Prognostic factors for outcome of surgical treatment in medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Published in: Journal of the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (2018)

This study demonstrated that CRP, UCONNS, serum alkaline phosphate, and size of osteolysis were statistically significant factors in predicting the prognosis of surgical outcome of MRONJ. Among these factors, UCONNS can predict the prognosis of MRONJ surgery as a scale that includes various influencing factors, and UCONNS should be used first as a predictor. More aggressive surgical treatment and more definite surgical margins are needed when the prognosis is poor.
