Biologic Action of Bisphosphonates

Osteoclastic toxicity

– Apoptosis

– Inhibited release of bone induction proteins

BMP, ILG1, ILG2

– Reduced bone turnover, resorption

– Reduced serum calcium*

– Hypermineralization*

“sclerotic” changes in lamina dura of alveolar bone

* = goal of medicinal use

Page 12: MRONJ

Medical Indications for IV BPs

Bone metastasis, hypercalcemia

– Mediated osteoclastic resorption

Multiple myeloma, breast CA, prostate CA

Paracrine-like effect

– PTH-like peptide osteoclastic resorption

Small cell carcinoma, oropharyngeal cancers

Endocrine-like effect

Medical Indications for Oral BPs Paget’s Disease of bone

– Accelerated bone turnover

Reduced compressive strength, increased vascularity

Bone pain

Elevated AP levels

Osteoporosis

– Effects of estrogen loss:

Decreased bone turnover/renewal

– Adipocyte differentiation > osteoblastic differentiation

– increased fibrofatty marrow

– Progressively porotic bone

– DEXA scan for BMD values

Pharmacokinetics

Oral BP’s

– Absorbed in small intestine

Less if taken with meal

– 1-10% available to bone

Circulating half-life: 0.5-2 hrs

– Rapid uptake into bone matrix

– 30-70% of IV/oral dose accumulates in bone

– Remainder excreted in urine

Repeated doses accumulate in bone

– Removed only by osteoclast-mediated resorption

– “Biologic Catch ”

BRONJ: Time line

Rare reports prior to 2001

2003: Marx reported 36 patients

2004: Ruggiero et al reported 63 pts

(from 2001-2003)

2005: Migliorati reported 5 cases

2005: Estilo et al reported 13 cases

Sept. 2004: Novartis

(manufacturer of Aredia & Zometa)

altered labeling to include cautionary language concerning osteonecrosis of the jaws

2005: FDA issued warning for entire drug class (including oral bisphosphonates)

[email protected]

Page 26: MRONJ

Phossy-Jaw: A Historical Entity

Lorinser, 1845: first reported cases

Industrial laborers working w/ white phosphorus powder

– Matchmaking, fireworks factories

– Missile factories

Clinical presentation

– Non-healing mucosal

– wound following extraction

– Pain

– Fetid odor

– Suppuration

– Necrosis w/ bony sequestra

– Extra-oral fistulae

Miles, Hunter: 20% mortality due to infections

– Pre-antibiotic era

Conservative treatment

– Selective debridement

– Minimal mucosal manipulation

– Topical agents: copper sulfate

[email protected]

Page 27: MRONJ

Similar Clinical Entities

Closely resembles Osteopetrosis – Loss of osteoclastic

function

– Hypermineralization

– Fractures, nonunions, open oral wounds

– Endpoint: bone necrosis, +/- infection

[email protected]

Page 28: MRONJ

NOT to be confused with these other entities:

– Osteoradionecrosis (ORN): avascular bone necrosis 2° radiation

– Osteomyelitis: thrombosis of small blood vessels leading to infection within bone marrow

– Steroid-induced osteonecrosis: more common in long bones

exposed bone very rare

Page 29: MRONJ

Estimated Incidence of BRONJ 2° IV

BPs Limited to retrospective studies with

limited sample sizes

Marx:

– Zometa: exposed bone within 6-12 months

– Aredia: 10-16 months

Estimates of cumulative incidence of

BRONJ range from 0.8% to 12%

– Marx: 5-15%

Including Subclinical osteonecrosis

Incidence will rise:

– Increased recognition

– Increased duration of exposure

– Increased followup

[email protected]

Page 30: MRONJ

Estimated Incidence of BRONJ 2° Oral BPs

>190 million oral BP prescriptions dispensed worldwide – Much lower risk for BRONJ vs IV administration

Marx: – BRONJ development after 3 years of Alendronate usage

Merck study: – incidence with Alendronate usage = 0.7/100,000

person/years of exposure

Estimated incidence of BRONJ w/ weekly administration of alendronate:

0.01% to 0.04%

After extractions, increased to 0.09% to 0.34%

[email protected]

Page 31: MRONJ

low numbers, so…what’s all the hoopla for?

Physicians prescribing these meds – Endocrinologists, Oncologists, GPs, OB-Gyns,etc

– Not well informed of adverse oral effects

Dentists diagnosing and managing the problem – Lack of communication between Medicine and Dentistry

– likelihood of many cases unreported

– We are the “experts”…time to bridge the gap

Effects of oral BPs lagging behind IV BPs – Another few years for BRONJ to reveal itself among the oral BP

population

Page 32: MRONJ

Why Only in the Jaws?

Dixon et al 1997

– Alveolar crest has high remodeling rate

10x tibia

5x mandible at level of IA canal

3.5x mandible at inferior border

Greater uptake of Tc 99m in bone scans

– Occlusal forces

Compression at root apex and furcations

Tension on lamina dura and periodontal ligament

Remodeling of lamina dura in response

Reduced remodeling with BP uptake hypermineralization

– Sclerotic appearance of Lamina dura

– Widening of periodontal ligament space

[email protected]

Page 33: MRONJ

BRONJ Case Definition

AAOMS Position Paper (updated September 2014): – Patients considered to have BRONJ if all 3

characteristics met:

Current or previous treatment with a bisphosphonate

Exposed, necrotic bone in maxillofacial region persisting > 8 weeks

No history of radiation therapy to jaws

[email protected]

Page 34: MRONJ

Risk Factors for Development of BRONJ

Drug-related factors – Potency of BP

Zoledronate > pamidronate > oral BPs

– Duration of therapy

Local factors – Dentoalveolar surgery

Extractions, implants, periapical surgery, periodontal surgery w/ osseous injury

7-fold risk for BRONJ with IV BPs 5 to 21-fold risk in some studies

– Local anatomy lingual tori, mylohyoid ridge, palatal tori Mandible > maxilla (2:1)

– Concomitant oral disease 7-fold risk for BRONJ with IV BPs

[email protected]

Page 35: MRONJ

Risk factors (continued)

Demographic/systemic factors

Age: 9% increased risk for every passing decade

Multiple myeloma patients treated w/ IV BPs

Race: Caucasian

Cancer diagnosis

multiple myeloma > breast cancer > other cancers

Osteopenia/osteoporosis diagnosis concurrent w/ cancer diagnosis

Additional risk factors:

Corticosteroid therapy

Diabetes

Smoking

Poor oral hygiene

Chemotherapeutic drugs

Pathologic Fracture

[email protected]

Page 41: MRONJ

Staging of BRONJ Proposed by AAOMS:

– Patients at risk (Subclinical)

No apparent exposed/necrotic bone in pts treated w/ IV or oral BPs

– Patients with BRONJ

Stage 1: Exposed/necrotic bone, asymptomatic, no infection

Stage 2: Exposed/necrotic bone, pain, clinical evidence of infection

Stage 3: Exposed/necrotic bone, pain, infection, one or more of the following:

– Pathologic fracture, extra-oral fistula, osteolysis extending to inferior border

[email protected]

Page 42: MRONJ

Stage 0 Lesions

Spontaneous onset numbness and pain

No exposed bone

No prior dental antecedent

Positive image findings:

– Sclerosis

– Positive bone scan

[email protected]

Page 43: MRONJ

Subclinical Risk Assessment

Early signs of BP toxicity:

– Radiographs

Panoramic, PA films

– Sclerosis of alveolus, lamina dura

– Widening of PDL space

– Clinical exam

Tooth mobility

– Unrelated to alveolar bone loss

Deep bone pain with no apparent etiology

[email protected]

Page 44: MRONJ

Risk Assessment: Bone Turnover Markers

Bone Turnover Markers

– Most assess bone formation

AP, osteocalcin

Marx: Serum CTX marker

– Bone resorption

– Oral BP risk

– Type I collagen telopeptide assay

ELISA/RIA – Quest Diagnostics

– Cleaved at carboxyl end by osteoclast in bone resorption

NTX – marker cleaved at amine end

– Requires 1 mL whole blood – fasting

[email protected]

Page 45: MRONJ

Serum CTX Peptide

Low values = high risk

– Little osteoclastic function

Marx, et al 2007 (JOMS)

– 17 pts on oral BPs > 5 years

– CTX before/after drug holiday (6mos)

– Before drug holiday:

CTX range 30-102 pg/mL

– After drug holiday:

CTX range 162-343 pg/mL over 6 months

Improved mucosal healing

– Drug holiday allows for osteoclast recovery

– 4-6 months: reasonable, safe, and minimizes risk of BRONJ

What this means for you as a practitioner

Routine dental care a MUST for BRONJ pts and Non-BRONJ pts taking BPs

dental prophylaxis nonoperative periodontal care restorative procedures conventional fixed and removable prosthodontics

Invasive procedures on case-by-case basis Elective oral surgery apical surgery periodontal bone recontouring implants orthodontic tooth movement

[email protected]

Page 51: MRONJ

Treatment Strategies

Patients about to initiate IV bisphosphonate tx – Objective: minimize risk of developing BRONJ

– Dental prophylaxis, caries control, conservative restorative dentistry

– Adjustment of denture flanges to minimize mucosal trauma

– Extraction of nonrestorable teeth

– Completion of elective dentoalveolar surgery

– If systemic conditions permit:

Delay Bisphosphonate therapy until dental health optimized

14-21 days after extractions

[email protected]

Page 52: MRONJ

Treatment Strategies

Asymptomatic patients receiving IV BPs

– Maintenance of good oral hygiene, dental care

– Avoid invasive procedures

Nonrestorable teeth:

– Remove crowns

– Endodontic treatment of remaining roots

Avoid placement of implants

[email protected]

Page 53: MRONJ

Treatment Strategies

Asymptomatic patients receiving oral BPs

– Less than 3 years with no clinical risk factors:

No alteration or delay in elective surgery

Implants permitted

– Discuss risks

– Regular recall schedule

Discuss with PCP re: alternate dosing, drug holidays !!!, BP alternatives

[email protected]

Page 54: MRONJ

Treatment Strategies

Asymptomatic patients receiving oral BPs (continued)

– Less than 3 years, concomitant steroid use

Contact PCP re: drug holiday for at least 3 months prior to surgery

Restarted after osseous healing complete (3 months)

– More than 3 years, with/without concomitant steroid use

Contact PCP re: drug holiday for 3 months prior to oral surgery

Restarted after osseous healing complete

– CTX???

[email protected]

Page 55: MRONJ

Conservative extraction??

[email protected]

Page 58: MRONJ

Treatment Strategies

Patients with Established Diagnosis of BRONJ – Objectives: eliminate pain, control infection, minimize

progression/occurrence of necrosis

– Marx:

debridement may worsen condition

– Removal of bone serving as soft tissue irritant, loose bony sequestra

Without exposure of uninvolved bone

– Extraction of teeth within exposed, necrotic bone

– Avoid elective dentoalveolar surgery

[email protected]

Page 59: MRONJ

Treatment Strategies

Stage III disease – Pathologic fractures, refractory

cases

Preservation of function

– Airway, speech compromise with large mandible resections

Segmental resections, titanium plate reconstruction, external fixation.

– All infections must be cleared first

Delay reconstruction up to 3 months

– Avoid bone grafting
