Tracking Jaw Bone Changes in Medication-Related Bone Disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study follows patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (a bone condition often caused by certain cancer or osteoporosis medicines) using imaging scans to understand how the bone changes over time. The goal is to better predict outcomes and improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at what changes happen in the jawbone in people with osteonecrosis of the jaw (a damaged jawbone area), whether or not they take certain cancer/bone medicines. It may help doctors better understand the condition and how it behaves over time.
This study compares two ways to treat a jaw bone problem caused by medications (called MRONJ) when it happens around a dental implant. One option is to keep the implant and treat the bone, the other is to remove the implant. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing.
This study looks at how a specific jaw problem (osteonecrosis) may happen in people taking bone-strengthening medications. It aims to better understand and manage this side effect.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for treating medication-related jaw bone problems (MRONJ): one using a special vibrating tool (piezoelectric) and the other using conventional tools. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing and fewer complications.
This trial tests whether putting a special blood concentrate from your own platelets into the tooth socket after an extraction helps the bone heal better and prevent a serious jaw condition (MRONJ) in people at high risk due to certain medications like bisphosphonates or denosumab.
This trial tests whether using a special blood product (leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin, or L-PRF) during surgery for a jawbone condition called MRONJ helps improve healing. Patients who need surgery under general anesthesia for advanced MRONJ may be able to join.
