Comment on “Nonsurgical Management of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws Using Local Wound Care” by Hadaya et al

We read with great interest the article by Hadaya et al,1 who used a novel nonsurgical treatment for patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) and reported much a higher healing rate in patients (71%) compared with the healing rate obtained in a multicenter retrospective study (25.2%).2 However, according to other recent articles, the surgical treatment of patients with MRONJ is more effective than nonsurgical treatment.2,3 In addition, extensive surgery in combination with well-vascularized flaps dramatically improved the healing rate in patients with MRONJ.
