Article Synopsis
- Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a serious condition that can occur in patients receiving bone-modifying agents for cancer or osteoporosis and may show up as skin symptoms around the jaw area.
- A study reviewing records of 515 patients with MRONJ found that 16.5% had extraoral symptoms, with a notable correlation to damage in the mandible.
- The findings emphasize the importance of primary care physicians recognizing MRONJ, even when patients present with symptoms outside the mouth, to ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment.
