Abstract:ObjectivesBisphosphonate 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 MethodsNinety-three patients diagnosed with BRONJ in Pusan National … Show more
“…They are associated with bioavailability of the drug in the bone matrix. In patients with cancer receiving high doses of intravenous zoledronate or denosumab, the risk of MRONJ increases with higher doses and longer treatment duration, although there is evidence that even short‐term administration of BP may cause progression to severe disease …”
Background
We investigated the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO), low‐intensity laser (LIL), and platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) in the management of medication‐related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ).
Methods
A literature search was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses statement. Two examiners independently assessed eligibility and risk of bias and extracted data.
Results
There was improvement in 75.6% of the 41 patients submitted to HBO, with positive effects on pain relief and decreased size and number of lesions at a faster rate, with better effects when the drug was discontinued. For LIL, 158 (64.2%) of the 246 patients/sites improved the symptoms and 98 (39.8%) healed completely. Fourteen (17.3%) of the 81 patients treated with PRP significantly improved the symptoms and 65 (80.2%) completely healed.
Conclusions
These therapies served as safe and effective adjuvant modalities for MRONJ treatment. The lack of randomized clinical trials evidences the need for more high‐quality investigations on the subject.

“…Chronic kidney diseases have been linked to ON, particularly of the jaw, with aging and low renal function [ 196 ] in addition to children with chronic renal failure [ 197 ]. Different mechanisms have been proposed linking chronic kidney diseases to ON, including using bisphosphonate and immunosuppressants after renal transplantation [ 198 ].…”

Bone marrow (BM) is a reliable source of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which have been successfully used for treating osteonecrosis. Considering the functional advantages of BM-MSCs as bone and cartilage reparatory cells and supporting angiogenesis, several donor-related factors are also essential to consider when autologous BM-MSCs are used for such regenerative therapies. Aging is one of several factors contributing to the donor-related variability and found to be associated with a reduction of BM-MSC numbers. However, even within the same age group, other factors affecting MSC quantity and function remain incompletely understood. For patients with osteonecrosis, several underlying factors have been linked to the decrease of the proliferation of BM-MSCs as well as the impairment of their differentiation, migration, angiogenesis-support and immunoregulatory functions. This review discusses the quality and quantity of BM-MSCs in relation to the etiological conditions of osteonecrosis such as sickle cell disease, Gaucher disease, alcohol, corticosteroids, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, diabetes, chronic renal disease and chemotherapy. A clear understanding of the regenerative potential of BM-MSCs is essential to optimize the cellular therapy of osteonecrosis and other bone damage conditions.
