Summary

Objective. Relevance of the problem and the aim: A variety of surgical treatment modalities are analyzed to treat medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, using different adjuvant therapies (fluorescence-guided surgery, autologous platelet concentrates) and thus to improve bone and mucosa healing in the postoperative period and reduce the risk of recurrence of osteonecrosis. The purpose of the present systematic review is to compare the effectiveness of different surgical treatments for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (with applications of autologous platelet concentrates, fluorescence guidance, or without adjuvant measures).

Materials and methods. The protocol for the systematic review was prepared according to the PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines for systematic reviews. Electronic databases used: PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library. The review includes articles investigating surgical treatment methods for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Results. Twelve scientific articles were included in the review. The studies evaluated the efficacy of autologous platelet concentrates, fluorescence-guided surgery, or standard surgical treatment techniques without adjuvant therapies. The efficiency of curettage, sequestrectomy, and the use of autologous platelet concentrates have been found to range from 80% to 96.7%. The efficiency of fluorescence-guided surgery varied from 83.3% to 94.4%. The highest efficiency range of treatment results was determined by evaluating the surgical treatment without adjuvant therapies, which can reach from 22.22% to 93.2%.

Conclusions. The best and most stable results in the surgical treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw are achieved by the application of autologous platelet concentrates after surgical removal of necrotic bone or fluorescence-guided surgery.
