Abstract
|
|
|
The management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) around a dental implant is difficult. Conservative treatment is recommended; however, patients do not exhibit improvement. Thus, several adjunctive therapies have been introduced. Herein, we describe a case of MRONJ around a dental implant in a 68-year-old man. Owing to the patient¡¯s history of multiple myeloma, treatment with teriparatide was contraindicated. We achieved successful results with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and surgical intervention. Clinicians treating patients with MRONJ should conduct a thorough examination before selecting the modalities of adjuvant therapy, thereby establishing a solid treatment strategy.
