Q

how do bisphosphonates affect bone

A

they are non metabolised analogues of pyrophosphate that are capable of localizing to bone and inhibiting osteoclastic function

they bind to exposed bone mineral around resorbing osteoclasts

A
23
Q

what are the operative tx for MRONJ

A
24
Q

what does this show

A

exposed necrotic bone

25
Q

is this healthy or unhealthy

A

Bleeding suggests healthy bone as when dead bone there is no bleeding

26
Q

what is denosumab

A

human monoclonal antibody that inhibits osteoclast fucntion but does not bind to bone

27
Q

what fucntion is inhibited by denosumab

A

osteoclast function

28
Q

how does denosumab inhibit osteoclast fcuntiom

A

by inhibiting RANKL

29
Q

what is the clinical relevance of NSAIDs

A

long term NSAIDs can impact on bone healing so may be avoided following bone augmentation surgery for dental implants if possible

30
Q

what is the clinical relevance of steroids

A

many pt take high dose steroids for conddiitions such as COPD or autoimmune disease and as a consequence develop MRONJ
