Abstract
The clinician should attempt to determine the risk factors for a disease before treatment in order to prevent disease development. Even though numerous clinical case series have reported Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) after intravenous or oral route administration of bisphosphonates (BPs), evidence-based research regarding risk factors is sparse. Currently, the route of administration, dose and duration of intake, nitrogen-containing BPs, and dental infection/dental invasive procedures can be suggested as risk factors for MRONJ. Recently, a human monoclonal antibody inhibiting osteoclasts, denosumab, has been introduced as an antiresorptive drug. The reported risk of denosumabrelated osteonecrosis of the jaw (DRONJ) seems similar or slightly higher compared with intravenous intake of nitrogen- containing BPs. Dental extractions and oncological dosing could be related to an increased risk of DRONJ. There are also increasing reports of osteonecrosis of the jaw related with antiangiogenic chemotherapeutics.
