Treatment of MRONJ
Removal of dead bone Use of antibiotics and mouth rinses Because MRONJ is challenging to treat, an oral surgeon with experience treating it should be consulted. Treatment of MRONJ typically involves scraping away some of the damaged bone, taking antibiotics by mouth, and using mouth rinses. After treatment, people should follow up with the oral surgeon who will evaluate healing and ensure the area is being kept clean with proper oral hygiene. Removing the whole affected area with surgery may worsen the condition and is not the first choice of treatment.
