Abstract

The purpose of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to assess the effectiveness of dental interventions in preventing or reducing the incidence of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in cancer patients receiving antiresorptive therapy, compared to similar control groups receiving no intervention. Randomized controlled trials (RCT), case-controls and cohorts on cancer patients with primary outcome being the prevalence of MRONJ were included. Four electronic databases were searched (Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science) up to February 12, 2018. A total of 409 abstracts were assessed and one case-control, one RCT and four cohort studies with 2332 cancer patients met our inclusion criteria. Risk of bias analysis followed Cochrane's handbook. Risk of bias was unclear for the case-control study and high risk for the RCT and all cohort studies. Five studies utilized preventive measures consisting of an initial examination and performing all necessary dental treatment before patients initiated antiresorptive therapy; one study used specialized post-extraction protocols utilizing plasma-rich in growth factors (PRGF) on cancer patients receiving antiresorptive therapy. Though dental preventive measures decreased MRONJ incidence by 77.3% in six studies with 2332 cancer patients (95% CI = 47.4–90.2%; p = .001) compared to control groups, quality of the evidence was low due to high or unclear risk of bias and the observational nature of five of the included studies. In conclusion, high-quality long-term prospective large sample size studies are needed to confirm these results due to high risk of bias and heterogeneous interventions. No funding.
