Conditions

Bisphosphonate-Associated Osteonecrosis of the Jaw, Medication-related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw

Keywords

Bisphosphonate, Jaw, Osteonecrosis, Antiresorptive drugs, Denosumab

Brief summary

Approximately 500 patients will be included in this patient registry. Data collection includes demographics, clinical data of underlying disease and use of bisphosphonates, denosumab and antiangiogenic drugs , degree and extension of osteonecrosis, osteonecrosis-specific treatment, outcomes and complications within 1 year after treatment.

Detailed description

Approximately 500 patients diagnosed with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw will be enrolled in the study. Patients will undergo standard (routine) of care treatment, either conservative or surgical or both, and followed up during one year after the initiation of the treatment. Treatment outcome (development of the condition), pain and complications will be collected and documented over the duration of the registry.

Interventions

PROCEDUREConservative treatment

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Treatment outcome6 months / 1 yearCompared to the baseline status of the patient's condition, the outcome will be evaluated as: * Worsening of the osteonecrosis (e.g. size of the lesion increased) * No change of the osteonecrosis * Reduction of the osteonecrosis (e.g. size of the lesion decrease) * Complete mucosa healing

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain perception6 months / 1 yearNumeric Rating Scale
Staging of osteonecrosis6 months / 1 yearStaging of osteonecrosis according to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons
Site and size of the lesion6 months / 1 yearSite (single vs. multiple) and size of the lesion according to Weitzman et al.
