Dental implant (DI) placement in high‐dose AR (HDAR) patients is widely discouraged, and thorough counseling is recommended for low‐dose AR (LDAR) patients. However, data on the role of AR type, dose, and duration remain limited. This review evaluates MRONJ associated with DIs, focusing on AR type and accumulated dose, and identifies local and systemic risk factors.Materials and MethodsThis review follows the PCC framework for PRISMA‐ScR, comparing patients on AR who developed DI‐related MRONJ to those who did not, based on the available clinical evidence. A systematic search was conducted on April 13, 2024, in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Two reviewers independently screened and extracted data; a third reviewer resolved disagreements. Data extraction included demographics, primary disease, AR type, dose, treatment duration, DI location, and MRONJ details.ResultsOf 2201 articles, 28 studies were included involving 76 patients with 215 DI (154 in LDAR, 61 in HDAR). The development of MRONJ was reported in 15 studies involving LDAR and four studies on HDAR.ConclusionsEvidence was insufficient to confirm an association between accumulated AR dose and MRONJ associated with DIs. No specific risk factors were identified, emphasizing the need for standardized reporting on AR type, dosage, treatment duration, and intervals to facilitate comprehensive risk assessment. Until evidence‐based guidelines emerge, DI therapy in HDAR or long‐term LDAR patients should be limited to specialized centers.","PeriodicalId":10455,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oral Implants Research","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144319327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Osteotomy cavities of 2.4 mm width were expanded to either 3.2 or 3.8 mm in cortical bovine bone with a thickness of 3.5 mm, using two-bladed twist drills at rotational speeds of 200, 600, or 1000 rpm, with or without saline irrigation. A logistic regression model was developed to predict the likelihood of reaching temperatures ≥ 47°C during osteotomy based on these parameters.RESULTSThe absence of irrigation, major osteotomy diameter expansion, and higher rotational speeds were identified as significant risk factors for increasing the bone-drill interface temperature by more than 10°C (OR: irrigation 177.53; expansion step 9.94; speed by 400 rpm 4.94). No osteotomy performed at a low rotational speed (200 rpm) resulted in a critical temperature rise in either drill diameter group when irrigation was provided. However, temperatures exceeded 47°C across all groups when irrigation was absent.CONCLUSIONSDental implant osteotomy procedures without irrigation result in critical heat stress at the bone-drill interface, even at low drilling speeds. Shortened protocols with large drill diameter differences of up to 1.4 mm can be safely implemented when drilling at 200 rpm with irrigation.
