Abstract
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) can be triggered by several antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications, including bisphosphonates (BRONJ), denosumab (DRONJ), and other agents used to treat osteoporosis and metastatic bone cancer. Prosthodontists and surgeons continue to face new challenges because of this condition. Despite the current evidence showing that extensive surgical intervention and laser surgery have the highest healing rates, surgical reconstruction is not always possible for large jaw defects requiring prosthetic reconstruction. Moreover, surgical treatment may not be an option in some patients because of other medical conditions. In these patients, MRONJ may develop into a chronic disease with limited resolution and they may seek prosthetic rehabilitation for aesthetic and functional reasons. Therefore, prosthetic intervention may be necessary for some patients with MRONJ even in the absence of a surgical defect. Denture trauma has been reported to be a risk factor for MRONJ, and few reports have discussed the prosthodontic considerations needed for patients with this condition. The aim of this review is to highlight the prosthodontic considerations that would decrease the risk of triggering MRONJ in susceptible patients.
期刊介绍:
The Japanese Dental Science Review is published by the Japanese Association for Dental Science aiming to introduce the modern aspects of the dental basic and clinical sciences in Japan, and to share and discuss the update information with foreign researchers and dentists for further development of dentistry. In principle, papers are written and submitted on the invitation of one of the Editors, although the Editors would be glad to receive suggestions. Proposals for review articles should be sent by the authors to one of the Editors by e-mail. All submitted papers are subject to the peer- refereeing process.
