Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this present study was to evaluate the efficiency of the growth factors delivered by concentrated growth factor (CGF) on the healing process of osteoporotic patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). METHODS: This randomized controlled study was composed of osteoporotic female patients who were treated with oral bisphosphonates (BPs) and diagnosed with MRONJ. For the CGF group, each patient was treated with a local application of CGF at the surgical site after removing the necrotic bone, while the surgical area was primarily closed as traditional surgical therapy for the control group. The patients underwent clinical examinations for 6 months postoperatively to check the presence of infection and dehiscence. RESULTS:Complete healing was achieved in 19 patients of 28 patients (mean age: CGF group, 73.57 ± 5.1; control group, 73.64 ± 5.49) diagnosed with MRONJ. There was no significant difference in post-op healing data between groups during healing periods (p > 0.05). In the CGF group (n = 14) in three cases, bone exposure without infection was detected, and one of them showed a recurrent infection. In the control group (n = 14) in six cases, bone exposure without infection was detected, and three of them also showed recurrent infection. CONCLUSION: Although our results were not statistically significant, our findings suggest that the local application of CGF appears to be an effective approach to the surgical treatment of MRONJ in osteoporosis patients by improving tissue regeneration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A specific treatment protocol to manage MRONJ is still controversial. This study justifies that CGF can be used in combination with surgical treatment.
