This multi-centric study evaluates the prevalence in Slovak population, assesses the values from 4 largest centres of maxillofacial surgery in Slovakia (1166 patients with MRONJ) and provides the comparison of literature review. RESULTS Between 2010-2015, there was increasing number of newly diagnosed patients with MRONJ (1166 overall MRONJ patients) annually, except 2012 (mean growth of 123.88 %). This finding was supported by a statistical analysis of the rising tendency of prevalence in literature, where there was a significant difference in prevalence of non-oncologic patients before and after 2010 t(15) = 2.725, p = 0.016. The 6-year prevalence was 1.34 % in population with antiresorptive drugs intake, for osteoporosis 0.47 %, for breast cancer 4.10 %, prostate cancer 3.99 % and multiple myeloma 21.26 %. CONCLUSION This study considers that there is a significant rising tendency of MRONJ in non-oncological patients, what could be caused by underestimation of the risk for development MRONJ in these patients. There should be a better cooperation and information among dentists and doctors indicating the antiresorptive treatment and strong emphasis on primary prevention before the initial treatment even in non-oncological patients (Tab. 5, Fig. 7, Ref. 69).

Abstract
Introduction: The proper therapeutic plan for medication-related osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) is still lacking long-term data up to today. They were several high-technological appliances proposed for the different intervention steps, in addition to tissue repair promoters. The reason for proposing an integrated technique is justified, beyond better compliance of the patients associated to the pain and inflammation reduction and bleeding control, there is also achieving better hard and soft tissues healing. Methods: Patients diagnosed with bisphosphonates-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) at the Odontostomatology and Maxillo-Facial Surgery Unit of the Hospital of Piacenza undergone surgical intervention. The intervention was performed by using different devices: Piezosurgery for removing the necrotic bone tissue and for obtaining the bone specimen essential for histological analysis; Er:YAG laser (2940 nm) to vaporize necrotic hard tissue until reaching the bleeding bone; platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate hard and soft tissue healing; and finally diode laser (808 nm) to perform a biostimulation of the surgical site. Results: All treated patients demonstrated a good postoperative comfort even without using painkillers, no bleeding, and a fast healing process. Most of the patients (92.85%) reached complete healing with a minimum follow up at 6 months. Histological exams demonstrated a good quality without artifacts. Conclusion: Sequential utilization of different high-technologies devices during all the steps of MRONJ treatment allows to perform a faster and less invasive surgery with a more comfortable postoperative healing process and it may represent a new and original approach for treating this severe adverse event.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaws is an emerging pathological condition characterized by un-exposure or exposure of the necrotic bone, independently from the etiology. This term is usually referred to medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws due to severe adverse reaction to certain medicines, as bisphosphonates, used for the treatment of cancer and osteoporosis. The management of patients with Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (BRONJ) remains challenging because surgical and medical interventions may not eradicate this pathology. The goal of treatment of patients at risk of developing BRONJ or of those who have active disease is the preservation of quality of life by controlling pain, managing infection, and preventing the development of new areas of necrosis. The treatment of osteonecrosis consists in the surgical removal of necrotic bone followed by antibiotic therapy and application of sterile greasy gauze until the wound closure. The classical medical treatment has been compared with the innovative one consisting in the application of sterile greasy gauze soaked with bovine lactoferrin (bLf) after surgery. Here, for the first time, bLf efficacy on wound repair in subjects suffering from BRONJ with the progressive destruction of bone in the mandible or maxilla has been demonstrated. The positive results consist in a significant shorter time of wound closure (1 or 2 weeks) compared to that observed with classical surgical treatment (2-3 months). These promising results are an interesting tool for the innovative treatment of this pathology and for increasing the quality of life of these patients.

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

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to elucidate the role of osteoblasts in bisphosphonates-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). The specific objective was to evaluate the effect on osteoblasts of two nitrogen-containing BPs (zoledronate and alendronate) and one non-nitrogen-containing BP (clodronate) by analyzing modulations in their expression of genes essential for osteoblast physiology. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to study the effects of zoledronate, alendronate, and clodronate at doses of 10-5, 10-7, or 10-9 M on the expression of Runx-2, OSX, ALP, OSC, OPG, RANKL, Col-I, BMP-2, BMP-7, TGF-β1, VEGF, TGF-βR1, TGF-βR2, and TGF-βR3 by primary human osteoblasts (HOBs) and MG-63 osteosarcoma cells. Expression of these markers was found to be dose-dependent, with no substantive differences between these cell lines. In general, results demonstrated a significant increase in TFG-β1, TGF-βR1, TGF-βR2, TGF-βR3, and VEGF expressions and a significant reduction in RUNX-2, Col-1, OSX, OSC, BMP-2, BMP-7, ALP, and RANKL expressions, while OPG expression varied according to the dose and cell line. The results of this in vitro study of HOBS and MG-63 cell lines indicate that low BP doses can significantly affect the expression of genes essential for osteoblast growth and differentiation and of genes involved in regulating osteoblast-osteoclast interaction, possibly by increasing TGF-β1 production. These findings suggest that osteoblasts may play an important role in BRONJ development, without ruling out other factors.
