ItemNo Preview AvailableOsteoporosis and Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the JawsCelentano, A ; Calabria, E ; Balasubramaniam, R ; Yeoh, S-C ; Yap, T ; Prabhu, R (Springer, 2023)Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by decreased bone strength and an increased susceptibility to fractures. Anti-resorptive therapies are extremely effective in preventing skeletal adverse events in osteoporotic patients. However, these drugs have been also recognized as a principal risk factor for the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). MRONJ consists of non-healing and necrosis of the bone associated with symptoms and infection. Although MRONJ management continues to be challenging for clinicians, data suggests a high rate of success for surgical treatments.
