Microbes which resist the activated immune response can persist in the host. They are either controlled below the threshold that results in disease or exceed the threshold and produce disease. Disease outbreak can be due to slow progression of the microbe, weakening of the immune response, or bot...
Extension of MRONJ into the mandible or maxilla can result in large, exposed necrotic regions of bone with associated sensory deficit, pathological fracture, or an oroantral fistula in advanced stages (Fig.2). MRONJ can affect a patient’s quality of life (QoL), including their functional cap...
