Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw, a Hidden Enemy. An Integrative Review. (2021). Universitas Odontologica, 40. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.uo40.mroj

Abstract

Background: Drug-induced osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) ​​is a serious complication associated with prolonged use of antiresorptive (e.g., bisphosphonates and denosumab) and antiangiogenic drugs (e.g., bevacizumab and sunitinib) in patients with osteoporosis or cancer. With this situation, a progressive infection of the maxillary or mandibular bone and later an avascular necrosis of the bone occurs. The incidence of ONJ is higher in people with cancer who are frequently received high doses of antiresorptive drugs intravenously. Risk factors associated with antiresorptive or antiangiogenic therapy have been identified to possibly contributing to the onset of ONJ. Purpose: To review and analyze the current available therapeutic options to treat at-risk patients or who already have ONJ. Methods: In this integrative review of the literature, publications were searched in the ScienceDirect, PubMed, SciELO, and ResearchGate databases between 2003 and 2020. The search terms were “bisphosphonate-associated maxillary osteonecrosis,” “maxillary osteonecrosis associated with medication,” and “maxillary osteonecrosis.” Results: 64 articles were selected in which extractions are identified as the main risk factor for developing ONJ (52 % to 61 %). A second factor identified was the spontaneous appearance of bone necrosis lesions. Conclusions: It is important to implement preventive measures in medical and dental care before, during, and after antiresorptive and antiangiogenic treatments to minimize the risks of ONJ in patients.
