(3) secure and sufficiently vascularized plastic coverage (optionally with the mylohyoid muscle or the Bichat’s fat pad)
(4) systemic intravenous antibiotic treatment to minimize the peri- and postoperative infection and the related decrease of the tissue’s pH-value
(5) change of diet type in a level scheme: oral liquid/ strained food or temporary bypassing of the oral passage of food by using gastric feeding tubes. Group 2: Non-surgical treatment of medication-
(2) regular cleaning of the necrotic area with chlorhexidine-gluconate (0,2 %) containing mouth rinsing solution and topical gel to prevent bacterial colonization on the necrotic area

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Mucosal healing twelve weeks after beginning of intervention: Mucosal healing is evaluated clinically (visually and probing with special pariodontal probe). The assessment is based on a dichotomous nominal gradation (yes / no).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
(1) the mucosal integrity after treatment with/ without infection signs (reddening, swelling, pus) (2) participant health related qulity of life, measured by EORTC QLQ-C30 and supplemented by disease-specific modules for Bone metastases as well as OHIP-G 14 questionnaire for oral health related quality of life at the time of therapy decision and in the course. (3) pain assessment by visual analogue scale (4) period till the resumption of oncological and/ or osteological antiresorptive therapy (5) period till prosthetic rehabilitation (6) radiologic signs for medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw All secondary endpoints (1-5) are aquired to the following measuring points: 10-14 days (T1), 30 days (T2), 8 weeks (T3), 3 months (T4), 6 months (T5), 1 year (T6) after the beginning of the intervention (surgical treatment)/ after therapy decision (non-surgical treatment).
