Abstract

Osteonecrosis is a disease with diverse pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management. It may be associated with some medications used to treat systemic issues with bone metabolism. A few cases of jaw bone osteonecrosis have been associated with raloxifene. In this paper, the authors present a clinical report of a 64-year-old woman who presented with a necrosis foci in the right alveolar ridge of the mandible, associated with continued raloxifene use.

Oral mucosal pseudotumor - Novelty complication in patient undergoing bevacizumab therapy

Adarsh Kudva, Jonathan Koshy, Joanna Grace Jacob

Summary: MRONJ is a manifestation of bone exposure caused by drugs, and the anti-angiogenic properties of bevacizumab may be a source of osteonecrosis of the jaw. To reduce the incidence of MRONJ, emphasis should be placed on preventive dental care, strict oral hygiene, and regular dental follow-ups.

Multiple myeloma identified within the same site of the mandible with medication-related osteonecrosis of jaw: An unusual case report

Xiao-Hong Wu, Shi-Wei Chen

Summary: This report presents a case of multiple myeloma (MM) identified in a surgical specimen previously diagnosed as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in a patient with MM. The patient exhibited symptoms of both MRONJ and MM, suggesting that MM and MRONJ can occur simultaneously at the same site.

Innate Phagocyte Polarization in the Oral Cavity

Sarah Metcalfe, Natalie Anselmi, Alejandro Escobar, Michelle B. Visser, Jason G. Kay

Summary: This review focuses on the roles of macrophages and neutrophils in oral homeostasis and disease development, particularly in periodontal disease and cancer. The polarization changes of macrophages play a crucial role in maintaining oral health and contributing to disease progression. Recent studies also reveal phenotypic heterogeneity in neutrophils within the oral cavity, and their interactions with oral microbiota can worsen disease states.

Bioadhesive polymer/lipid hybrid nanoparticles as oral delivery system of raloxifene with enhancive intestinal retention and bioavailability

Xinhui Du, Na Gao, Xiaoyong Song

Summary: RLX is a second-generation selective estrogen receptor modulator used to treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. However, its poor solubility has hindered the development of injectable forms and led to low oral bioavailability. This study introduced a bioadhesive nanosystem for oral delivery of RLX, enhancing its bioavailability and addressing formulation challenges.

Understanding precancerous lesions of the oral cavity

Adam J. Luginbuhl, Andrew P. South

Summary: Precancerous lesions provide valuable insights into tumor development and prognosis. This study comprehensively characterized the genomic features of leukoplakia, a precancerous lesion, and identified increasing mutation rates and early caspase-8 inactivation during the progression from benign leukoplakia to squamous cell carcinoma. The findings highlight the potential for disease interception at the premalignant stage.

Bacterial cellulose adhesive composites for oral cavity applications

Juhi Singh, Nigel C. S. Tan, Usha Rani Mahadevaswamy, Nattharee Chanchareonsook, Terry W. J. Steele, Sierin Lim

Summary: A drug delivery platform with extended soft tissue adhesion capability of up to 7 days is proposed for on-site management of oral wounds, utilizing bacterial cellulose and photoactivated carbene-based bioadhesives. The composite exhibits adhesion strength ranging from 7 to 17 kPa and duration exceeding 48 hours in wet conditions, surpassing traditional mucoadhesives based on hydrophilic macromolecules. This study marks the first evaluation of BC composites for mucoadhesive treatments in the buccal cavity.

The Evolving Epidemiology of Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Cancers

Anil K. Chaturvedi, Neal D. Freedman, Christian C. Abnet

Summary: This article introduces the etiology and prevention measures of oropharyngeal cancers. Early studies showed associations between smoking and alcohol consumption with oropharyngeal cancers, while recent research has identified human papillomavirus (HPV) as the major cause. Therefore, controlling smoking and alcohol use, as well as HPV vaccination, are the most effective methods for preventing oropharyngeal cancers. Additionally, the carcinogenic effects of alternative tobacco products are also being investigated.

Other iatrogenic immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders in the oral cavity: a clinicopathologic study of 4 cases and literature review

Masami Kawaharada, Satoshi Maruyama, Tatsuya Abe, Manabu Yamazaki, Akira Kurokawa, Wataru Katagiri, Ritsuo Takagi, Takafumi Hayashi, Tadaharu Kobayashi, Jun-ichi Tanuma

Summary: This study described the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features of other iatrogenic immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (OI-LPD) in the oral cavity. Results showed that EBV-positive OI-LPD had a higher percentage of mouse double minute 2-positive cells, and a literature survey revealed that OI-LPD primarily occurs in the gingiva with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1.9 and a high EBV positivity rate of 93.8%. The combination of multiple immunosuppressive drugs may be a risk factor for osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Formulation and Evaluation of a Self-Microemulsifying Drug Delivery System of Raloxifene with Improved Solubility and Oral Bioavailability

Muhammad Mohsin Ansari, Dang-Khoa Vo, Ho-Ik Choi, Jeong-Su Ryu, Yumi Bae, Nadeem Irfan Bukhari, Alam Zeb, Jin-Ki Kim, Han-Joo Maeng

Summary: This study aimed to enhance the aqueous solubility and oral bioavailability of raloxifene hydrochloride (RLX), a BCS class II drug, using a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS). The optimal composition of RLX-SMEDDS was determined using pseudo-ternary phase diagrams, resulting in a small droplet size and stable microemulsification. RLX-SMEDDS exhibited significantly higher saturation solubility, dissolution rate, and pharmacokinetic parameters compared to RLX powder.
