ROSEMONT, Ill., Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) has issued updated guidance for treating a rare but potentially serious jawbone condition that can impact patients taking antiresorptive medications to treat certain cancer types.

Key Points: 
  • To help patients and healthcare providers navigate this clinical concern, oral and maxillofacial surgery experts analyzed literature and revised guidance to reflect current best practices.
  • Among strategies for reducing the risk of MRONJ: maintaining good oral hygiene, performing high-risk surgical procedures prior to initiating drug therapies, quitting smoking and optimizing diabetes care.
  • Surgical management of MRONJ is increasingly considered a viable method of treatment for all stages of the disease, according to the 2022 guidance.
  • A departure from the three previous position papers, the 2022 recommendations recognize the value of surgical intervention regardless of MRONJ disease stage.
