Although events such as tooth extraction and oral surgery were considered for a while the sole triggering factor for Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), it is still unclear if trigger events may be precipitating factors that accelerate the onset of the disease that would have possibly occurred anyway. Therefore, this research aimed to retrospectively analyze MRONJ cases diagnosed in our tertiary referral hospital during the last 14 years, focusing on the onset of the disease, potential trigger events, and countermeasures to update the knowledge on their pathogenesis. An audit of patients diagnosed with MRONJ attending our department from 2008 to 2021 was performed. χ2 test and Fisher exact test were employed to assess the relationship between the medications used and trigger events; χ2 test was also used to assess any relationship between MRONJ localization and drug, drug class, trigger, or trigger type. Seventy-six patients’ records were identified. Fifty-two records were selected for analysis. Trigger events for the onset of the disease were found in 35 cases (67.3%). χ2 test showed a correlation between the drug used and trigger event occurrence (P = 0.045) confirmed by Fisher exact test (P = 0.34). Visual histogram analysis showed positive correlation when Alendronate (12 cases, 85.7%), Zoledronate (12 cases, 75%), and Risedronate (2 cases, 100%) were administered. Subgroup analysis per underlying disease, showed a significant correlation between the drug used and trigger event occurrence in the osteoporosis group (χ2 test, P = 0.021; Fisher exact test, P = 0.009).

Abstract

Although events such as tooth extraction and oral surgery were considered for a while the sole triggering factor for Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), it is still unclear if trigger events may be precipitating factors that accelerate the onset of the disease that would have possibly occurred anyway. Therefore, this research aimed to retrospectively analyze MRONJ cases diagnosed in our tertiary referral hospital during the last 14 years, focusing on the onset of the disease, potential trigger events, and countermeasures to update the knowledge on their pathogenesis. An audit of patients diagnosed with MRONJ attending our department from 2008 to 2021 was performed. χ2 test and Fisher exact test were employed to assess the relationship between the medications used and trigger events; χ2 test was also used to assess any relationship between MRONJ localization and drug, drug class, trigger, or trigger type. Seventy-six patients’ records were identified. Fifty-two records were selected for analysis. Trigger events for the onset of the disease were found in 35 cases (67.3%). χ2 test showed a correlation between the drug used and trigger event occurrence (P = 0.045) confirmed by Fisher exact test (P = 0.34). Visual histogram analysis showed positive correlation when Alendronate (12 cases, 85.7%), Zoledronate (12 cases, 75%), and Risedronate (2 cases, 100%) were administered. Subgroup analysis per underlying disease, showed a significant correlation between the drug used and trigger event occurrence in the osteoporosis group (χ2 test, P = 0.021; Fisher exact test, P = 0.009).
