5. • One or more necrotic bone lesions in the maxillofacial region
• That are exposed or can be probed through an intraoral or
extraoral fistula
• And persist for at least 8 weeks without response to
appropriate therapy
• Without history of radiation therapy or metastatic disease to
the jaws.
• Mostly cases after a dental procedure

7. • At risk: any patient treated with antiresorptives
• Stage 0: non-specific symptoms (sinus or tooth pain) or
clinical/radiographic findings - no necrotic bone
• Stage 1: Exposed and necrotic bone, or fistulae that probe to bone –
asymptomatic. No evidence of adjacent/regional inflammation/infection
• Stage 2: Exposed and necrotic bone, or fistulae that probe to bone with
infection, evident by pain and adjacent
or regional soft-tissue inflammatory swelling

8. • Stage 3: in addition at least one of the following: (1)
pathologic fracture, (2) extra-oral fistula, (3) oral-
antral fistula, or (4) radiographic evidence of
osteolysis extending to the inferior border of the
mandible or floor of the maxillary sinus

9. X-rays: (OPG)
• Early signs: thickening of the lamina dura, widening of the
periodontal ligament space, increased trabecular density of the
alveolar bone, or even sequestration
• Later stages: high bone density, dense woven bone, thickening of
the periosteum, opacities, radiolucencies, and osteolysis and even
pathologic fracture of the mandible in stage 3 of ONJ
CT and MRI: more sensitive.

10. • Inhibition of bone resorption and turnover, ↓ repair of microdamage
• Local inflammation/bacterial infection (periodontal/periapical disease)
• Angiogenesis inhibition (BPs only, glucocorticoids))
• Immune system dysfunction (production of proinflammatory cytokines)
• Soft-tissue toxicity (BPs only, toxic to epithelium)
• Genetic predisposition
Pathogenesis

11. • Higher remodeling rate in the jaws
• Repetitive microtraumas from chewing
• Jaw osteoclasts may absorb higher amounts of BPs than long
bone osteoclasts

15. ONJ incidence
• Depending on the underlying condition
– Osteoporosis: 0,01-0,06%
– Cancer treatment induced bone loss (CTIBL): 0,1-1,8%
– Bone metastases: 1-8%

16. Predominance in cancer patients
• Higher and more frequent (and iv) dosing of antiresorptives (12-15x
Zol for bone metastases)
• Concurrent therapies (glucocorticoids, chemotherapy, antiangiogenic
agents, immunomodulators)
• Decreased oral and general health in cancer patients

17. Risk factors
• Underlying disease
– dose/frequency of administration
– other medications
– oral & general health status
• Treatment duration
• Tooth extraction
• Pre- or coexisting periodontal/periapical inflammation/infection
• Concomitant therapies (chemo, glucocorticoids, antiangiogenics)
• Smoking
• Diabetes
• Obesity

18. Antiresorptive agents associated with ONJ
• Bisphosphonates (BPs)
• Denosumab (Dmab)
• Raloxifene: scarce incidents
• Bazedoxifene, lasofoxifene: 0
• Romosozumab: 2 incidents

Prof. Dr. M.C. Zillikens
19. ONJ risk – differences among BPs
• i.v. BPs > oral BPs
– disease / dose / frequency
• Cancer: mostly Zol > PAM
• Breast Ca: only reported with Zol (not with PAM, RIS, ΙΒΝ,
CLO)
• Osteoporosis: mostly ALN (>> RIS, IBN, PAM) 77%

20. ONJ risk – BPs vs Dmab
• In most studies & meta-analyses: Dmab > BPs
• In cancer patients transition from Zol to Dmab ⇢ ↑ risk
• Dmab
– earlier manifestation
– faster resolution

25. Patients at low risk of ONJ
Antiresorptive treatment management:
Osteoporotic patients:
Do not discontinue bisphosphonates
Do not discontinue denosumab – perform procedure preferably 5-6
months
following the last injection
Lower doses of antiresorptives? – no supporting evidence
Cancer patients:
Do not discontinue bisphosphonates
Do not discontinue denosumab

Patients at high risk of ONJ
Antiresorptive treatment management:
Osteoporotic patients:
Bisphosphonates could be discontinued (at least 1 week before and until surgical site healing –
usually 2-4 weeks after the procedure)
Do not discontinue denosumab – perform procedure preferably 5-6 months following the last
injection – perform next denosumab injection 4-6 weeks after the procedure but not > 4 weeks
later than it should be done
Consider replacing antiresorptives with teriparatide
No data on romosozumab
Cancer patients:
Personalized decision in agreement with the treating oncologist,
weighing the risk of ONJ against the risks of SREs
Bisphosphonates could be discontinued
Short-term denosumab discontinuation e.g. 3 weeks before and 4-6 weeks
after dental procedure has been advised – no clear benefit

29. Conservative management: mainly in earlier ONJ stages
• At-risk patients: no need for intervention. Patients must be
informed and be able to early identify signs and symptoms
• Stage 0: Since symptoms are not specific, the objective is to
symptomatically control pain and infections, and closely
monitoring for signs of progression
• Stage 1: Management with chlorhexidine mouthwash and
regular follow-up. No antibiotic nor surgical intervention
• Stage 2: Due to necrosis and associated infection,
antimicrobial mouthwash and oral antibiotics

30. Surgical management: mostly in later ONJ stages
• Stage 2: Besides the antibiotic regimen, debridement is often
needed
• Stage 3: Surgical management is indicated (and antibiotics)
varying from limited debridement to complete resection with
possible immediate reconstruction

32. Antiresorptives when ONJ occurs
• Consider discontinuing antiresorptives in stage 2 and 3 until complete
soft-tissue closure after carefully weighing risk of ongoing ONJ with
risk of fractures or SREs
• Some experts consider continuing denosumab
• Healing time in 12 patients with ONJ under Dmab of 4.5 months
(interquartile range [IQR], 2–14), which was shorter than that in
patients with BP-related ONJ (6 months; IQR, 5–33)
• Evidence is lacking!

33. Teriparatide
• Helpful in ONJ management in several case reports
• RCT: 8 weeks treatment with TPTD vs pcb ⇢ more lesions healed and
reduced bone defects at 52 weeks
• Cancer patients?
– theoretically contraindicated in cancer patients but a brief
exposure (e.g., of 8 weeks) should not activate quiescent
malignant cells
• Concerns: limited duration of teriparatide treatment;
temporary decrease of hip BMD; uncertain effect
on the rebound phenomenon after stopping Dmab

34. Cochrane review 2022
• Five RCTs examined different interventions to prevent ONJ occurrence
• One open-label RCT: some evidence that dental examinations at 3-
month intervals and preventive treatments may be more effective than
standard care for reducing MRONJ incidence of MRONJ in with i.v. BPs
for advanced cancer (evidence very low)
• Eight RCTs examined different interventions for the treatment of
established MRONJ; that is, the effect on MRONJ cure rates.
• Available evidence insufficient to either claim or refute a benefit, in
addition to standard care, of any of the interventions for treatment of
MRONJ (including 2 RCTs with TPT with 33 and 12 participants)

35. Take home
• Risk for ONJ largely depends on the underlying bone disease and the
relevant antiresorptive regimen applied
• Risk is much higher in patients with advanced malignancies because
of the higher doses and more frequent administration of
antiresorptives and possibly compromised general health and co-
administration of other medications that predispose to ONJ
• Risk appears higher with denosumab, possible partly because of pre-
treatment with BP
• Physicians and dentists should keep in mind that the benefits of
antiresorptive therapy far outweigh the risk for ONJ development
• Uncertain if TPT may fasten healing
