Objectives: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a severe complication of bisphosphonate therapy, with unclear mechanisms. This study investigates the regulatory impact of zoledronic acid (ZOL) on osteoclasts and microRNA (miRNA) expression.
Materials And Methods: Raw264.

Background: Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) presents significant clinical challenges with uncertain treatment outcomes. Teriparatide, a fragment of human parathyroid hormone, shows potential in prevention strategies for BRONJ.
Objective: This study investigates the impact of a single local dose of teriparatide on BRONJ prevention in an animal model.

Background: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the first-line treatment to stop bone resorption in diseases, including osteoporosis, Paget's disease, multiple myeloma and bone metastases of cancer. However, BPs-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), characterized by local inflammation and jawbone necrosis, is a severe intractable complication. The cumulative inflammatory burden often accompanies impaired lymphatic drainage, but its specific impact on BRONJ and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) refers to the condition where the maxillary or mandibular bone becomes exposed and necrotic as a result of bisphosphonate therapy. The number of patients on bisphosphonates is increasing and so are the MRONJ cases. Since the initial data were published in the early 2000s, research into MRONJ has expanded significantly to enhance the understanding of this emerging condition.
