To assess whether the use of allogeneic platelet-derived growth factors could serve as a feasible, effective and safe biological therapy for the treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Patients with multiple myeloma and MRONJ were included and treated with allogeneic platelet-rich plasma, continued for between 6 and 18 weeks (mean: 9). We observed a treatment success rate of 87.5% (p < 0.05). Assessing the association between healing and treatment duration, we observed a statistically significant relationship (χ = 8.00; p = 0.018; Cramer's V = 1), confirming that healing was very closely related to the duration of the treatment. Allogeneic platelet-rich plasma could be a recommended treatment for MRONJ. Future research with a large sample to validate our findings is required.
