What Researchers Did
Researchers presented a case report detailing the successful management of a 64-year-old woman with stage 0 medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) using amoxicillin/clavulanate and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
What They Found
They found that a 64-year-old woman with stage 0 MRONJ, previously refractory to clindamycin and local debridement, was successfully treated with a combination of amoxicillin/clavulanate and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This case suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy, alongside antibiotics, may be an effective management strategy for this specific condition.

Study Limitations
The primary limitation of this study is its nature as a single case report, which limits the generalizability of its findings to a broader patient population.
