BONE cancerCANCER patientsDENTAL extractionJAWSNEOVASCULARIZATION inhibitorsBackground: Denosumab (DMB) is a bone antiresorptive agent used to treat osteoporosis or metastatic cancer of the bones. However, denosumab-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (DRONJ) has become a common comp...
Bone cancer is a type of cancer in which mutation of cells starts to grow out of control and may form into a lump on any part of the bones. There are two types of bone cancer which are primary and secondary bone cancer. Cases of primary bone cancer are just 0.2% of all diagnosed ...
There is evidence of improvement in quality of life using these therapies to reduce bone pain, but limited evidence to support overall improvement in cancer survival rates. Unfortunately, all these therapeutics are associated with increased risk of MRONJ. It is also well established that BP have ...
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), a severe side effect caused by antiresorptive antiangiogenic medication, particularly bisphosphonates (BPs), has become a challenging disease with serious and profound effects on the physical and mental health of patients. Although it occurs with hi...
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is primarily an adverse side effect of denosumab or bisphosphonates (particularly when used at high doses to prevent skeletal-related events [SREs] in patients with cancer and bone metastases) or possibly anti-angiogenic cancer treatment. While the...
The jaw was sent out to the lab for evaluation. The tumor was a squamous cell carcinoma, one of the most common types of cancer in the mouth (in cats and dogs). Fortunately, the lab confirmed that we “got it all.” Since surgery, Mimi has been home, where her owner took exceptiona...
All these factors converge to create a situation in which an iatrogenic jaw fracture is most likely to occur. Soukup said the best way to minimize the risk of fracture is through a combination of factors: removing sufficient alveolar bone, careful elevation, and avoiding the mesiolingual aspect ...
Inhibiting TGFβ signaling decreases bone resorption. We discover a SMAD binding element in the quail Mmp13 promoter not found in duck and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near a RUNX2 binding element that affect expression. Switching the SNPs and SMAD site abolishes TGFβ-sensitivity in the...

Breast cancer often causes bone metastasis, including to the jaws. Few reports in the English-language literature document the coexistence of BONJ and metastasis at same site. Woman, 60, was referred to Orocentro Piracicaba Dental School-UNICAMP with a chief complaint of having a nonhealing ...
