Abstract

Abstract

Introduction: In cancer patients, the use of Bone Modifying Agents (BMA) is part of the treatment protocol for osteolytic disease related to breast cancer, multiple myeloma, among others. Among the medications that can cause the development of MRONJ, bisphosphonates (BFs) and denosumab (DMAB) stand out. Such drugs may be related to the development of MRONJ, which can negatively affect the quality of life of cancer patients. Objective: To identify, through an integrative review, preventive and therapeutic approaches for MRONJ. Methodology: A bibliographic search was carried out in the electronic database PubMed, between July and October 2023, using descriptors defined according to the theme. The articles were selected according to previously established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: 354 articles were found in the databases. After analyzing the titles and abstracts, 107 articles were pre-selected and read in full. Then, 16 articles were included in the present review. Conclusion: Oral adjustment prior to starting BMA should always be encouraged. Given the need to perform invasive procedures in patients undergoing BMA, alternatives such as antibiotic therapy and pentoxifylline and tocopherol (PENTO) should be considered to try to minimize the chance of their occurrence. In cases of MRONJ development, treatments will depend on its staging and the literature provides alternatives such as antibiotic therapy, surgery, PENTO, Er,Cr:YSGG Laser, Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LLLT), Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) , Platelet and Leukocyte Rich Fibrin (L-PRF), Fibrin Rich Plasma (PRF) and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).

Keywords: Oncology; Osteonecrosis; Quality of life.
