We systematically reviewed the prognostic factors in patients undergoing treatment for MRONJ. In total, 33 studies met the inclusion criteria out of 1,388 screened citations. For analysis, we grouped the prognostic factors into five categories as follows: medication-related, underlying conditions, lesion-related, serum markers, and treatment modalities. Discontinuation of antiresorptive therapy was a medication-related factor significantly associated with better treatment outcomes. Regarding underlying conditions, malignancy, especially multiple myeloma, was associated with worse treatment outcomes. Among lesion-related factors, better treatment outcome was noted for maxillary lesions and lesions with sequestrum formation. By contrast, lesions of advanced stages and those with periosteal reaction had poor treatment outcomes. Regarding treatment modality, surgical therapy was associated with a better chance of healing. Results of our meta-analysis helped identify prognostic indicators of MRONJ and will assist in decision-making in the clinical setting.
